I guess I didn’t learn my lesson at Christmas. I went to a margarita party last night. While drinking and playing Apples to Apples, I ate. I ate, and I ate, and I ate. My munchies included peanut butter M&M cookies, honey roasted peanuts, cashews, almonds, and a pumpkin dip. Of course most of these items are NOT low carb. The nuts would have been ok had I eaten them in moderation a little more. This was all on top of several margaritas. I woke up at 4 this morning with gut ache. I actually brought a bucket into the bedroom I thought I was going to be sick. Guess I learned my lesson this time. My body can’t do the sugars like it used to. This is a good thing. It will help me from reverting to my old habits.
The kids are doing well. They are both having to adjust to me working more. I am currently starting an 8 day stretch of work, no days off. Friday was day 1. Tuesday and Thursday I will have the mornings with them. Well, Laura more than Warren since he will still have his morning nap. They are each showing in their own ways that they are missing me. Laura is super cuddly when I get home. She just wants to sit on my lap. Warren is being goofy and wanting to show me everything and be the center of attention. The hardest part is when they are competing for my attention. I start to lose my patience then. It is a cycle. They fight for my attention, which causes chaos in the house. I really look forward to work so I can get away from it. Working causes fighting for attention. I know in 2 weeks things will settle down again. We just have to make it until February 4.
I am enjoying work for the most part. The students are a struggle right now since they aren’t signing up for the hours to work. This leaves us short handed and stressed out. I know technically it is Jacky’s problem since she is manager. However, we are sharing a lot of the duties. I feel that as assistant manager that it is my duty to be there to help cover things and keep everything running smoothly. It will be interesting to see how the semester progresses. Right now it looks like we may lose 2 students soon, one based on attendance issues and another due to not working much at all. Thankfully I am leaving that part up to Jacky as to how to handle things. I will just be the support and back up she needs.
I had more to say tonight, but my head is pounding and my eyelids are getting very heavy. It is time for me to call it a day. Tomorrow morning we have Sunday school and church. Then I am working 1-8. Time to get some rest while I can!
