This past Friday was a rough day. Those of you who work online, blog, or try to do anything on the internet on a regular basis will understand my pain…
My internet was out.
I spent an hour on the phone with the internet provider, troubleshooting with no result. I unplugged, restarted, waiting, tried this and that and then tried again. And then I started feeling a little bit like a character in "Where the Wild Things Are."
“And the wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.”
I might have gnashed my teeth just a little, trying to get even a single thing done on an internet connection that reminded me of a really bad 1999 dial-up connection.
Some days you just need to step away, realize no work is going to get done, and relax. And so I did.
I took the kids on a ride to drop KitKat off at work. We stopped by the brand new library and checked out a few books. And I gave myself the night off from cooking something complicated for dinner.
Sometimes it's important to celebrate the little things like time with family and board games and new libraries with crisp, fresh-smelling books. And pizza nights at home. Because celebrating the little things makes those big, annoying things seem not quite so big and annoying.
“Then from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat, so he gave up being king of the wild things.”
Thanks to some coupons we printed out for Red Baron® pizza at Walmart, we had the perfect pizza night…and celebrated things like cheese and pepperoni and crispy crust and dinner on the table in 10 minutes. There's not much better than Red Baron® crispy crust pizza ready in 10 minutes. Unless it's Red Baron® pizza with a coupon…
I grabbed some coupons for Red Baron® pizza at Walmart, and printed out a $1 off General Mills cereals while I was at it. You can get $3 Off any THREE (3) RED BARON® Multi-Serve Pizzas, too!
And then we enjoyed digging our teeth into some yummy pizza. It's MUCH better than gnashing teet. Promise.

We just did the same thing last night. I just could not handle any fancy dinners or anything like that. I just wanted to breathe after a long day- so we ate Mexican :)
Sorry to hear about your trouble with the interenet, but sooo glad you ended up enjoying the day with family and yummy easy dinner!
I think sometimes when power goes out, or the internet goes out, those are some of the BEST family times, that force us to be together with no distractions and just enjoy each other. I am kind of glad your internet went out & you had Red Baron to help you make a great family night!
