I digress. So, the outfit is all picked out, the backpack is (mostly) packed with fresh school supplies and new gym shoes and clothes, and Madison herself is definitely ready to get back to school.
And I am struggling with the same question I struggle with every year: What to pack her for lunch?
Every year, we start with good intentions and grand plans for her to take her lunch each day so she will have a "real food" meal. Have you seen a school lunch? Worse than gas station food.
As the year progresses, and by progresses, I mean by the second week of school, I am tired of getting up early to make her lunch and she is too pressed for time in the morning to do it herself. So I write a small check for her lunch account, hoping that if I only give her enough for a few days' worth of disgusting tray fare, we will be forced to renew our efforts when the money runs out.
Or write another check...
