Dinner or a Hot Poker in the Eye?

What's for dinner? I don't know if I would rather be poked in the eye with a hot stick or just repeatedly bang my head against the wall but I would take either one over the daily question of "what's for dinner?" My dream is to have a chef make dinner for me every night. I look forward to the nights when my husband is not home because it means we can just eat mac-n-cheese or even cereal for dinner. The daily ritual of figuring out what to make for dinner, setting the table, cooking and then cleaning up is akin to slow torture. Sure there are times I don't mind making dinner but the fact that it has to be done 24/7 is enough to make one, well, poke themselves in the eye with a hot poker! Maybe the problem is that there are only so many things I am willing to serve my family. I try to serve my family healthy, organic food which means most things I buy are fresh so I have to shop every couple of days, another fun chore. I don't remember being told when I got married and had children that I would be in charge of dinner every day for the rest of my life! This little bit of information should be passed down from generation to generation ahead of time so one can prepare for this task or decide to stay single to avoid this albatross. To all those who are single women or know single women, please take heed or warn them of their future should they decide to get married and have a family!
