picky, picky, picky

I have a lunch meeting tomorrow, and I don't work closely enough with everyone involved to know if there are any dietary issues (observant Jews, vegetarians, etc.) so I sent an email asking if anyone had any restrictions. It's only decent of me to do, I think, having been on the starving end of "there's nothing here for me to eat!" myself. I should know better than to offer- I could have just ordered a sandwich tray and let people deal with it themselves. What with somebody being low carb and somebody being low fat and somebody can't tolerate MSG and somebody doesn't like tossed salad... We've only got a limited number of catering options at the office, and I can only do so much, you know? I ordered boxed lunches. One is meatless. Two are ham, two are beef, three are poultry. Pick if off the darned bread if you want to, I don't care anymore. Now all I have to do is make sure I have proper drinks (let's see, I've got caffeine and sugar, caffeine but no sugar, sugar but no caffeine, no sugar and no caffeine, and water. If anyone asks for lemonade for iced tea because they don't like water but they don't want anything fizzy, I'll throw the ice bucket at them.)

Who's Who

    Hubby- aka DH My husband since 1995. He is the head of the band department at a college prep school, and dabbles as a wanna-be pop star.

    The Princess- aka DD. Third grader at the local parochial school. Loves butterlies, sparkly things, the color purple and has recently developed a crush on one of the twins from "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody". Is ready for her teenage years, having already perfected her exasperated sigh and dramatic eye-roll.

    Hoss- aka DS1. Kindergartener and resident spirited child. His aunt likes to call him "the evil genius" because of his penchant for letting a lack of intellectual stimulation lead him into mischief. Likes trucks, sports, building things and burping. His current favorite word is "underwear."

    Lil Joe- aka DS2. Born in 2003. Doesn't say much we can understand, but has mastered the important stuff ("eat!", "Wash hands!", "Want chocolate ones!", "Hockey game!") Likes to push buttons, much to the consternation of whoever is trying to watch a DVD. Firmly refuses to use the potty, despite evidence that he is physically ready to be out of diapers, indicating a level of stubborn that eclipses even that of his parents and siblings.

    Me? I'm the Mama. That's all you need to know.
