Success on the road!

Taking a road trip or vacation is made 'that much' more stressful for anyone with food "issues". It's bad enough that you have to make sure you've remembered all your "stuff":

Did we pack enough underwear? socks? shampoo? Do I have my hair straightener? razor? confirmation numbers? Do we have enough gas? Deodorant?

But then...half-way to your destination: "I'm hungry" rings in your ears. AAAGGGHHHH!! What can I feed her?! D'Angelo's? Nope. Subway? Nope. There's a deli? Nope. Shit.Shit.Shit.

But this time was different. This time we were prepared. This time I packed bread :o) 100% All Natural Nature's Pride Honey Wheat Bread (sadly no longer exists since Hostess Brands closed...but we can replace this with Nature's Promise!) "Each soft and delicious slice is 100% natural with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. And of course, no high fructose corn syrup." - YAY TEAM!!

It's amazing what 2-4 little slices of bread can do. Now we can buy everyone else sandwiches from the deli that uses Boar's Head deli meat & cheese...and then I can buy 1/4 lb of ham and 1/4 lb of cheese...buy some French's Mustard and voilà: SUCCESS!

Success because we brought our own bread. Who would have thought that a few slices of bread could make or break a vacation. If we would not have gotten our hands on this bread, we would have been faced with either a hungry and whiny 10 year old girl or else a defiant, hive-ridden, anxiety-riddled, whiny 10 year old girl.

For us, this weekend...bread equals happiness equals solid, family time...

...equals good memories equals SUCCESS :o)
