Too much of a good thing?

I have been having trouble getting my boys to take food to school. So in a salute to QA programmes everywhere, I gave them a survey to complete.

Most of the answers came back as "never".
Hmm. I phoned their sister, who's at uni 4 hours away, and read her the list. She said she'd like to tick everything on the list, and just rotate through the offerings, thank you.

So, what' s with the boys? Not esp. fussy eaters at home, although No. 3 doesn't do butter or cheese. No. 2 has a "social" Maccas habit, it seems, so going without lunch isn't bothering him, although that is bothering me. But No. 3 is just fasting all day, running in the door after school, making a drink or some instant noodles, and then rushing off on his bike until dark.

Some funny priorities are at work here. I mean, I get it that they're not "foodies", and that doesn't bother me. When I've got stuff I want to do and the freedom to do it, I'm sure not thinking about food, except that I have to remember to feed the children. *sigh* Back to revision of the menu, I suppose. I don't give up easily.

BTW, I realise this is not a very auspicious return to blogging after a >6 month absence. But, as the Tombliboos say, that's how it goes. Not that I haven't had many blog-worthy things to write about, but just don't have the free time to think and type it into Blogger.
So, sorry. To those who keep blogging, and I keep reading your daily mental workout, I applaud your efforts, like an appreciative crowd applauding as the elite athletes run past in a road race. I am inspired to go for a mental "jog" after visiting your sites. Keep well.
