Yellow Death

Today I made macaroni and cheese. I make macaroni and cheese about once a week but the kids request it every day. E-v-e-r-y day. So I pull it out of the fridge. Let's get something straight... it's not even the good mac and cheese. It's the western family kind made with the only butter I can find -but it's not butter or even margarine-it's diet substance . Sometimes I pull the leftover mac out of the fridge and think "there's no way they're going to eat this" and I brace myself for their complaints and try and think what else I can make. I mean, the only thing worse than this macaroni is this macaroni the next day. I feel like I'm handing them a big bowl of kidney failure. It baffles me. I guess I can't complain, it's makes my life easier. It all just makes me wonder, how did pioneer children survive without mac and cheese? or cap'n crunch? or ramen noodles?
