And no, I wasn’t just being funny. I was quite serious that my Kitchen Aid mixer better be given the most special treatment ever….and who ever picked it up, knew his/her life was depending on it.

I know most people don’t know my eating habits (yet?) but for the most part, I make everything homemade, avoid chemicals (despite the last post’s implications) when I can, and like to think that we eat pretty healthy.

Except this day.

This day, we had our family of 6, plus 4-12 helpers throughout the day, and so I grabbed the most convenient, cheapest, most universal food I could think of.

Boxed pizza.

I must say, midway through the day and after the 12th pizza* I pulled out of the oven, that was probably the best frozen pizza I’ve ever had, too, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. If regular readers existed here and knew what I was, health, fitness, and mommy bloggers would lecture me here…..but because nobody’s really reading this yet, I have nothing to be afraid of. I liked every bite of that Totino’s pizza and I wouldn’t have changed it for the world. :P

And if that weren’t bad enough, that morning, I pulled out a frozen apple pie for the kids’ breakfast. Someone had given it to us quite a while back, but I hadn’t use it because we don’t usually eat pie….and when we do, I make it myself. I figured on our first day in a new house, why not celebrate by having dessert for breakfast?

Yes, frosting and all. No, it wasn’t a very nutritional day, but whatever. It was fun. Don’t ask what we had for supper that night, though….

Shut up. :P

*Not that I expect you to notice, but in case you did, the pizza pictures show different colored counters. I actually cooked the first batch at the old house while continuing to pack and clean. Then when we took the load over to the new house, I cooked more in the oven there.

That’s what the picture looks like, right? No food, but a heart for “cemicals,” ha!

To take the mystery out of the picture, what actually happened was I let the girls help me label some of the boxes. In one of the first trips, we took all the food over to the new house and put it away immediately. That gave us an empty box and it’s one of the few that we reused. One of the girls marked out food, repacked it with “chemicals” from under the kitchen sink, and tossed on a doodle like I had been.
