Cakes, Cakes, No... Pannnnnncakes!

Today was a good day
I was up early enough to get the kids to school
without rushing, I was able to go by 
Barnes & Noble 
to purchase a book 
written by a friend
(way cool!)
and 
I was even able to 
make good on the promise to feed ducks 
with the littlest ones today. 
I was rocking it. 

So imagine my 
dismay when around 3:30 
I began to get the warning signs 
of a migraine.
I was so very sad about it
because I knew 
 the one that I felt coming on
 was going to be a whopper
and it is... It's a big one. 

I didn't know how I was going to make it tonight, 
but I took some medicine 
and despite feeling 
awful, 
I was able to stick to my guns 
and make the family
funfetti pancakes 
in honor of 
National Pancake Day

They aren't the prettiest pancakes I've made, but they did the trick, and were edible, so I guess that's all that really matters LOL

I had planned to cook these 
bad boys from scratch, 
I had a recipe and all that jazz
ready to go, 
but alas 
my migraine said, 
"No way Lady. You're not cooking from scratch today!" 

Instead, I used 
the just add water 
pancake mix
(the horror)
and 
made the batch as quickly as I could 
so I could return to lying down position. 
I'm taking a reprieve from my 
slumber to write this post. 

I must ask, 
did you celebrate 
National Pancake Day? 
Were you up for the challenge? 
What's your favorite kind of pancake? 
I enjoy funfetti, 
but 
red velvet is a close second. 

Tomorrow is:
National Corned Beef Hash Day
and 
National Chocolate Milk Day

Chocolate Milk, I've got covered, 
but that hash... 
Stay tuned...

  4. Ugh. I get migraines too and it feels like the world is going to end. I'm so glad you were able to spend some time with your family for National Pancake Day.

  5. I get migraines often, since I was 9. Tried every OTC and prescription only for them to not work or make it worse. There is nothing harder than trying to be a wife and mom with a migraine or in my case, the hangover of a migraine cause when mine get so bad there is no getting me out of my room, touching me, or talking to me. Light and someone touching my flesh or noise feels like I am being stabbed. No fun.

  6. My girls have always been big fans of chocolate chip pancakes. So I kind of combined pancake day with milk chocolate day!

  11. This is great! Glad you stuck with it, us moms always do that. WE put our kids first even on our off/bad days. I remember telling my Dad that one morning I felt so sick, but the kids were fine. I wanted so badly just to have them stay home from school because I could barely move, but I didn't. I got up, made breakfast, did our routine and got them to school and my Dad said "that's because you are a MOM"
