Food and Budget

[cjsmith]

Am I the only person I know who picks up TV dinners and divides dollars by calories?

Big ol' Tombstone extra-cheese frozen pizza: $3.50. Two meals.

Two bell peppers: $3.98. Mistake.

Yeah, the more I hang around women, the more I realize they have a politics all their own.

When I was a working mom, they sneered at me for not spending more time with my kids, and for not baking cookies for class treats. When I was a stay-at-home mom, I was sneered at for being lazy, having all that luxury, and for 'showing us up', despite the fact that I most certainly didn't try to show anyone anything, let alone 'up.'

And I get my share of sneers cooking my own food, too. Ya just can't win.

And sadly, a lot of it seems to be based on sneers. The more I realize that, the more I value my friends who don't seem to get into that game. (I'm thinking, say, mactavish here.) My friends are a happy thing!
