Motherhood is not for wimps.

"I'M SOOOOOOOO HUNGRY!"

My 7 1/2-yr-old is currently WAILING in her bedroom, after RUNNING up the stairs and STOMPING down the hall.

"THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!" she screams.

Ah, yes, tell me about it.

"I WANT EASY MAC!"

Yes, yes, I know - isn't it sad that I'm not making Easy Mac tonight??

"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEEASE CAN'T I JUST HAVE SOMETHING THAT I LIKE???!!!"

Well geez, kid, you at least need to try this stuff that I slaved over a hot stove today to make {Jackie I think this "grown-up" m&c is great, really.}

HONESTLY, why do I even TRY to make home-cooked, nutritious, non-preservative filled foods, from scratch, when all my kids want is the FAKE STUFF?
