Stapleton resident Jessica Boesen has two children attending Isabella Bird in Stapleton. The kids are adjusting to going back to school, and Jessica is enjoying having more time to get things done around the house to try to stay ahead of things as the household manager. The family had a great summer, but it was time for the kids to go back to school. \u201cWhen we get back to school, it definitely gives the kids more structure,\u201d said Bosesen. \u201cDuring the summer, we are so laid back, and the kids stay up to0 late, they aren\u2019t involved in as many activities because of our travels. They also get sick of each other, so getting back to school keeps them from fighting.\u201d Overall, the kids are pretty good about getting ready for school, and don\u2019t need constant motivation. \u201cThey’re good about getting dressed, brushing their teeth, and all that. They like going, so we don\u2019t have issues getting them ready.\u201d Boesen says the biggest difficulty in getting them ready for school is preparing lunches. \u201cEvery day I am stressing about making something they will eat and something that is healthy,\u201d said Boesen. \u201cI also struggle in getting variety<\/a> in there, as they often ask for the same things. Plus, there are really only so many options you can include in the lunch. It gets really challenging. And the worst part is that I still have 328 lunches to make. It’s pretty disheartening.\u201d Jessica says that making the lunches is so aggravating, it\u2019s the main reason she looks forward to the weekends. \u201cI love Saturdays and Sundays,\u201d says Boesen. \u201cHell, I love when they are home sick. Just so I don\u2019t have to pack a damn lunch. Homework I\u2019m fine with. Carting them to practices, I\u2019m fine with. But, lunches are a pain in the ass.\u201d Luckily for Jessica, she only has 328 more to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
