I have so much to say. I guess I've been subconsciously just building up a head of steam like a hormonal pressure cooker until it blew like lima beans onto the ceiling (an obscure reference only my mom will understand). Today I woke up more calm, peaceful, and ready to hit the day.
So, first off – how much do we love the day our period ends? It's awesome on so many levels. First off, no more having to drag out your rattiest pairs of underwear and hoping that they'll maintain hull integrity. Second, no more having to sneak into your purse in front of your class to get your little "friend" to take with you to the bathroom four times every day. And last, but certainly not least, the bonus of losing at least 2 pounds. Greatness.
Next thing – I just love it when something happens to rekindle my enthusiasm for my job. I spent the most valuable 15 minutes of the year today with a fellow teacher who has her proverbial ducks in a row. And here's the thing: it's not as if she invented fire. She's simply doing all of those things that we know how to do, but just lose sight of in all of the craziness. It's inspiring because it's doable. I get on Pinterest and say to myself, "What the hell? That's never gonna happen." She gets on Pinterest and says to herself, "how can I make this happen?" So, the hell with trying to make Pinterest work for me professionally. I'm just going to go to her room and get inspired every couple of weeks.
And finally: if I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of people out there looking at me tonight. I'm not entirely sure I'm thrilled about that. Some posts ago, I mentioned that I might like some company. Now, faced with the reality of that, I'm more thinking that it's like being caught talking to yourself in the mirror. But, since I've managed to keep up a constant stream of dialogue with myself for the past 35 years or so, I suppose it's a little late to worry about that....
Breakfast - Atkins bar
Lunch - Another Atkins bar, after which I felt hungry enough to eat the hide of a rhinoceros
Snack – a cup of coffee, cheese, and broccoli
Dinner - two vodkas and entirely too much Gouda cheese
Exercise – a little bit of BW Booty Shake, until my son couldn't stay in bed and ignore it, and then a little bit of Zumba with Nilesh
P.S. A little shout out to my girls who I'm pretty sure are listening in this evening. I feel human again today, and you're definitely part of the reason. A little Chammak Challo just for you. In the spirit of full disclosure, I think you should know that this movie, RA.One, got panned. But I loved it. And seriously, even if it did suck, look at the guy. Who gives a shit?
