Just Pass Me By

Let me begin by saying I am not like most women. I do not like shopping at all, I don’t mind it if I am shopping for someone else to give them a present. I like giving things to people. Now when it comes to me, I want to do as little shopping as possible. I hate buying clothes, food and other things needed around the house. I will do it because it needs to be done, but I hate it. Today I went to Cubs, they are a good store to go to. I am used to having to read the ingredients for my allergies but one thing I haven’t have to do is pay attention to Sodium, so now I am looking at ingredients and sodium because we all know I can’t give my husband something that has a huge amount of Sodium.

There are lot of things my husband enjoys including lunch meat which is so high in sodium I feel wrong buying it for him. I don’t want to have to make his lunches to, I don’t have time for that I work full time, and soon will be going back to school to finish off my degree, so home cooking lunches just is not feasible. I love my husband, the best solution I can come up with is make extras for dinner and tell him bring that and eat it. He would probably enjoy it. I am a good cook. I guess that is a blessing for us. I know how to cook. I got my mom and grandma cookings abilities, they never taught me how to cook.

I have learned most of my cooking skills by experimenting. I have a couple of friends who told me they would like me to teach them. I told them I would be willing to do that if they would like. I like baking and cooking it is enjoyable.

Today at Cubs I went right away from work, it was busier then I expected. alright I said I don’t like shopping, I don’t like dealing with cowards of inpatient people. I try to be patient but lately I haven’t been very patient. I was about ready to cry at cubs because everything me and my hubby like for lunch was so high in sodium. I can’t help but feel more and more responsible for his health problems because I wasn’t cooking homemade, I wasn’t taking care of us correctly. It falls mostly on me because I am the one who cooks.

One of his favorite soups or chili sodium was 1140 mg, I like the soup to but after seeing that I bet I could make it and make a lot lower in Sodium. I know premade food has to to have some amount of sodium in order to keep good. I am just starting to find it frustrating that everything He looks is probably very unhealthy, at the same time I realize I can’t say we can’t have this or that, because when we say No to our selves sometimes we will crave it and give in and eat to much of it. So it is best to allow it once in a while and then not eat other thing that have a higher amount of sodium.
