Sometimes, I Just Don't Stack Up

I try to be a good mom.

I'm not the best mom and I'm not the worst mom. I'm somewhere in between. In between those moms that take their children lunches to school and eat with them at least once a week and those other moms that send their little ones to school with $1.75 in their pocket to purchase the tray of yummy school lunch food (while I've done this too).
Courtney and Chloe make their own lunches for school.

Courtney was quick to point out to me recently that this was not what "good mothers" do for their kids.

She went on and on about how the mother of a friend of hers would not only make her daughter special sandwiches with actual lettuce with the lunch meat - but often include sweet little notes in her specially decorated bags. Sometimes, this same mother will make an extra sandwich for anyone that forgets to bring their lunch (*loser mom throws head back and laughs hysterically - bahahahahahaha*).

She also told me of another mother that prepares these little snack bags (chips, juice box, cookies) and keeps them in her car to hand out to the beggars on the corners that hold up signs that they are homeless.

Oh my mom always made sure I either had a lunch (not complete with lettuce on the sandwich but I knew she loved me) or lunch money....either way, you're a great momma!!! You are also a busy momma too!

Make room for me on the Slacker Mom table! My kids get school lunch most days because I'm never prepared enough to pack them one.

This made me laugh out loud. I will be on the sidelines with you when that other "too-much-time-on-her-hands-if-you-ask-me" mother wins the Mother of the Year award!
