"Did you make dinner?"

There has been a reoccuring theme lately in my house and I am not ok with it. Seems like every night I am constantly asked, "Did you make dinner?". Um, yes I did. Just like EVERY night. I will admit maybe 1 of the 7 days in the week I decide we can wing it and usually end up eating fast food or pizza. BUT it is literally once a week. Why am I constantly asked if I am making dinner?!?!

This week a new trend started, it came about after my husband couldn't get a hold of me (the kids and I were outside and phone was charging), he decided this meant I wasn't making food and called his mom to pick him up something on her way home (she is living with us). When he gets home he acts like he is shocked that I actually had already fed the kids (seriously! they eat at 5pm everyday...), made him his plate, and had his mom's food ready for her.

So when I asked why is his mom bringing him a burrito instead his reply that he didn't know if I had made dinner had me baffled. She was also concerned that we wouldn't have food around, again baffling. In my frustration I decided to make sure everyone knew from now on what dinner I have planned for everyday. I finally found a purpose for my chalkboard sticky vinyl pieces.

It may not be pretty but I guarantee there are no more questions about dinner :)
