They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I mess this up on a fairly regular basis (re: every day). I'm just not a morning person and usually don't feel like eating, plus on school days I spend so much time getting the kids fed and lunches packed, I don't want to head back into the kitchen once they are out the door.
