The thing about sugar…

…is that, for all that it’s not all that great for you in large quantities, it does tend to perk you up and help you feel awake. I’ve noticed a sharp increase in my sugar intake lately, so I’m trying to curb it, but right now, in the withdrawal stage, I feel like I’m about to fall to the floor and take a very impromptu nap. Need protein now to help stave off the urge to head to the kitchen and feed the sugar monster. I might start eating bean dip with a spoon.

Today feels like I’m flying by the seat of my pants. Sam’s violin teacher called last night to see if we could squeeze in an extra lesson today to make up for the one he missed last week due to the canceled school days. I’ll have to cart Gabe along for that. I’m supposed to go out for dinner with a bunch of gals from the family club tonight, but lots of them have canceled, leaving me with a couple of women I’m not sure that I’ve actually ever met in person. So there’s that, but there’s also a possibility that a work-related emergency will arise, and I’ve already told Eric that if that happens, I’ll step back from my night out with no hard feelings. I truly won’t resent that, but it is rather unsettling to not have any sure idea about whether or not I’m going out tonight.

Oh, well. It’s not as though the days that I feel as though I have everything together and am ready for anything outnumber the opposite.

Taught Gabe “On Top of Spaghetti” today. He had it learned by our third or fourth time through. Then he sang it back to me. “Did I do it right?” he asked. “Did I get the experience right?” Um, sure.
