It's usually just me and the kids for dinner. Which really translates to: I fix whatever quick and easy kid food there is in the house and then I either just snack, or make Jason bring something home later. I'm sure most of you understand the reasoning behind this. It's really hard to motivate yourself to think of what to make, make it, try to eat it, and then have to clean it up. Without anyone else around over 48 inches tall. So tonight, for the first time in longer than I am willing to admit, I made a semi-real dinner. And I thought it was gross. I think that is the hardest part. After all, even if Jason was home I would still be the one to think of what to make and make it, and realistically be the one to also clean it up. But why can't it taste good? It makes me feel like those 35 minutes I actually put into it was all for not. But hey, at least there's left overs for Jason and the kids, they never seem to mind what I make. But now, I'll start snacking just like I would have had I thrown some easy-mac in the microwave.

McDonalds is my best friend! Try it! I support them every other day...at least buying a Diet Coke!
I am with ya with making a delightful healthy meal.....nada!
Easy Mac is gross.
Lisa, you're gross.
Aww...I'm sure it was a good meal. I can't imagine cooking and dealing with kids, I probably would have no motivation for it either.
Easy Mac is grosser than me
I seriously could have written this, minus the "gross" part. Bill has class two nights a week right during dinner time and I refuse to cook for just me and the kids. We always did the corndogs or something for the kids, then when they were in bed, one of us would go get something. But when we realized we could no longer pay our bills because we were single- handedly funding the fast food industry, we had to stop. So I have actually been cooking almost every night, but usually don't have it ready til right when Bill gets home (7:00) so we do eat together. It makes it more worth it to actually cook. And I like my cooking.
I don't cook very good. So I wait till mitch gets home, and because he grew up with gormet cooking, he usually cant stand to wait for crap, so he jumps in and cooks some fab meal for us. Thats the way to do it.
Thank goodness for easy-mac and, my personal favorite, cold cereal.
I'm with Lisa. Easy Mac is funk-nasty. How lame is it that Kraft felt the need to simplify making Mac N Cheese. Karen, if you're reading this, please have a mother-daughter with Amy. I can mediate if you want.
Easy mac is what is wrong with the world today. You would be better off eating dirt. That real macaroni and cheese even let easy mac borrow the letters m a c is a mystery to me.
Now cold cereal....do you really need any other kind of food in the house if you have cereal??
HA!Rhetorical question.
