i am not posting this to make you think i am great.
or to make you feel like a bad mom if you don't do this.
i am posting these because i started doing this after reading a post on emily's blog (little momma & co)
she had kept notes her dad had put in her lunchbox when she was a kid.
i saw them and thought "i should do that!"
so i started.
these are a few of talby's lunch box notes.
she packs her own lunch most of the time…
i help her if she is running low on time.
then while she eats breakfast…if i have time….i make a silly little note.
( i wish you could see and hear the morning scene at our house before school…oh my..it's chaos)
she knows i make it but never looks until lunch…she likes the surprise.
just scraps of paper with goofy pictures and notes.
i have some guilt that i didn't do this for lauren's lunches.
but i guess with all those babies at home….i just couldn't get to it.
and that is a bummer to think about.
and i put one in sean's lunch once….
he got in the car after school and the first thing out of his mouth
"mom! don't ever do that again! it was so embarrassing!"
i just cracked up.
i should have known.
scott rarely packed a lunch.
so i did it once.
he said it was funny.
so see…i am not that great…i completely overlooked one child and mortified another.
but i make one of them smile when she is away at school.
and it is so easy.
just passing an idea from one mom to another….
Jo - That reminds me, I need to go out and buy some new sneakers too! But it will definitely take me longer than 3minutes!
Tiffany - That is pretty funny!!
Lori Danelle - my best friend and I do stuff like that all the time! We live on opposites sides of the state and will show up wearing the exact same thing. How does that happen??

Susan - Megan,
Thanks for your link on the side “families needed” about transracial adoption. The video of such a well adjusted young adult and a glimpse into his relationship with his mom blessed my day. Have a great weekend.

adrienneK - lol great minds!!!
Christina - That is funny, and cute. There’s something so sweet, and great about a friend who is so like-minded. From big to little things.
Pineapple Princess - I like ’em too! 🙂
Lee Ann - I’m still stuck back on the part where you picked a pair of shoes in three minutes………I could never do that! 🙂
Amnah - That happens to me and my sister all the time. She lives in WA, I’m in Cali. I’ll start describing what I bought and she’ll tell me that she just bought the same exact thing.
Kate - That’s the beauty of true friendship–you are lucky to have that!
Val Russell - It only took you 3 minutes to pick out shoes?! Good job you! I have to try on like 17 pairs before I am close to deciding.
Staci - Love it!
pve - do do doo doo, must have been the planets or an alien —made you do that. eery.

Ashley - My best friend and I do that all the time. Years ago, we were living several states apart and I called her to tell her that I had gotten a new purse and she laughed and said that she had gotten one too. When we got together several months later we discovered that we had bought the same purse AND the same wallet! We laughed and laughed!
carissa... brown eyed fox - the best kind of coinkidink!
