I bought cheese puffs today.

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Yes, that is correct. I bought cheese puffs. I am pretty sure that is what I am going to eat for dinner. Today has been a HARD day. I have already consumed the following: half a breakfast burrito (threw the rest out,tasted yucky), one yummy asian salad from Great Harvest, Snickers bar, Cracker Jacks, 2 bowls Apple Jacks (I was going for a theme..foods with “Jacks” somewhere in the name..), and hopefully soon I can add cheese puffs to the list. I am in super stressed eating mode, and seeing how I am supposed to be gaining weight, I am not even feeling bad about my seemingly poor food choices.

There are only 4 kids (all part-time) left in my daycare. I have two children that are older, school aged, and they are so much harder than the smaller kids! I am not sure if it is because older kids already have developed such bad habits by the time I get them, or if older kids just complain more, but these two are wearing me down. There is constant drama, lots of fighting, lots of inappropriate subjects being mentioned, and lots of disrespect. I have tried talking to the mother, and she has spoken to the kids, but honestly there is not much more that can be done. I know I should probably let them go, but sadly I am not independently wealthy and I don’t run this daycare because I just LOVE dealing with other peoples kids. My income has been cut more than half this Summer, so I cannot afford to lose anymore kids.

There is also the added stress that My Sister Rachel has gotten another job (which honestly is great news!!) but that also means I don’t have an Assistant anymore. I am trying to figure out how I am going to get Zane to gymnastics tomorrow while watching 3 kids. I am also trying to schedule doctors appointments, errands and figure out what the heck I am going to do when Rocky gets here! At this rate, I am not going to be able to take any maternity leave! DEEP BREATHS!!! My Wonderful, Amazing, Loving, HOT husband is doing everything he can to make me feel better, and I really do appreciate it. He works so hard, and I am so lucky to have him. I just need to focus on the positives-I bought cheese puffs today!
