I am seriously dreading lunchtime at a job again. This is always the low point of having a job for me- having to pack a lunch. I am seriously UNINSPIRED. I think it has been passed down by my mother who hated packing lunches for three children, herself and her husband for years and years and years while we all lived at home.
Even with her hatred of packing the lunches, she still managed to make homemade bread, cookies and milk the goats for our daily bottle of milk (seriously! fucked, right?). I’m not that kind of lunch maker, not in the slightest.
Before I had a kid and became all eco-conscious (and especially hungry because of being pregnant), my lunches were filled with tubs of yogurt, pudding, and other highly disposable and wasteful products, stuff I don’t want to purchase and throw away any more.
I hate salads, I’m not a fan of sandwiches. If I cook enough food that I think there will be leftovers, Clive just eats it all for supper because he loves to eat! I am not going to have a lot of time to cook food between trying to spend as much time with Ash before bedtime and working full time. I’ve got a meal plan and an accompanying extensive grocery list started, but lunches stump me.
Ideas would be appreciated.
I’m also going to sew my own lunch bag. I haven’t had a lunch bag since I was in junior high school probably, and am thinking of going classic… something similar to these, which I think are cute.
I wonder how much energy I’ll have once I’m working full time? Since I will have to change out of my elastic waistband pants well before 1:30 in the afternoon, I’m thinking my productivity will diminish quite a lot!
