Hello all ! Late checking in here. Stressful day yesterday because I let my **** deflector get weak. DH stayed home from work because he hadn't slept well. While he was napping in his recliner, I went about my normal routine... Laundry, dogs, an outdoor painting project, then began to weedwack in preparation for mowing. Now mind you... Lawn companies were blowing and mowing at two neighbors' houses...DH came out highly annoyed that MY weedwacking woke him up. Really !? He was out of sorts all day and really screwed up my routine. I feel a bit ashamed complaining when so many are dealing with deterioration and/or loss of a partner....
Things are back to normal today, and I worked off some stress and found quality think time mowing the lawn (front, back, and side) after I grocery shopped and had my car serviced. At the bottom of my range... Passive aggression ?

Ahoy, from he who is lost at sea this week!
I'm exhausted. I'm lost my cookies over curricular issues at the district level and I should not get my knickers in a twist over such things, but being a man of moderate intelligence, a great deal of teaching experience, and a pretty good darn sense of what helps kids learn, etc... I get overly passionate about stupid things like language arts programs that don't include phonics, word work, spelling, grammar or language mechanics.... Oh, crap.... did I really say that out loud. Guess I did! LOL! (Diane O. the district adopted two methodologies/strategies - Reader's and Writer's Workshops by Calkins. I haven't sipped the KoolAid of Calkins methodologies...even if she is renowned in some education circles.)
I almost feel like I want to believe there is something wrong with me. I caught myself wanting to write, "...what's wrong with me..." in regard to food and eating and choices. So, I think I can rephrase into a rhetorical question that might spur on some self reflection: "What are the hidden obstacles blocking my path to take control of this sugar thing?" Now, that is worth consideration!
Going to lie down a little on the couch before putting a dog on the table.
