It's cheap, filling and the kids will eat it and I can put different fruit on top to make it a bit more balanced diet-wise. <br /><br />All I keep thinking of is the line from "Kiki's Delivery Service" (daughter loves that movie, so I know it too well) where she says, "All we can afford to eat are pancakes" and she keeps making references that only eating pancakes will make you fat *laugh*. Not sure why that pops into my head when I think of eating pancakes regularly, but it does.Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-11403037396810413142016-04-20T16:59:54.951-08:002016-04-20T16:59:54.951-08:00I did pull the covers over my head last night for ...I did pull the covers over my head last night for a while. I'm doing better today and am just figuring I'll take it one step at a time like I always do. It'll work out one way or the other, so obsessing about it will just make overly emotional and depressed. So, I decided not to do that :).Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-75100988508458454622016-04-20T16:57:21.612-08:002016-04-20T16:57:21.612-08:00I'm doing better today after three uninterrupt...I'm doing better today after three uninterrupted hours of sleep last night (sounds like not a lot, but it really is for me). I know we'll make it okay...I was just kind of hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel only to find out the tunnel is another five miles long...such is life sometimes :).Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-84393814816875894452016-04-20T16:55:32.110-08:002016-04-20T16:55:32.110-08:00We live in the Wasilla area, about an hour North o...We live in the Wasilla area, about an hour North outside of Anchorage. *Laugh* I find it funny that I've lived in Alaska 15 plus years now and you're going to beat me to Homer your first trip out ;). I'll get there someday.<br /><br />I've been to Donna's blog a time or two, yes :). I haven't checked it out recently, I have to say. Might have to remedy that sometime soon.Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-56679717754801735712016-04-20T12:37:02.158-08:002016-04-20T12:37:02.158-08:00I feel sorry for your husband and you!

Plan to visit Anchorage, Homer, & Seward.<br /><br />Also, do you read Donna Freedman's "Surviving & Thriving" blog?

Just breath deeply and try to focus on the good stuff...like all the canned good you have put in your pantry already this year!<br /><br />Your meals look really good this week. I really like your Friday meal...it's given me some ideas for a meal when my brother visits this weekend! The club sandwiches sounds good too! We've had chocolate chip pancakes quite a bit recently as my daughter has been eating the leftovers for breakfast. I make a triple batch for dinner, then the leftovers last for a week or two. When she runs out, she starts bugging until we're forced to have it for dinner again.<br /><br />This week I'm going to try making a batch of bread pudding, to use up some of the freezer burned buns and bread crusts I've saved in there.Rhonda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00448188064878559345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-53321635185452264142016-04-20T02:43:23.207-08:002016-04-20T02:43:23.207-08:00I am so sorry you are feeling discouraged.

BTW, sometimes it's OK to pull the covers over your head and hide in bed. Just don't stay there too long!!Julia Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13890835871563216049noreply@blogger.com
