4:45 a.m.

I keep waking up at 4:45 a.m., so now that it is almost 8:00 p.m. at night, I'm ready for bed. Not good. I'm sure I'll build up an endurance. The classroom is always "on" and they don't take snack breaks so it's not good for my eating plan. I'm still down 12 pounds and plan to start day one again on Saturday so I'll have three days at home to figure out how to make it work at school. The other ladies barely eat lunch either and I can't do that. So I'll just have to take 5 minutes to eat the snack when I am supposed to and eat lunch when the kids do. My success with weight loss will be with consistent eating to stimulate the metabolism. It will work, it's just all new right now.

Was headbutted by a 50 pound 6th grader in class the other day. That was different. I'm fine, but he's one you wouldn't want to turn your back on. Interesting for sure. Today same kiddo didn't like his lunch tray so he flung it across the cafeteria. Guess who didn't eat any lunch then. Do you think mom and dad have just allowed that behavior? Supposedly not autistic rather something do do with chromosones. (We go to lunch before the other kids so there was only 6 of us in there at the time.)

Tonight was Back to School Night for Joe so I went to meet the two teachers I hadn't met yet. I think Bookcliff has got a great staff and I think middle school will go well.

Ben's school had an ice cream social, but he didn't want to go. So we didn't.

Ta TA for now.
