Challenges of a busy life

Next Tuesday begins the 9 month flurry of dance dance dance.  The kids will be dancing and I'll be dancing.  I've been taking zumba with Ellen and I want to continue, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to do that.  Eva has the most hectic schedule and the challenge this year will be to come up with dinner options that can be packed for her to eat on the go.  She'll be stuck with sandwiches for Monday nights.  She thinks that ramen noodles will be her Monday meal....I don't think so.  So she'll be sick of turkey and cheese by memorial day, but she doesn't like much else!  Tuesday's are a zumba night.  I'm thinking I can meet Jason in town somewhere to hand over Riley and then he can get Eva from the studio at 6pm.  However, I need to have a meal ready that won't need much input from him.  Which means we'll be having crockpot meals on Tuesdays.  Wednesdays will be ok for the first couple of weeks, until rehearsals start.  I don't want to spend the money I made teaching on chick-fil-a again this year.  That means I'll come up with relatively light meals that I can get to Eva before she consumes her ramen noodles at the studio.  That's the other thing, I'll have to tell her she gets no freebies this year.  If she wants snacks from the snack bar she'll have to buy them like everyone else.  Then Thursday is like Tuesday, but I can make dinner and fix Eva a to-go plate that she can eat in the car between the studio and C.A.P.  And then it'll be the weekend!  Wow, 4 nights of creative dinner plans.  Can't wait to see how it all turns out!
