As Benjamin gets himself ready for school, (a very important life skill when one has to be at the bus stop by dawn), mom frets...Janie: "Should I make him a lunch too - I mean I know we prepaid for school lunches but what if something goes wrong - he should have a lunch from home just in case"
Kyle: "I think it will be fine"
Janie: "Are you SURE- something could go wrong"
Kyle: "Don't baby him"
Janie: "Yeah you're right - they won't let a kid go without lunch"
Kyle: Heads to bathroom
Janie: Heads downstairs to make that lunch anyway.

Come on now, breath, hee-hee-hoo. You did this last year, right? Your anxiety will show itself in your kids, don't freak. Second thought, the world needs a few worry warts to make up for the rest of us. Worry about my kids while you're at it so I don't have too. Too birds, one stone. :)
Don't worry, you will get better at this with each kid. No, wait. I am talking to Janie. I take that back -- you will fuss and fret over each and every one of them, coz that's the (wonderful) kind of Mom you are!!
Love ya! A.
You are such a good Mom. I remember when I would pre-pay my kids lunch, and then they decided that they wanted sack lunch, so I would plan & pack their lunch (a lot of wasted food), and then I let them pack what they wanted to eat, and now I pretty much just hand over any cash that I have so they can buy whatever it is that they eat :-}
