Same girl, same. I’m at my wits end with everyone else’s stuff. I want to be free of junk and never opened boxes. I allowed myself 1 medium-sized tub and a small box for memory stuff. The box primarily has old photo albums and some school stuff. The tub is filled with random items treasured from my youth, some of which I've already given to the girls. I do have a hope chest and that's where I put things from the kids I've allowed myself to keep. I'm very diligent about not letting it go beyond those spaces. It's more than enough for sentimental things. I despise having unopened boxes so I really worked on that my last two moves. It's very freeing to let it go. I’m going to channel these vibes this weekend. Getting my inner Elsa together.

Lunches here are also similar as well as changed due to COVID. They used to also have a salad bar and main course. The main course would be something like hamburgers, chicken nuggets, pasta, grilled cheese and a vegetarian option. Now there is just one option each day and it usually includes an item that is prepackaged that can be heated up in the microwave (like square pizza or a frozen sandwich). They also get some fresh fruit or veggies.
Cass is particular about her food so even when there were more options she almost always wanted lunch from home. Although she used to like their breakfast (especially when it was bagels and cream cheese) because in the pre-Rona days she and M went to the cafeteria and enjoyed breakfast after being dropped off from the bus. It was their special time.

lfig I hope things go well today and you can go into the weekend without feeling such a rush of craziness. I hate those times when it feels hard to stay afloat.

Shes so cute and that is a great picture tgrimes! inthekitty glad to hear C did better last night, hopefully you are on the downhill side of things! I'm feeling so much better today, so back at the office. I was sitting with someone for training, and to give me something to do, this morning and now one of our new project managers has butt in. Girl has been here 2 weeks...I've been here 2 month. I need something to do, dammit!

Our district did free lunches this year as well. Evie likes about 4 things in the rotating menu, so she might each school lunch 1 day a week, the other day, I pack her lunch. She has gone from an uncountable, to salads. Not sure where the salad idea came from, but at least she's eating healthy.

My appointment went great; Ted was my 70 year old pharmacist who belted HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOON to me as he pulled up my records, telling me that his birthday is on May 11th and we shared how May birthdays are the best, we shared big masked smiles and he knew I took a deep breath of relief when he asked if I was ready! Love him, obvi he is my new favourite person.

I’m going out to dinner, inside a restaurant for the first time since January 2020. I hope I remember how that works. I had big plans to Uber and drink a lot but I have been fighting a migraine all day so I’ll just drive and sip a wine. Meeting up with the moms from DS’s team.

3 boxes of mini doughnuts and what do they do? Give them directly to Cadence's teacher. They were for ALL the teachers, that's why I sent it to "school name teachers". They went to the trouble of looking up Cadence's name to see what teacher she has and gave them to her. Why would they think I thought 1 woman could eat 48 damn doughnuts? So she put 1 box in the teachers area, kept a box for herself, and passed out the 3rd box to the kids in class. None of whom are my child because she's sitting at home watching kids eat doughnuts her mother bought. 🤦

Just out of curiosity what kind of meals are they serving? I hat the school lunch program here. They only do 4 days. Monday: McDonald’s happy meals Tuesday: Taco Bell Wednesday: Little Caesar’s Thursday: no lunch choice, must pack Friday: grilled hot dogs with chips and juice We only sign L up for Pizza and hot dog days. I find it funny that I have to sign a paper each year saying I will pack a nutritional lunch but that’s what they serve

Hey. My mouth is still sore but less so than yesterday. Eating is not fun. H’s school has had free lunches all year too. I make her get hot lunch most days but if it’s something she really doesn’t like then DH packs her a sandwich. inthekitty I hope the rest of the day went well for C.

Cass had a good day. She's walking around and still has some joint stiffness and pain, but nothing like the previous days. Praise be. I'm so relieved.

I would maybe not be as head tilty it if I didn’t have to sign something saying I would provide a healthy lunch. To be fair, my kids' school doesn't serve amazingly nutritious food, but there are some fresh fruits and veggies and no signing a form that the food from home will be nutritious.
