The other night we were scheduled to take the kids to the gym to play while I got an evening workout in. But the kids were really whiney and something just didn't feel right so I opted to keep everyone home for the evening. By bedtime that night Hammy had a fever and wasn't feeling well. By 1am she was throwing up and didn't stop till about 5am. The entire next day she cuddled with me in my bed and watched TV and played on the tablet. If you know anything about 5 year olds keeping them in one spot is nearly impossible so you know she wasn't feeling her best. And since she needed her Momma I didn't get a darn thing done. Including dinner. So what does a GF, DF, BF, BF, etc. family do when Mom's not around to make dinner? We send one of the dads off to get dinner from the grocery store.
Daddy, the Writer, ran down to the grocery store and got a nice rotisserie chicken (check the ingredients! Sometimes these are injected with gluten products but our local grocery store doesn't), a steam pack of broccoli, and a big bowl of cut fruit.
Dinner was saved!
Our little Ham decided dinner wasn't in the cards for her and went to bed super early. And Birdie girl ate so fast that I didn't get to snag a picture. So there are no pictures for this post, unfortunately. But what I wanted to extend to you is that although getting a quick bite from a fast food joint is really difficult grabbing a few pre-made things from the grocery is DOABLE, EASY, and arguably HEALTHIER than the McCrap you would have brought home before.
Hammy's fever has broken after 2 days and she's back to being her silly cheerful self for the most part, although her appetite is still lacking. I'm hoping she'll be back to her full antics soon enough and Praying that our little Bird doesn't catch it next!
