Oops poor kid! Bad mother!

One of the challenges I had set at the start of this was our diet, eat local, eat organic. It is maybe something I need to be giving more time to and let me just confess something awful I did this week that was certainly not a good form of maladjustment!!

Our little girl and I had terrible Mondays. School for both of us was a place of stress and I spent a great deal of time on Tuesday morning preparing us both for facing another day, a new and improved day. It was not until I set my foot on the back door step on return in the evening that it dawned on me I had not made her packed lunch.
I met her with a "Hello, what in the world did you eat for lunch?"
"I ate the sandwich and chocolate bar that you had put in there, silly Mummy!" was the reply.
My heart sank when I realised that she must not have finished Monday's lunch! And today when she refused a ham sandwich saying that the ham I had bought for y'days sandwich had been yeuchy (I had confessed, honest, but she is 5!) it did not make me feel any better! But a 28 hour non refrigerated sandwich must have been bad.
