Supper!

Well---part of this journey that my family currently experience is lack of family supper. Family suppers were always a top priority in my house, as well as my husband's house growing up. I never thought for a minute after us marrying that anything would change......but typically....I make plans and God just laughs! I honestly cannot tell you the last time my family sat down, at the table to eat "supper". Out of all the pros and cons of this type of lifestyle---this is the one thing I feel like has been robbed from us. Some people get upset about not having this or that materialistically--- but dang it I just want my family supper! I miss that time of cooking and preparing supper, waiting for Jeremy to get home, and we all sit down, as a family and talk about our day. Instead it's making a pot of mac-n-cheese, eating spaghetti 3 nights in a row, going out to eat occasionally with Lolli and Pa, or a bowl of cereal. Our supper also doesn't take place at the table. I know I should probably try harder with this, and get more control, but really, when a 2 yr old is screaming Max and Ruby and all you want to do is eat your supper in peace.....what would you do? Of course---you plop down on the couch, and you both eat your bowl of cereal together on the coffee table! Then I sit back and think--- "WHAT IN THE WORLD!? My mother would be ashamed!" Supper not only not at the table, but in front of a TV! I keep telling myself that this is not forever, that some day--- we will be together and have that family meal together again! Until then--- I'll just keep on keeping on~!
