1272627730 Fed Up With Lunch: The School Lunch Project: Summer plans Summer is just a couple months away. The kids need a break (teachers too). But what am I going to do with the blog? get ready...

I want be a lunch lady and blog about it.

Oh yes. this idea poses some challenges because school will be out of session. I think there will be limited summer school, but I imagine that the full-time lunch room staff who want to work over the summer pick up those shifts. Or maybe there won't be summer school at all since there isn't any money...

So I'll look for jobs as a lunch lady in whatever school I can find, but I'm also going to look for any jobs where I am serving food to children. any cafeteria-style jobs where I'm serving food to kids or young adults. and if I can't get one of those, I'll work in fast food.

Working in food service is not anything new for me. I worked in the dorm cafeteria in college and I was a waitress over the summer. Not to mention that my husband, Mr. Q himself, worked at Mc*Donalds a very long time ago.

But I'm going to work only part-time. this year has been exhausting as you can imagine. Not to mention I'm going to have to sacrifice much deserved family time AND pay for childcare in the summer, which isn't in the budget.

Back to foodservice I'll go. I hope I can find a place where I can wear a uniform; coming home smelling like grease, food, and sweat in my regular clothes in the heat of summer would not be fun.

Here's the big upside: I can pack a lunch!!
