How to get Kraft Dinner served actually for dinner in 20 easy steps:
- Send daddy out of town for 4 days. Make sure he doesn't get one single day off of work for 2 weeks straight upon his return.
- Find a way to give your little sister shingles. While your dad's out of town.
- Decide that $10 isn't worth it anymore, and stop doing ALL of your chores.
- Make sure dad works late every night, keeping mom up past midnight every night waiting for him to get home. Get her on a good schedule.
- But still need to be dressed, fed and at school by 8:55 am every day.
- Work it out so that your little brothers gets good and beat up on the playground at school.
- Guilt your mother into thinking that it's somehow her fault for making him the middle child, and then send her to Science World to try & buy his love. After a long meeting with the principal, of course.
- All with your little sister.
- Who is two.
- At naptime.
- Go on a field trip while mom and siblings are at Science World. Smash your foot into something.
- Go to doctor's office, then to the Radiology department at hospital with mom, little brother, and little sister.
- Who is two.
- At bedtime.
- Feed your little sister a rock of crack cocaine, ensuring that she will not sleep anytime before 2 am.
- Drag your mom out of bed the next morning for Little League practice, make her take you to get crutches, and then take all of you for haircuts, and then the grocery store, all without dad but with your little brother and your little sister.
- Who is two.
- Over lunchtime and naptime.
- Remind your almost-comatose mother at 6:30pm that children have to eat in order to continue not dying.
- Feast upon your Kraft Dinner.

Dude, I hate to tell you, it ain't gonna get any better either. My kids are teenagers, and what did they eat Friday night because after this particular week with them, I had no internal reserves left? Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Albeit the single serve ones they can cook for themselves, but the end result is the same.

Ready to run away with me now? I am thinking the Caribbean looks nice. We could get ourselves a pool boy and a couple of personal trainers to show us what we should be doing, while they are nekkid, and we are sucking down copious amounts of alcohol with slices of fruit on the side. Dipped in chocolate...
Smootches babe. Really really big smootches.

K to the D! those were the days.....If only the damn stuff wouldn't put ThingTwo in the ground. (dairy allergy, BAH!) Thing One has to go to her friends house to get that shit. I remember having an entire cupboard of the perfect blue boxes. Half the pay cheque went to KD the other half to beer.....
Dude! Your daughter takes crack too?

Dude, I would have been feeding them Kraft Dinners too. If I knew what they were.
My standby is always 2 minute noodles. If I am feeling extra guilty I will throw some frozen peas into them too.

Kraft Mac and Cheese and a vitamin (to assuage your guilt). Good eats!
Wait, wait. Pause. So, what's wrong with kraft mac and cheese? The velveeta kind tastes better btw, worse for you...but tastes better.
Sorry you've had a rough week. *hugs*

Oh, lovely, it HAS been a week of hell for you, hasn't it?
Are there any summer camps in your future?
(Okay, I meant for the kids, but now I think a summer camp idea for moms would be AWESOME.)

You get points for making something that requires cooking. If I were you, I'd have fed them cereal.
