Snow Day Dilemma

Anyone seen the roads? I think that they have been misplaced under this large amount of white stuff. Ugh.

I sit here, home from work early and most likely will be home again tomorrow. I enjoy a day off as much as the next teacher, although, this snow day a week pattern we've got going is soon going to start cramping my summer. Lame.

Being home is sweet, to a point. But here's my issue with it. I want to eat. A LOT. BADLY. In my (hopefully) past days as an overeater, I would stop at the grocery store on my way home before the snow hit and fill a cart or basket with some snow day staples. Frozen pizza, Cheetos Twists, Ben and Jerry's, and candy- for me. For Patrick, I would buy a Pepperidge Farm triple layer cake. It was his present for snow blowing. Over the course of being home, I would munch and snack away, my eating hand in constant reach of some unhealthy (but wicked delicious) snow day snacks. Eesh.

So I went to the grocery store yesterday to do some general shopping and it was soooooo hard not to buy my wonderful snacks. I walked right past the Cheetos to pick up some Baked Lay's for Patrick. I did not stop to choose between Phish Food or Mint Cookie ice cream while picking up yogurt and bread. I skipped the pizza aisle completely and maneuvered past the candy when I was getting soda. My sad looking cart contained fruits and veggies instead of chips and ice cream. :0(

When I got home today I grabbed a bag of sliced apples instead of the Cheetos that normally would have rested on my counter. It took ALL I had not to stop at Hannaford on my way home from school and not hungrily grab what I wanted. This extra time home is killer on my cravings.

I HATE snow.
