Busy

I think that one of my biggest obstacles to changing the current lifestyle that I lead is going to be the planning. I thought that it was going to cost to much or that the food would taste less than desirable but that isn't true. I thought that the exercise would be difficult to work in (though we aren't where we should be) but it isn't. The difficult aspect of this lifestyle change is the planning that has to go into travel.

We have to go at least half and hour one way to get Veg from the store. We can get it here to some degree but it isn't a very good selection. We have to go to the same city to get the car gizmos looked at and my husband works in this city so sometimes the kids and I have to go to his work. It isn't really realistic to just stay confined to the farm either. Like I said before in an earlier post, we will have to venture out for some reason or another anyway and we will encounter the world. But what have we done when encountering the world? We caved in.

Last night the time constraint in what was happening between where we were and where we needed to be and the children hungry and I hadn't left enough time to make anything (based on what we had on hand at home) led to eating at a Fast Food Joint. I still have a head ache and I really don't feel well. Mostly though I feel stupid. I know better and yet.... there it is. Lack of planning and bad decision making.

I'm chalking this up to a lesson learned and a reminder. From this point forward I am always going to take food with us no matter if I think that we are going to be back home in time or not. I just can't predict everything.

P.S. I know that I have been told to travel with food before mostly because of the kids but now I won't scoff at it.
