A Glass of Wine

I drank a glass (or two) of wine tonight. A beer just wasn't going to cut it tonight after the day I've had.

I ate so well all day long, until, once again, just after class. Once again, I was hungry and my veggies, fruit and cheese sticks I packed just weren't going to cut it. I ate a cheeseburger and small fries from McDevils again. And, once again, I will not lie, it tasted so good. And, before you chastise me, I still had 19 points for the day. I eat so well during the day, I eat nice low point foods, and when I am home, I eat a nice evening meal that satisfies. I packed a sandwich which I ate before class, and I snacked on fruit and veggies during class, but at 10:00 it wasn't enough. These late nights are getting hard, it's only after class at 1030 at night, do I get hungry. And then I fall into the trap of McDonald's. I must boast though....After eating that meal, I still had 7 points left for the day, thus the wine.

Why the glass(es) of wine? I teach for 2 different education institutions, one is disorganized and one is anal-retentive, both frustrating in their own ways. And I had to deal with both today. I think I am getting burned out in teaching and I am feeling the pull of the field again. What to do, what to do?

Tonight, I can't solve that question. I am hoping God will show me my path. All I can do tonight is enjoy the relaxing glass (or two) of wine while sitting on the couch watching Good Eats with Alton Brown.

Good night
