Her teacher must be a new teacher though. In my 18 years of teaching, I have heard many parents complain that their child may eat dinner like there is no tomorrow, so they pack the leftovers for lunch only to find out that it doesn't get touched at all. Kids are funny like that. I think you made a very smart move with having her pack her own lunch. I am not sure what kind of school she goes to, and if they answer to the state or not. Oregon requires child care centers to suppliment food groups that are missing in packed lunches. So, even though your solution is a wonderful one in my opinion, the school may complain after a while of having to suppliment. If it is a child care like center, they are supposed to supply milk, which is one food group that you wouldn't have to worry about in the packing process. The packing lunch story is a great one.

Remember me from highschool? Tell Brad that I say hello... I had to laugh at your daughter packing her lunch. That is so precious. My kids surprise me when I hear them say things like, "Oh mom, can you please buy brussel sprouts?" Uh, okay. I've never made them. I don't know why they like them, but they do so I buy them.

I worry about a song where I lead because everything I do cues the choir in, so I have to do it correctly. None of this is written down either to help me remember! Sometimes I feel dumb doing something that sounds like riffing, but it is actually very rehearsed and I did it a million times in practice. I don't want to be stale, but try to seem fresh! Once I start singing, I am usually totally fine. Something about the singing makes my breathing calm down.

I've even played accompaniment, if you recall. Is it standing in front of a crowd by yourself that worries you or is it the actual singing? I’ve heard you sing a bunch, Ingrid.
