Make-up....

So... today I am officially 10 days clean of all goodies and treats. Haven't had a ONE! Also I have gone 10 days without any snacking after dinner which is really good too... I have dropped almost 2 pounds! :) That is how many sweets I eat... It's CRAZY! I feel the pull to eat them more and more since I've gotten through the first week. I'd like to go back to where I was and just eat them up as I please.... BUT in the rules I've created I know that I only get ONE sweet this week.. and I'm gonna make it count! :) It's hard though! Yesterday it was ice cream cones. Today it was a BUCKET full of CANDY! Tonight there will be cookies offered... it seems like everywhere I go there are more and more treats handed out! Anyway... so far so good! Still plugging along!

BUT the other reason I'm writing is because today I woke up, looked at the clock to see 7:45 glaring back at me (I'm supposed to be at school at 7:30). I bounced up out of bed screaming..."IS MY CLOCK RIGHT?!?! CRAP! CRAP! I'm SOOOOO LATE!" I rushed to my closet put on some clothes (pretty much the first thing my little fingers could get a hold of). Popped into the bathroom for a quick "up do" (aka pony tail). Then down the stairs and out of the house I flew! Needless to say I had NO make-up on. It's not the first time in my life that I've left the house without make-up... But I try not to do it very often... it gets scary! :) Anyway.... I made it through most of the morning until a kid told me I looked different. Well kids say weird things to you all the time so I didn't think much of it (I had my bangs all pulled back too, which I don't normally do... so I thought it was that). But after lunch my 2nd graders came down for a reading group and they told me I looked SOOOO different... THEN I remembered that I didn't have an OUNCE of make-up on. So I asked "What is so different about me?" "Well, you look younger..." I laughed! THEN LATER I had to go up to a classroom and fill in for a teacher for a moment. Once I got in there one of the kids asked who I was..... I told them "Mrs. White!" Which was them followed by: "Well, I couldn't tell because you look so different!" I couldn't believe it! I know I put make-up on... but I didn't think I put so much on my identity changes when I don't wear it! As I was walking out of the classroom I was told that I look 16! HAHA! What a weird day!
