The agenda for today included Mommy & Me pictures with my newborn, and I was less than pleased with my performance.  I know I just had a baby six weeks ago, but the bulge here and there greatly influenced me being unhappy with the photos. 

      At any rate, once we were done with the pictures, it was nearing noon and I went to pick up the older one at Grandma's house.  He told me he wanted to go out to lunch.  As my mind went to my here and there bulges, knowing that a nice, nutritious and carb-free lunch awaited me at home, I replied to my son, "Sure, why not?"

      I know he was thinking McDonald's where I can spend three bucks on a ridiculous toy and four french fries, (because the rest ends up in the trash or the dog's bowl at the end of the day), but I had seen a commercial for IHOP the night before and was advised that STUFFED FRENCH TOAST IS BACK!!!!!!!   For a limited time, only at participating restaurants, and all that jazz. 

     Off to IHOP we go.  As soon as we walked in, my four year old quickly asked the waitress, "Do you still have the Who-Cakes?"  Or, as I like to refer to them, the diabetic induced sugar seizure with a lollipop on top. 

     I ate all of my blueberry stuffed french toast and my son made a bit of a dent in his pancakes before going right for the lollipop.  Once he had consumed the lollipop, he used the lollipop stick to scrape off the multi-colored chocolate chips from the pancakes straight into his mouth.  What a healthy lunch!  And while he did all this, I swear those uneaten pancakes were staring at me and taunting me.  "Don't let us go to waste.  We're fluffy and filled with buttermilk.  Meat is bad, you've had too much protein lately.  Meat bad, carbs good.  Eat us...eat us...eat us....

     Of course I ate the pancakes.  They were for my...er...um...I'm breastfeeding right  now...so...uh...for milk production!  Yeah, that's it!  For milk production.
