Once upon a time there was a mommy who wanted to be a better mommy. She was tired of the disorganization and clutter of her life and was sorry that her children seemed to not fit in with the other children because she was organizationally challenged. This mommy struggled with boring repetition in housework, but she excelled in creativity and fun.
She had this tremendously wonderful idea to make sack lunches waaayyy ahead of time, stocked with all the fun things she thought she would have liked to have in her sack lunches.
She also put together outfits for her 3 boys and plastic wrapped them together so that they would always have matching socks, clean underwear and wrinkle free clothes.
Of course, the naughty children scavenged the tasty treats from the lunch bags so that by the end of the month all that was left in the bags were carrots. Really! I am not making this up!
Obviously the lunch bags were not the only scavenge victims, because little boys do NOT want to be told what to wear. Plastic wrap everywhere and lunchbags full of carrots.
The Mommy went back to her old ways of playing games for jobs and the now famous "spelling bee" for jobs.
"Organization", she said "is craaazy!"

Nice. I was just thinking about the lunch bags and what a horrible idea it was as Joey and I were eating the yummy things we bought for Gwen's lunches.
And the plastic wrap is just more work than it's worth.
Also, I HATE games for jobs.
I HATE it.
You never lose.
And neither does Melissa.
It makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.
I was pretty decent at the spelling bee though.
Still not a fair game though.
I did get the "GREAT BRAIN" award in 2nd grade.
I just stumbled upon your blog. way too funny!
