I have been struggling in the mornings. And the effort put into packed lunches these days shows as much.
I was worried going into this school year that adding Paige into the getting-ready-in-the-morning routine was going to be stressful. I was going from 2 kids needing to be dressed and fed (breakfast) and packed a lunch to three kids needing those things. And it was more stressful, but not too bad.
But a few weeks ago something unexpected happened. Our littlest kiddo started school.
His school bus comes just minutes after the big kids' bus pulls away. Having a 4th child to dress and feed in the morning has pushed me to my breaking point. While Tyler doesn't need to have a packed lunch (his school is only 3 hours long and he's home by noon), the morning hustle and bustle has done me in.

I feel your pain on the morning crunch. kudos for packing healthy and appetizing lunches despite the frantic mornings.
