Forgetting to eat
Especially you moms out there--do you ever forget to eat? I guess since this end of the school year lunacy has made me try to cram 40 hours of work into a 24 hour day, it slips (what's left of) my mind. Sure, I eat one of those cottage cheese/fruit combos every morning, even when my kids turn up their noses, make gagging sounds, and make the point that it looks alot like still steamy cat vomit. And then there's my Diet Coke. But something happens between breakfast and dinner. I think it's a time warp thing happening but I wouldn't know since Einstein and Carl Sagan aren't readily available to answer that question. Around four or so, I feel the only thing touching the back of my spine is the three inch layer of fat that has become my stomach. The churning noses are loud enough to irritate the neighbors, let alone my own family. At times, I resort to some animal crackers or Wheat Thins, only to be admonished for "spoiling my dinner." Course I make up for it on the weekends by grazing continuously from sunup to way past sundown. Not exactly the health habits I teach my family and patients, but, heck, what's a mom to do? Does Diet Coke count as lunch, guys?
Have a memorable Memorial Day Weekend
