The Lunch Lady is NOT Happy!!

There are things I love about school, and things I really hate about school. One of the things I hate most about school is making lunches!! I'm not exactly sure what I hate most about it, but I know I hate it. So here goes my rant:

I hate....

...the smell of reusable lunch bags.
...opening up the lunch box after school only to see that the majority of it wasn't eaten!!! (this one might be the worst one).
...trying to come up with ideas of things that my kids actually will eat.
...the fact that their lunches sit in that bag for half the day before they eat them.
...when I wake up to make lunches and realize I haven't been to the store and therefore have nothing to put in them!
...when something leaks--yuck.
...when I take a tiny bite of a cracker or something that wasn't eaten and it tastes like the oranges or bananas that had been packed in with it.
...when the kids eat half their gogurt or pudding and then leave the rest open in the lunch box.
...trying to find foods that are healthy, can sit in a lunch box all day, and that the kids like.

Okay, so that is my rant. My kids hate cafeteria lunches (and I am not too keen on what they pass off as healthy food), so I have no choice but to make 3 lunches everyday. Gosh, when is summer break again?!

I remember that orange/banana sandwich taste from when I was in high school! Ben would fit right in with your kids--he rarely eats all his lunch and has such a small list of foods he will actually take. I never thought things like this would be so difficult!

Wow, I thought it was just Kaitlyn... leaving food half eaten in her lunch box is a pet peeve of mine!
