Lunch Run
No time to talk, gang. Today, in my free time, I will be taking my son's lunch to school. He left it in the van this morning.
See? More school hours, more "free" time.
I'll be back later. If more trouble doesn't find me first.
Anyone seen my daughter's art smock??

I had one that forgot lunch all through high school. Toward the end of her elementary years we had to set some new rules as I was running to the school 3 times a week. If she forgot, she would go hungry. Period. Her forgetfulness improved over the years, but she still had lapses and I would find the lunch on the counter or in the fridge. Sigh. It can be very frustrating.
Gayla -- When I was a kid, my mother NEVER brought anything we forgot. There was no learning curve. It left me feeling very unsupported by my mother. I'm trying to do like you and help at first, if it's an innocent mistake. Now, if it becomes a way of life, I'll have to turn mean. ;)
Why can't we all just get along? LOL
Who deleted a comment and why?? Oooh, now I'm curious.
“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, ‘In this world, Elwood, you must be...’ - she always called me Elwood - ‘...in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.’ Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.”~Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey
I am a stay-at-home mom who is coming to grips with the fact that my children are growing up, and that is bitter sweet. I have several pets who understand me including a couple dogs, some beautiful pigeons (yes, pigeons), some chickens who boss me around, and a mourning dove who I believe is God's little whisper to me from heaven. I was a lawyer before I got really serious and became a mom. I love to knit, write, cook, and to take good care of my family. We struggle with my daughter's Reactive Attachment Disorder, and hold hands very tightly sometimes while we withstand the high tide of her challenges. Through it all, I am blessed to have a husband who is the corner piece to my puzzle.

Good luck.
