my very LAST school lunch EVER!!!!!
YDS never bought a school lunch because of his food allergies. 12 years + 1 for Kindergarten x 180 school days = 2,340 school lunches made with love.
(What the heck is wrong with my eyes this week? They keep watering!! Must be allergies. ;-))

That's awesome!
We're mean. Kids make their own lunch for school.

Awwwwww.
DS loves hot lunch for the chocolate milk. Thank you taxpayers!
I've been slacking on dd's and tossing a Lunchable in hers a lot lately. She usually wants hot lunch when it's tacos and not much else.

That's awesome! We're mean. Kids make their own lunch for school. Meh. Whatever works. Both kids had VERY full schedules in high school so I made the lunches. They also eat enough during the course of the day to put a construction worker to shame. Since they both get hangry, I wanted to make sure they always had enough to eat with them. They both can cook a good variety of foods and I plan on building upon those skills this summer since ODS will be living in a house on campus with a full kitchen next year. (He lost 15 pounds this year because of the limited availability of safe foods in the dining hall/campus pub/local fast food.) |

We still somehow manage to go through 2-3 dozen eggs a week. I eat fried egg, DS makes several omelets a week at 4-5 eggs each and usually I'll make breakfast wraps to freeze for the week and that's 18 eggs.

I love my children dearly. I hate some of this type of minutiae. I don't make their lunches. Hell, I rarely make my own lunch.
I hate going through backpacks and checking homework, being the homework Nazi, and being requested to do school projects with my kids. I already went to school, dammit!! |

I don't remember this being a thing when I was a kid. My mom was never involved in my homework or school projects at all. Now they guilt trip you with emails if they're missing assignments. |

Maybe your kids never miss assignments?  I get emails all the time. They even have automated ones that go out from thinkwave. |

I can't like this post enough! There are 101 electronic ways to contact me, you use them all if the kid is absent or low on lunch money. FFS, stop sending paper notes home with them!!!!! I quit being the homework Nazi ages ago, it's done or not, and if their grades suck they lose electronics. I can't keep stressing both sides out over homework every. single. night. Not worth it. One of the last projects my kid had was a model car. Not a plastic one, either. WTF? Like I want to trek across this very large county to the hobby store and spend $20 or more once you add in supplies? Good thing he could work with a friend, because I wasn't about to buy one. |

Some of you guys are hard core!!
I never made my own lunch until after I got married. My mom was making my lunches well into my 20s.

We're supposed to work with him on his printing though. Dd's missed a few. Not many but a couple. But her homework is about 10-20 minutes a night plus the reading that we've completely flake on doing. |

I'm concealing a considerable amount of ecstatic joy at the impeding prospect of never, ever, again having to deal with a public school and its ridiculous policies and procedures and hidden questionable agendas. I've been pleasant and respectful and played nicely for too long. I'm about to burst. I figure I can let it all out after they call YDS' name at graduation.  |

Wait they are already out of school? What?! Oh, missy, you're so young and so cute. Most high schools in these parts release seniors about a month ahead of the rest of the grades. Today is YDS's last day of classes. He graduates next week. The last school of day for everyone else around here is June 20th. I am under the impression that they do it this way because a)seniors checked out after they paid their tuition deposit on May 1st (and some checked out well before that, LOL), b)the schools have been dealing with this group of kids (and their parents!!) for 13 years and are DONE, c) it gives kids facing outrageous tuition bills a chance to work and earn money for a few more weeks this summer, and, d) all of the above. |
