Sometimes, you just gotta do it. There are a million reasons why you shouldn't and a million reasons why you should, but the main reason you should and not feel guilty about it is because it is just too convenient not to. Get take-out.
If there is one thing I really hate, it's FAST FOOD! Hate isn't quite strong enough a word. It makes my stomach turn to think about it. When we are out past when we expected to be out and we need to think about what we need to eat that entails a trip through that awful drive thru line, my stomach flips and I groan and think "is there any way for me to get out of this."
But sometimes you can't.
Tonight, is a 50/50...win/win situation for me and all involved. You see, Sierra is heading out early this evening to serve meals to the homeless under a bridge in downtown Houston. She needs to have something to eat BEFORE she goes, but she is leaving so early it would be hard for me to prepare her a meal.
ADD TO THAT, Daniel has his friend coming over to spend the night which adds to the stress of the evening, if I let it, in that I would need to either cook a meal ultra early for Sierra to eat than rush her to church so she can get on the bus for downtown and than rush back and reheat dinner for Daniel, friend, Matt and I.
OR.....I can go through a pesky drive thru for Sierra on our way to church (probably Whataburger, if I know her). THAN....Matt can pick up a pizza for Daniel and his friend...........AND, do WE need to eat said pizza?? WHY NO, NO we do NOT!! We just happen to have leftovers from last night's dinner, so we are good to have a good meal that does not involve any kind of yucky fast food qualities...and I feel good about that.
Allow yourself a night off if you can. There is nothing wrong with it and EVERYONE is happy and content.
