Empty...

Our fridge that is....

Yep, it's been 2 1/2 months since I've had to prepare a meal.  It's been that long since I've had to go to the grocery store to buy supplies for meals.  (I've only gone to the store for snack stuff and Matt's lunch stuff that we run out of on a weekly basis)

Yes, we have been EXTREMELY blessed.  First, by all the family that stocked up our freezer and fridge and cooked meals for us.  Secondly, by our amazing sunday school class-- people that barely know us! 

I can't tell you how sad I am to see the last meal cooked.  Many people don't think to provide meals for people with multiple children (they think we've got it under control I guess-- NOT!) :)  or to provide meals after family has been in town to help.  However, I am SO glad our class did think of this.  We've struggled with Micah's fussiness... and even though he was fussy most of the day, the worst was that mid-afternoon evening time. (He's getting SO much better, thankfully)  Conveniently, right when dinner needs prepared.  I honestly think we would have lived off of mac and cheese and sandwiches if these meals had not been around.  I was EXHAUSTED!  Even after we hit the 1 month mark and we were starting to get out of the house more, meals would have been difficult. 

So to anyone who helped us with meals these past 2 1/2 months- THANK YOU! And especially thank you to Mom, Grandpa and Aunt Debbie who stocked our fridge and freezer with stuff that I am still finding to use!!! (mostly Grandpa though, let's be honest, I still have un-used spaghetti sauce!! woohoo!)

Now... it's time to start preparing meals again... I think I'll start slow with the crock pot :)
