?????

Today I have some questions that I can never find the answers to.  Before I begin let me tell you just a little bit about me. I have been a SAHM since my first child was born, and now that the youngest is away at school I guess I am just a SAH.  I was always the one who did without so whoever needed shoes, jeans, school fees, or whatever could have it, and honestly I never really minded. There were a lot of tight financial times, but one thing we never compromised on was food.  I have always been a pretty decent cook and could always make something really delicious using inexpensive ingredients.

 I love good and tasty food.  I would love to have a month of deliciousness and never repeat the same meal twice.  I would love to have the meals prepared for me and never have to worry about cleaning the kitchen.  And I know how delusional all those loves are, which brings me to my questions.


Why am I the only one who can eat the same thing 2 days in a row?  I hate wasting food so if I have to have leftover vegetable soup 5 days for lunch to finish it, I will do it.

Why am I the only one who sees a box of Corn Flakes with 1 serving left and will eat it for breakfast or lunch even though I really don't like cereal at all?

Why am I the one who will actually look in the refrigerator and see the half clamshell of strawberries that have to be eaten today or tossed and eat them instead of what I really want.

Why am I the only one who will look and see if a box of crackers is empty before opening another one? (Same question applies to any and all snack foods)

Why am I supposed to know at 10 am what I am going to cook for supper so other unnamed individuals can plan their lunch without the possibility of having to eat chicken prepared 2 different ways in the same day? (For the record, I rarely have any idea what I am going to cook until I am actually in the kitchen cooking)

Why am I the only one who can empty the dishwasher?

And the most important question is, after all these years of never having these questions answered, why am I even wondering what the answer is?
