Back From My Hiatus?

Hmmm. Seems like forever since I last posted. I've been busy, but mostly busy being stressed, hiding from life and eating. Haven't been too busy for that! Over the last few weeks it fee;s like I've been living day to day, waiting for something to break. But, what?

Work is busy but I'm not really giving it my all. Between late payrolls, spotty communication from the owner, high staff absence and now a new student with lots of special needs, I've been just getting through each day. Haven't been taking daily observation notes, it's been a month since I've written a newsletter, and I haven't done any paperwork in the Office. Haven't made good on my resolution to start reading up on Child Development either.

Once the day is over, I barely have the energy or the impetus to do any more than stumble home, watch TV and eat. And hooo boy, have I eaten. I'm scared to get back on that scale and see how much damage I've done. All the compliments I had been receiving have slowly died off and my jeans are a little snugger.

Still, I remain optimistic that I slipped but regained my balance. Started off today with a vow to drink more water, and I've managed to get in 8 glasses. Tracked my eating too, which probably by virtue of tracking was better than usual.

The last few weeks may not have been perfect but that's no excuse to jump completely off the wagon. Game (back) on, baby!

I'm sooo happy to be off for a 4 day weekend. Need to recharge my batteries big time!
