dinner date at the hospital

Matt's residency program splits up the Christmas and New Year holiday weeks so only half of the residents work Christmas week and the other half work New Years week.  It gives everyone a chance to have a full week off during the holidays which is fabulous!  But the bad part is when you're working, you're working.  His hours this week make me appreciate his normal schedule so much more.  Residency could be like this all the time.  So I guess I can take a week of it.  This week he is working his normal 7 to 4 everyday (except Christmas day), he has three 5-10 pm shifts, and he's working Saturday and Sunday. 

So last night we met Matt at the hospital for dinner since he wasn't going to see Willa between Sunday night and Wednesday night.  I don't know why I think a cafeteria is such a treat when you can order anything you want for free, but I do.  I made myself a big salad with all the fixings and had a big bowl of chicken tortellini soup.  Plus I got a fancy chocolate mousse dessert and a soda.  Matt is so used to the cafeteria by now.  He just had a slice of pizza covered in pepperoni (that he shared with me and Willa - it just looked so yummy).  Miss ya hubbs.  Thanks for the cafeteria date.  See you next week.

I love cafeteria dates too. Ours are more like family affairs since my kids are older and I bring three. But they are fun experiences, none the less.

I'd like a cafeteria (actually a buffet would do) in my home that was always open and always stocked with fresh and healthy food
