Yesterday I got on a scale for the first time since ours broke two months ago and discovered that I have gained 12 pounds since SO moved here last October.   I'm mad at myself.  I  did great all day controlling myself, drank tons of water, and just finished eating a very healthy, all veggie, delicious and lite dinner.  Then SO came out of the kitchen with a package of chocolate chip cookie mix.     Now I want warm chocolate chip cookies with ice cream so badly I'm almost in pain.   Damnitalltohell, I effing live with the devil.

Know what's good for a sweet craving?  Cool Whip.  Yep, I'll eat it straight from it's little plastic tub.  I have no shame.

I agree! Freeze that shit and eat a spoonful. It's soooooo good.

DH went out to dinner with his brother. He's in the middle of tiling our kitchen backsplash so I'm using that as an excuse to order myself a pizza for dinner. Then I'm snuggling down to watch last night's episode of GoT.

They finally listed the house next door on the MLS and I wanted to cry because it's listed for 17% less than we paid for our house in 2009. Granted it has been vacant for over a year so I'm sure it needs work, but it still kind of stings.

I am having a sudden craving for Steak-Umms. We used to eat these all the time growing up. In a pita with ranch dressing. Yum.

I'm a teacher at an urban school that is really struggling/disorganized (like most urban schools, ha!).  I feel like the disciplinarian at my school doesn't take me seriously because I try not to raise my voice/I'm not "old-school" in my behavior management, and I have a rough group of kids this semester who take all of my energy. My classroom is in order most of the time, but today was a rough day because of fights in the hallway that bled over into my classroom.

The disciplinarian made some comments today that I think he meant to be supportive/parental/joking (he's 30 years older than I am), but it just had me wondering if other people think I'm a the Young, White Teacher Who Isn't Supposed To Be in Urban Ed, and I hate that feeling.


Sorry for the novel!

I feel the same way sometimes.

The administration in my school does not support the teachers in any way and have let behavior issues slide by unnoticed or without consequence. I feel like I'm busting my ass to help my 4th graders be mature, respectful, and intelligent, and I'm viewed as someone with little experience (I'm 32 but look 22, so i'm considered to be "new" at this). 

Hope things get better for you!

Thanks.  I'm 24 and in my second year, so I know in the grand scheme I'm just beginning.  And I'm always grateful to learn from people who have been teaching longer than I've been alive, lol.  I know I'm trying as hard as I can, though, and it's just tough to feel like you're not respected.

It's delicious!  But seriously, it's only like 25 calories!

ETA Lol, I just looked in my freezer and double-checked.  Yep, 25 calories per 2 tbsp.

How many calories is that if I eat the whole tub?

And if you really want to get wild and crazy, put a two tablespoons on top of raspberries with a tiny, tiny drizzle of chocolate syrup and a sprinkle of slivered almonds.

I haven't read yet, but this looked like a good place to tell you all that I just finished my fourth glass of wine. Drinky drinky.

And since school didn't work out for me for the summer semester we don't technically need childcare right now. I just worry that she is hardly ever around kids her age unless she is in some sort of childcare.

How old is she? Since you aren't in school could you use the $ and do some Gymboree classes? Are there day camps (maybe just 1/2:days) for a few weeks this summer?

She's 2.

But I'm thinking of signing her up for a couple of classes. I found swim lessons and a dance class (I think it's probably just jumping to music lol) that would still be cheaper than what we were paying.

I just don't want to have to find someone new again. We've only been here 6 months.

600.

Yes, I just did the math.  I'm not sure if it's correct.. There's 3 cups in a tub.  16 tablespoons to a cup.. 48 tablespoons.. 25 calories per 2 tbps so.. 600 calories.  Yep.

That's it!  SO is just going to have to stay home with DS while I go to taekwondo or something bad will happen.

eHarmony?  I just joined last week!

Yes. I was initially rejected, lol. I decided to try again. I would prefer to try that right now instead of match. I have nothing against match, though.

I didn't know you could get rejected from a dating site. What do they judge you on?

Why do people like their own status on FB? It is so weird to me.

That's annoying, ElizabethBennet. I wish I lived closer - I would totally watch D

I've decided to make a decoupage jewelry box since I just have a tree here and I need something to move my paltry amount of jewelry. It will give me something to look forward to/enjoy during this moving hell.

aw thanks. I just worry sometimes that she is not around other kids. We're still very much in the meeting people stage here and so far we haven't met any with kids.

Are you ready for your move?

My most serious ex bf likes every status he puts.  Plus all comments.  Don't know why things didn't work out...

Maybe I will start liking my own comments on here.
