I am getting better about pairing "sweet" (fruits) with "savory", something I used to loathe.
I only tried ricecakes once...I'm not sure if I was able to swallow it.

I've never been a Mother. I glanced at The Guide to Mothering" book you refer to, and saw that it was too hard a job so I never "applied" and opted to fritter my life away at the movies. In thumbing through the manual, I did see in very small print that all others do come first for Moms. BUT after others are squared away, there is MOMMY TIME you must set aside for you to rejuvenate those juices. ( Daddies must help out too, even if they have a full-time job. ) For the sake of brevity, the only advice I can offer you here in your advice column is what flight attendants say on airplanes: put your oxygen mask on first, so you can help your family.[u]charliechaplinfan[/u] wrote:Where is it in the guide to mothering that says that a mother will see to all others first? ...And you guys have kept me sane. The one thing I can manage is to watch movies and I just love coming here to discuss them with such generous people.
