My only advice, as a fellow Mommy ... Keep your hands OFF the kids' food! This way lies PERIL and TRAGEDY!

I think that was what got me here, if the whole truth be known.

Last night I actually managed to THROW AWAY my eldest's grilled cheese remains. With pride. This morning ... my carb-restricted elderly cat was munching it, on the floor.

Ya can't win.
