Today my children had a dentist appt. As a parent there are few things worse than
taking your children in to have cavities filled. Especially my son and his world’s biggest gag
reflex. But in the end we made it
through, I sat with my son, and my wife with my daughter and their teeth are as
good as knew. The problem here lies with
the fact my wife has grown into a habit of taking the kids out to Steak and
Shake after dr.’s and occasional dentist appointments. And the kids have grown to expect it. 
Now I of course had missed breakfast again this
morning, and knew there was no way I could handle Steak and Shake (I LOVE that
place). But there was a Wendy’s nearby,
and I figured I could eat a salad, or perhaps a grilled chicken breast and a
sweet potato. So I convinced the kids
that Wendy’s was a better option.
The problem was that as I pulled into the Wendy’s
the parking lot was full, and the restaurant looked full. (Maybe a lot of people had the same problem I
did). Now I had a car full of hungry
people who are all a little irritable after a morning in the Dentist’s
office. So I do what any wise dad would
do I hit the drive through. Now if your
smarter than I am you have already realized my problem. I didn’t realize it until I pulled up to the
order screen.
None of the items I had planned on eating could be
eaten while driving a car. As a matter
of fact, as far as I can tell, nothing on the healthier side of things can be
eaten while driving a car. I panicked
but went the other way and I didn’t order myself anything. Now I am driving back from Jackson it’s
around 1:00 in the afternoon and I still haven’t eaten today. The smell of Wendy’s fill the car and I am
growing more and more angry as I really want to be eating myself.
Finally as I pull into my own town, I stopped and
bought a roast beef sub without mayo. It
was the healthier option, but I wasn’t a happy camper by the time I got to
it. I once again forgot to keep my food
journal. These last few weeks have been
difficult. I remember how easy this all
seemed back in June. I am hoping August
will go more like that then July has gone for me. Till Then…
