I was part of generation X for awhile... I think. If generation X were those that graduated college in the early nineties. Then generation Y came along, not sure what age defined that group... and before I had a chance to figure that out, I turned forty. This blog is about me, and what I'm doing in my forties, working, parenting, embracing the moments of generationforty.

Packed lunch for mom
My mom was returning to her home today after a weekend visit with us. I was making lunch for my girls and added an extra sandwich to the assembly line. There's a lot to be said for having kids be responsible for their own lunches, but here's what I have to say about making them myself: I like to do it. I feel appreciated and I feel privileged. As long as I can make the time, I'll make the sandwiches. So when making a sandwich for my 80 year old mom today, I felt like the circle completed. She'd done it for me and my siblings for years, now I had the chance to do it for her. I guess my prayer is that I live to see the day when my kids pack my lunch, along side those of their kids. PBandJ would be just fine, thank you!
