To the Teachers...

It is that inevitable time of year.  High stress, long hours, and beautiful loving children adorning your desk with homemade goodies.  Make a plan so you can stay on plan!

Ugh so true! Teacher appreciation week was the week after para appreciation week... lol... so there were lots of goodies at work. I'm lucky I made it out without gaining weight!

Haha..so true.

I am avoiding report cards by going to the gym this morning. I figure it will relieve some stress and keep me from munching in my hubby's snack drawer. I'm lucky, my families are VERY aware of my weight loss and have really eliminated sending in food treats. Unfortunately, they are likely to replace it with liquor store gift cards but I always have lots of friends visiting I can use those on!

Congrats on another year almost complete! :-)

You get liquor?  OMG, lol!!!  We did have one teacher in my building recieve lingerie once- from a third grader.  Ewwwwwww!  My kids during my weight loss phase also switched for the most part from baked goods to coffee, tea, and gift cards.  They were so incredibly thoughtful.  Now that year I had my principal's daughter in my class, and she brought in a dozen of her mom's monster cookies- best damn cookies in the state of Michigan.  Thank goodness I could stay out of them, and my daughter enjoyed every morsel.  

I would like to thank all teachers for the hard work they do. Treats are good, but not to many, enjoy.

My plan was, when I received something from the kids, I made a trip to the teacher's lunchroom and conveniently left the goodies there. I made sure that they got out of my classroom ASAP.

That  is a great idea.  Last year as a 5th grade teacher I had a great plan for all of the birthday treats that came in, but ended up taking home the sweets I did received.  This year as a specials teacher I will give all of that to my middle school volunteers.
