If groceries are coming into the house when everyone is around (or at least not when two are at school); then I think they should all have a shot to set stuff aside and put their names on them for later. I presume the younger is not...

Cheese ravioli, corn and peas tonight. Yum!   Tomorrow will be pizza and salad with friends.   The rest of the week's menu: Kidney beans and rice, and corn  Mac and cheese casserole and carrots Mock chicken...

Ah, I see. Can you call or email your doctor? I don't know what the timing is at all, but I don't think it's ER worthy.    Mayo clinic website says ER if you have symptoms of tetanus or it's a particularly bad injury, but...
