I have this habit of forgetting to eat breakfast. It is not that I don't love to eat, I do. Our mornings get so crazy since I always wait until the last possible minute to get up or get going and I have, unfortunately, trained my children to do the same. So we are always rushing. I do find the time to make a pot of coffee and love, love, love to drink a few cups as we are getting ready and in the car.
Yesterday was no different so as we were rushing I had two or three cups of coffee and no breakfast. Once I got to work, I only had a few minutes to get to our devotion time and then rush to my MAP (Mothers with a Purpose) group. I was late to MAP so I only had time to grab a cup of coffee to satisfy my hunger. Then it was so cold in the room that I grabbed another cup of coffee to warm me up.
As MAP is ending, it is 11:30 and I still hadn't eaten but I had a bag of dark chocolate kisses. I tore into it and probably ate half the bag without even breathing. There, my stomach felt full and off to my tasks of the day. Until...
2:00 pm rolls around and I feel a horrible rumbling in my stomach. Horrible. Awful. Painful. I then realize what happens when you drink 4 or 5 cups of coffee and only eat dark chocolate all day. I won't go into the gory details but it does involve my intimate encounter with a slew of public restrooms.
Chalk this one up to experience. I wouldn't let my kids eat only chocolate all morning so why do I? But I also would not let them squirt the whipped cream in the aerosol can directly into their mouth and I have been doing that daily since last Friday. I think I may need a sugar intervention.
As a side note: Lori Jo Q and I did go to Subway thinking a sandwich might absorb some of the fermenting fudge but the damage had been done. And I don't think the smashed pea and barley soup from CPK and the bites of PA's chocolate souffle cake and Dan's red velvet cake that we had at dinner helped either.
aww how sweet, you mentioned me =) ps im a blogger too ;)
