Schedules

It's been about ten days since I delivered the last batch of food to mom. Since then, she's had a few things happen in her life that have altered her normal routine. She wasn't feeling well for the past week. And then, one of my brothers and his family came to visit her over this long Labor Day weekend. As a result, she hasn't eaten my food as frequently as she would normally do.

This is a regular part of mom's life: disruption to schedules. She's used to it being the mom of eight kids! That's one of the things that makes other food alternatives difficult to find: the scheuduling requires a lot of administration time that would almost as difficult as cooking the food ourselves. Really a schedule for mom is probably the exception to the norm. And there is nothing mom loves more than having her children, grand children, and great grandchildren come to visit. When they do, mom eats with them at restaurants or they do the cooking.

So, I am thinking about my next batch of food, but I have a breather because she still has lots of food stashed in the freezer. That's one of the reasons I package the food as I do, so mom has flexibility.
