Some days I feed my kids fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. They wake up to homemade pancakes, have a balanced lunch and go to bed after a healthy dinner.
Other days I have back to back work calls and they are left to their own devices. My girl will whip up some PB&J sandwiches for the boy, or he’ll have whatever assortment of fiber laden food he can find in the pantry (did I tell you about his obsession with raisins, oatmeal and apples. Good for his little body, not so good for our septic system. We have 3 bathrooms in our house and 4 plungers. Sorry. Had to go there. He’s cute, but he’s deadly).
Then there are total and complete fail days. Days when I start working at 6am and forget that I have to feed anyone until I’m dragging them through Target at lunch and they start foaming at the mouth for “beef” hot dogs and disgusting blue ice drinks.
Guess which day today was?
Love, Mother of the Year. Again.

Nice! If it makes you feel any better, I have observed that mixing it up with this kind of impromptu foraging really ups the approval rating from my constituents…
