Chinese Food

There's a lot of good meals I can cook at home, and that's how I save a lot of money, but tonight we got Chinese take-out. Its been a long while, so I splurged a little. Plus after I picked up the kids at the bus stop (who were already hungry and asking for 'snack') I went over to my girlfriends house. I have been carrying leftover garden soil from where I planted my tomatoes, and she had these nice planters she got last year intending to plant tomatoes and never did, so I got into her shed, got out the planters, and filled them up. I thought that she might never get around to getting plants (same as last year) so I went and got some tomato plants and a green pepper. I hope Theresia keeps them watered...
Anyway, since the kids were already hungry, and then STARVING by the time I was finished, I chose to forego the salmon croquettes I had planned to fix, and grab some take-out. Hey, they built my scooter...its the least I could do. We watched some TV-on DVD, and they have been asleep for like an hour.
