The Very Hungry Preschool Teacher

So recently I've been going through a lot of some medical things, and my digestive system has been whacked out. Normally I wouldn't complain about not having any appetite, but given that I've had an abnormal amount of stress and I'm prone to ulcers (the first one coming after I got married, quit my job, dropped out of college and moved 400 miles while driving a U-Haul truck all by myself from Jacksonville to Atlanta, all within the space of three days) and hate vomitting in general (thank you six months of day-and-night "morning" sickness times two pregnancies), it's just been easier not to eat than to deal with the effects of eating later on.

Now that I'm enjoying better living through chemicals, my appetite is returning. With a vengeance. In fact, I'm STARVING right now, even though in the past three hours I've eaten a Turkey and Cheddar Cheese Lunchable, a small bag of cheetos, a chocolate donut and some leftover lasagna, along with a 12 oz Pepsi and lots of water. And still all I can think about is "WHAT AM I GOING TO EAT FOR DINNER AND HOW SOON CAN I START EATING IT??!?!?!?!?" (Right now it's a toss-up between Popeye's Chicken- for which I have a very good coupon- or Hawaiian Haystacks. Each are immensly enjoyable in their own way. Decisions, decisions.)

I just took a break to eat an apple. It wasn't as satisfying as Hawaiian Haystacks or Popeye's Chicken will be, I can assure you.

I feel like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, eating my way through the week. But then again, the caterpillar eventually turned into a beautiful butterfly. Maybe I'm just building up the energy to burst out of my own little cocoon and turn into something more beautiful.

Hello Internet Peeps

Other than the annoucement that Tim Tams would be sold in the US again, nothing has been happening around here. Well, school has started again, but I can't say that 'excited' is the word I would use to describe that event. I like the lazy days of summer (and fall and winter and spring, for that matter!). I like doing things with the girls, and I can't say that I'm happy when they go merrily on their way at the beginning of every school year. But times marches on, even if I'm kicking and screaming the whole way.







School started for me, a well. I have a bigger class this year which means I have to make a few adjustments, and I also have a new aide for the year (my former aide's son is in my class this year, so we've been split up for the time being). My new aide is very nice, but it's always an adjustment working with someone new.

Other than that, life is plugging along in the Tree Fort. What's new with you?

Oh Happy Day!!!!

TIM TAM COOKIES ARE COMING BACK TO THE US!!!!

Have Blogger's Ennui. Be back soon.
