Momservation: <\/b>The definition of being a rock star changes as we age. Currently, I\u2019m a rock star for having dinner going at 7 a.m. in a crockpot.<\/p>\n

\u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a<\/p>\n

Right now the popular thing on Facebook<\/a> is to post these simple looking math equations with a challenge like, 90% of people will fail to answer this correctly!\u00a0<\/i>So then everyone rushes to prove they\u2019re the genius 10%.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to give you the answer to them all right now though: 100% of the people who answer it will be surprised when they suddenly get a computer virus.<\/p>\n

That being said, let me run by you all a real math equation that BLOWS MY MIND! Here it is Jeopardy!<\/a> Style:<\/p>\n

The answer is 15,005.<\/b><\/p>\n

The question?<\/p>\n

What is the approximate number of meals I have prepared for my family?<\/p>\n

NO WONDER I\u2019M HAVING A HARD TIME FIGURING OUT WHAT TO MAKE FOR DINNER!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m over 15,000 meals served for my family here people\u2014go ahead and cut me some slack if I\u2019m finally running out of ideas!<\/p>\n

Let me walk you through how I figured this staggering math equation out:<\/p>\n

First, I didn\u2019t start counting meals prepared until my first child was born\u2014because when you\u2019re just a couple preparing meals is a fun culinary adventure. Plus you go out to eat a lot. Once the kids come, no one wants to deal with the ordeal of stepping foot in a restaurant and food just becomes an exercise in sustenance.<\/p>\n

So beginning 13 years ago I prepared 3 meals a day 365 days a year plus a day for each leap year:<\/p>\n

365 x 4 x 13 + (13 \u00f7 4) = 14,238<\/p>\n

Next I added 1 snack for each day of the year until both kids went off to school:<\/p>\n

14,238 + (365 x 7) = 16,793<\/p>\n

Then I subtracted two days a week for 52 weeks accounting for when Hubby would BBQ on the weekend and make Saturday morning breakfast for the last 13 years:<\/p>\n

16,793 \u2013 (52(2) x 13) = 15,441<\/p>\n

Then I accounted for 2 days a week we\u2019d eat out once we got wrapped up with Little League baseball and soccer seasons beginning when Logan was 6 yrs (13 \u2013 6) which we did for 60% of the year and subtracted that from total adjusted meals prepared:<\/p>\n

15,441 \u2013 (52(2) x .6)7 = 15,005<\/p>\n

I did not account for impromptu trips to McDonalds and Subway because if it\u2019s eaten in a car I get credit for a prepared meal.<\/i><\/p>\n

So\u2026WOW! Fifteen thousand five meals I\u2019ve made for my family in the last 13 years.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t even want to wrap my brain around how many trips to the grocery store there\u2019ve been…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
