We've been eating pears for snacks like crazy the last day or two- I'm cutting off the bite marks and trying to foist these off on the family. :)

If One Is Good, Then Eight Is Better!
I went to Costco over the weekend and stocked up on fruit and veggies. Silly me, I left the pears on the floor while I figured out where to put all this stuff. O'Malley went to town, and I'm told by several unreliable sources that Snow White helped, but she denies any participation.

Marketing
So I pose this question:
If you couldn't read, which of these would you assume is the strawberry cereal?
Why do they insist on putting pictures of strawberries on the spoon when it's a "healthier" kind of cereal? Is it supposed to illustrate that you'll need to add something to make it taste better, or what? I had the hardest time trying to explain to Snow White and Ariel that the OTHER one was strawberry flavored, and that the corn bran doesn't actually have any strawberries in the box. They didn't believe me at all, of course, and why would they? I mean, look at the box. People trying to sell you things are always telling the truth, right?

Daylight Savings Stinks
The kids don't care that the clock has changed. Schedules have been so off as I look at the clock and they listen to their internal clocks. Usually I keep the playroom clock wrong on purpose for a few days just so I know what time they THINK it is. And I change all the other ones to the right time.
So Brinks, WHY does your alarm panel in my kitchen not update itself automatically? That's the clock I look at to see when it's time to make lunch. My poor babies keep asking when lunch will be ready, and I tell them in just a few minutes, it's only just almost noon.
but no, it's nearly one. And they're hungry. And I'm annoyed. No wonder the morning felt like it dragged a bit. it's a whole hour later than I thought it was. But the friendship soup is nearly done, finally, and everybody loves it, so that's a good thing at least. How sad for them if I was spending all this extra time making something they don't like.
