My daughter decided that today was the day I should have lunch with her. I eat lunch with my kids at least once a month (when I have a day off in the middle of the week and work Saturdays), and I have been doing this since I have been working day shifts. I had lunch with the 2 younger kids last week since I had Wednesday off and worked Saturday (the big kid goes to middle school which is quite a bit further away and has lunch at the same time as his sister). I like doing this because I don't feel like I see my kids as much as they deserve.
I feel like I eat lunch with my kids more than most moms. The older the kids are, the less I see moms at lunch. In fact, I don't think I have seen a mom this school year yet. I love my children. However, when she decides that I have to have lunch with her, I feel less excited to do so. (We all know that I am on my way out the door to eat with Noel and Sean right now.)

It's great that you do that. I did that weekly with my kids when they were younger. As they got older, they didn't want me to. It wasn't cool. I miss that. Now that Christopher is home schooled, I get a lot of time with him and Sarah gets off really early on Wednesdays so we have lunch together sometimes. Adam is still too cool for me...sigh
I got the idea from you way back when your kids were at the same school. ;)
