I had thought that with all the knowledge about unhealthy food and fat kids and the food they eat, that at least the lunches in school would be healthy. I was so wrong!!! You can buy such wonderful artery clogging foods like bacon, eggs, cheese for breakfast. For Lunch you can also buy high saturated fat, artery clogging food like cheeseburgers, french fries, chicken nuggests, chicken patties, hamburgers, pepperoni pizza.

They cover their asses by offering an “Awesome Choice Combo” which includes fruit plates, deli sandwiches with fruit, chef salads. That is great, however, the kids have a choice what to buy, and if you put a cheeseburger up next to a fruit salad, which are they going to chose? Well, my daughter is vegetarian so she would “probably” chose the fruit, but since I’m not there to make the choice for her I can’t be 100% sure.

What I think they should do is totaly elmininate the artery clogging, high fat food altogether and just offer the “Awesome Choice Combo” and expand on that menu. How hard can that be? The school should ONLY offer healthy foods, and if the kids want to eat crap, they can bring it themselves.

So needless to say, DD brings her lunch to school. As a special gift for her, I ordered a beautiful bento lunchbox system from Laptop Lunches. She’s a very picky eater and this looks perfect. I can put the right portions of different variety of foods that is well presented and that she will want to eat.

She liked her first day of school. It was a bit of a shock for her, but she wanted to go back the next day. I’m so relieved!!!

I’m happy the new TV season is in full swing. I rarely watch something live, my comcast DVR gets a workout recording 2 shows at once. In addition to my daily Judge Judy fix, these are the shows I’ve watched so far:

Survivor: Plenty of eye candy for the ladies this time!

America’s Next Top Model: I had to mute a lot of the show, it seemed like all the girls had to scream all the time. Why do women do that? Hopefully once they start working and reality sets in, most of them won’t be so immature and dippy. This model, Anchal, is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She’s simply stunning!!!!

CSI (Las Vegas): The first show was really good! I’m still in shock that Catherine was raped, and that she had the courage to collect evidence before showering.

’till Death: It had promise, but I didn’t like it. It had a few good lines, but in the end it was a typical sitcom that I just can’t get into watching.

Jerico: I watched this last night On Demand (no commericals with On Demand!!) on the advice of DH, and I really liked the show. It’s interesting, and has a “Lost” like feel to it. I’ll keep watching it to see what’s next!

Supernanny: Yay, Jo’s back! Though my AP parenting practices and her practices clash at time, usually the situation in the homes is so bad that it needs to be fixed. She doesn’t hit or yell, and I’ve used a few things she’s done on my kids too. I didn’t like last weeks episode with the 2 year old. 2 is still a baby and you need to be flexible.

Nanny 911: Other then the lame intro to the show, I love all the nanny’s.

Wife Swap: Why must they portray homeschoolers like backwood rednecks all the time? I like this show, even though its predictable. I like seeing how other people live their lives. The pirate episode was dumb though.

Biggest Loser: All excited to see 50 people representing their states, only to watch all but 14 get sent home in the first 10 minutes. Wft?

Stuido 60: All they hype made me watch it. I didn’t like the show at all. Watched maybe 20 minutes and deleted it.

Amazing Race: The show lost me for a few seasons, but I like it this time around, and I wish I could be on it!!!

Law and Order: They have them on the same night and back to back now. But my DVR refused to tape the first one, so I only got to watch the 2nd one. I like this show. I sometimes don’t like my DVR.
