The grass is always greener...

At the beginning of the school year Danica was taking a sack lunch to school.  She kept asking to be able to get a hot lunch.(over and over and over!)  Well then she switched to hot lunch and now begs to be able to take a sack lunch.  (Way more effort on my part so I decline.)  Her half birthday was a couple days ago and as a special "treat" I packed her a sack lunch.  I love that something like that is exciting to a six and a half year old. (I can't believe I have a 6.5 year old!!)  Anyhow the next day I pick her up at the bus stop and she was excitedly telling me that she took a sack lunch. She packed it herself.  I get a feeling of dread and ask her what she took.  She starts by telling me "a cookie" (fears confirmed) but then she said she took a sandwich and water. Phew!  I was afraid she was going to start listing off a bunch of junk and I would look like a terrible mother for "sending" that lunch with her.
And why am I blogging about Danica's lunch even though I haven't blogged for over a month?  Nothing is going on!!!  Well, our car is having issues but hopefully I can post in a couple weeks about my handy hubby having fixed it himself.  Cross your fingers!
