“What’s for dinner?” my husband asked.

“Nothing. Just, nothing!” I sputtered out with a bit of impatience and frustration.

My husband broke into a fit of laughter on the other end of the phone. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

So I asked him, “When would I have had time to think about dinner today?”

You see, we were leaving for vacation the very next morning. I had been gone most of the day. Who needs dinner?! We had bags to be pack, loose ends to tie up and a house to be put in order so we wouldn’t return to a mess. I was tired and my mind was focused on the overwhelming task at hand.
