Hey Peps and all

I had a teaching moment today and the cat collar story reminded me of it. I stopped at the grocery and adorable girls were selling girl scout cookies. About 3rd grade. They were doing such a good job I had to buy a box (she rationalized). I gave the girl a $20 for the six dollar purchase. Then I said "I am also going to also give you a $1 bill, do you know why? She was puzzled but I explained that with the one, she could give me $15 change instead of $14 which would take up their bills. It was fun to see that light go on.

Sorry today was rough on you. Someone probably wrote some PHD dissertation concluding that all kids could do everything and then dumped the conclusions on everyone else. Makes me sad also.

So yeah stress= unhealthy food. Ever had a bad day and come home and binged on broccoli?

Here is a thought: I have always been a person who saves the best for last. The best food on my plate as a kid. Sometimes it meant I was too full to eat that last best stuff but of course I did anyway. I find myself still doing this. In various aspects of life. Anybody else so afflicted? Not sure how I got this way.

Hi everyone, I was pulling into the driveway a little after midnight this morning, and up for work by 6am, but I still have the vacation glow to keep me going. Might need a nap now though. Perhaps more later...

Yay vacation glow

glad u had a good time
