Cereal

What's wrong with it?, you might ask. It is an easy meal idea, cheap (especially with coupons matched up to the right sale), and just about everyone likes it in this house. Well, let me tell you something- if you eat it with milk at the table with a spoon like intended all is well. However, you put it in a bowl and put kids in front of tv for 10-30 minutes of "me" time and you end up with a floor, couch, play kitchen, purses, and buckets full of it. Then if you are anything like me and can't stand a mess, you pick it up, put said cereal back in bowl, turn around, and BAM it's thrown all over the house again. Now I ask myself, did I really need that 10-30 minutes of "me" time that bad? Really? Did I? Absolutely not. From now on they will eat their cereal as intended: with milk, at the table!
