Entry FeedHad to run out to the grocery store, or I wouldn't have had any lunch for Son One tomorrow.
Son One takes the same lunch every day - ham on a bun. With butter. The only variation allowed is ham on a croissant.
At the beginning of the year I tried to be creative. Pasta. Grilled Cheese. Tuna. Turkey. Hummus. Pea Butter and Jam. Chicken Fingers. Butter Chicken. But all he wanted was a ham sandwich on a bun. Then I remembered how I had survived the first few years of school with Peanut Butter and Jam.
He will be fine. Once a month they have pizza day. That seems to be enough variety for him. He is not starving.
Tonight we had no ham or buns in the house. I seem to find myself in this same position every Sunday night. I ran out to the 24 hour Sobey's, because their deli counter is open until 10 pm. Ordered the ham - yes! Then went to the bakery section. THERE WAS ONLY ONE BUN!!!! No croissants, no bagels. Fumbling to get the bag open, I grabbed the last bun before the woman beside me could. VICTORY!
I hope tomorrow as he eats his sandwich, he will appreciate my effort.
Realistically, I know he won't. But I can dream, right?
