Only 6 days left until school starts. I’m starting to slip into the end-of-summer-blues.
I’m not mentally prepared for the early morning rush and the regimented routines and schedules that we have to slip back into.
And I’m dreading the lunchboxes.
My kids have never bought a school lunch. I’ve always felt pretty good about myself for packing 4 fairly well-balanced lunches every day.
That is, until a fb friend posted this on her wall a couple weeks ago.
The title of the link is:
Awesome mom turns son’s lunches into art.
My title would have been a little different.

I would have to get up at 3 a.m. to pull that shit off here.
And what am I supposed to make for the high school sophomore? I suppose with a pretzel rod, some spaghetti, and a fruit roll up I could weave him a mini lacrosse stick. Would drawing some black lines on an orange with a sharpie count for a basketball?
Ugh.
Between this chick and Giada, I’m pretty much ready to kill myself.

I don’t think she is awesome at all. All those sandwiches would get soggy by lunch time, the “art” would probably get jumbled and her kid is probably hungry bc I’ve never met a kid in my life who loved veggies THAT much!
right there with you on all that 😉
Obviously she isn’t concerned with choking hazards as those toothpicks are too sharp!
I’m thinking any kind of bread on top of lettuce would get really gross, and there’s no way any of my kids would eat it then…
I don’t care how she makes the food look…..one of the lunches was paired with mini marshmallows and carrot sticks. GROSS, another had two cookies, half a cracker a cheese stick and broccoli, what the hell kind of lunch is that?
Maureen, I think I might be in love with you 😉
Reading your blog with my 4 year old looking over my shoulder… She saw the lion sandwich and said, “Wow that’s an awesome sandwich!” To which I replied “Yeah, but would you eat it?” Her reply, “No way!” Packing lunches is my least favorite part of the day. I haven’t met a mom who enjoys it. I told my SIL last night that if we could come up with a healthy lunchable type thing we would be the dream of mothers everywhere.
I think you are on to something there. A healthy lunchable without all the packaging…
Oh, and it took me about 5 minutes to figure out what SIL stood for… Der…
Here are some more great ideas Susie
