We haven't had it our entire married life, which is a good thing. Otherwise I would sit downstairs watching the Food Network all day and making Alton Brown and Paula Deen recipes every night and Matt would have to roll me down the stairs in the morning due to my large girth at consuming so many calories and put me on a strict grocery and gas budget due to my daily trips to the store for new ingredients. I will end my comment on that note, now that my day is complete since I was able to use the word "girth".Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699572769019233908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116724020549974744.post-19029404640510374552010-07-25T20:58:39.664-05:002010-07-25T20:58:39.664-05:00Oh my!

He prefers it to anything else. We had french toast this morning for breakfast and he was totally bummed out that he didn't get to have cereal. He also loves Fiber One... I have pictures of him eating it when he was a year old (must've gotten a good deal on it or something) and he's loved it ever since. <br /><br />I totally concur on the cable TV thing - I'm bad enough with the computer!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440289717365062238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116724020549974744.post-84503675294678094242010-07-25T18:51:57.097-05:002010-07-25T18:51:57.097-05:00Oh Mary, don't take this the wrong way, but I ...Oh Mary, don't take this the wrong way, but I love reading your posts.

The kids eat it about 4 days a week on average. Although, we always eat the "healthy" kind and not Count Chocula, so at least there is that...<br /><br />Your post makes me further thankful that we don't have cable. I struggle with my internet time wasting enough as it is, it is a good thing I don't have both.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07314850743157068793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116724020549974744.post-59254043197645204892010-07-25T07:33:20.794-05:002010-07-25T07:33:20.794-05:00To clarify on the eating thing, I"m not so ba...To clarify on the eating thing, I"m not so bad about fixing things for myself, but if I get hungry I get horribly wretchedly grumpy.

Totally yes. I a...Oh my gosh, so the eating thing? Totally yes. I am the SAME. WAY. And Aaron knows and will often stop what he's doing and give me an ultimatum to eat. Tiredness doesn't do it for me quite so much, I really love my early mornings, so I can get by on less sleep than your average person (although not tons less).<br /><br />The packing thing and massive amount of blankets cracked me up. Gemma has her "entourage" as well. Silly girl.<br /><br />We did an overnighter as a family about a month back and bedtime was scary. Horribly nightmarishly scary. Enough to make me not want to leave town anytime soon again. Or ever. And honestly I'm just a home body most of the time, so it's all good. But bedtime didn't go well. Did I mention that?Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306810666140935903noreply@blogger.com
