The other day I forgot my eldest had a field trip and needed a throw away lunch. Instead, I allowed her to stay home and sleep a little bit longer since we had been out late the evening before and made her a delicious hot lunch- placed in our best Stanley thermos.

So when I got the call that the bus would be leaving within the next 10 minutes as my sweet girl slept, I had no choice but to jar her from her sleep to make it to school in time. And, with no time to repack the lunches my child grabbed a yogurt- not even 8 oz. and no ice bag. She had gone from pasta primavera with salad and dressing to expired Dannon vanilla yogurt and spoon.

The good news is she didn’t kill me too much when she got home from school- due to her pounding migraine from lack of food and hydration.
