I would like to know who thought up the idea that children have to eat while they are at school? This concept of packing a lunch for EACH child just so that they will be “properly nourished” is ridiculous.
Of course, not really, but the experience of getting lunches ready for three children, a teenager, a working guy…well, it’s damned exhausting! Because you know, they don’t all like peanut butter and jelly, and some only eat a half sandwich, and then of course I have to actually make an effort to make the damn things balanced in food groups…yeesh! Eventually I’ll just send them all off with protein shakes <grins>
It’s actually kind of cute to watch them all pick up their lunches as they head out the door in the morning and they all do really seem to appreciate it, but it is really a production and I now have more insight as to why mothers were so darned tired all those years ago…my hat is off to them <bows deeply>
