I understand they have 12 Step programs for Candy Crack…

At least you have already done Step #1 (admitting to yourself that you have a problem).

Gotta go now – the chocolate is callin my name, and you know we must all “Respect the Chocolate!”

The office where the 4 of us work is always stocked with m&m’s, Hershey’s kisses, and whatever mini-candy bars were on sale (Mounds, Snickers, Kit-Kats, etc.) I feel it is my duty as a boss to give the troops whatever they need to get through the day. Of course, 3 of us are menopausal, and we all know that chocolate IS the best hormone-replacement therapy around! For the non-menopausal girl (who is young, cute and too nice for her own good), chocolate is her PMS remedy. I figure that whatever the candy costs me I get back 10-fold in productivity and decreased attitude.

Other than occasionally going into hypoglycemic shock and having no access to food, I think the no candy thing is good. Our kids are plenty hyper without it, and it makes school a place where I can avoid gaining twenty pounds (as long as I bring my lunch).

I can quit whenever I want – NOT. I’m totally addicted to caffeine and sugar – and this after having chucked them both for three years before and during pregnancy (glucose intolerance.) Now? All cracked up on coffee and sugar.

When I was in the fourth grade milk in the pint carton was two cents for white and three cents for chocolate, and candy bars were a nickel. I made my brother’s bed every morning in exchange for 8 cents so I could have milk & candy at the afternoon break. My damn brother always had exact change. They didn’t have Coke machines or snack machines in the schools back then. Some little old lady with a hair net had boxes of candy and a metal cash box in front of her and we would select what we wanted and hand her our money. And then after school I would walk the ten miles home in the driving snow – in a dress and shoes with cardboard soles. Sheesh. When did I become my mother?

What teacher went to the principal last week and said: “WE NEED SNACKS! WE HAVE TO HAVE CHOCOLATE TO DEAL WITH THESE KIDS!!!” Oh wait….that would be me! So, I was happy to see all of the snacks today….especially when I walked out of the lounge with some peanut m&m’s. K to the Elly….I would like a big ol’ kiss on the cheek when I feel better and am back to school. Until then I am confined to a house with a man who is TRYING to gain weight (but I seem to be winning).

P.S.
The pink box RULES! And…it’s almost time for “Project Runway!”

A) I promise to send boxes of goodies to keep you from falling asleep on your desk. I will re wrap them to make them look like rat poison packs or something so no one but you will eat them

B) Please become the candy crack whore of the school. The teachers will be so desperate for a fix, they will shower you in money…. that’s gotta be a good thing

C) What the f is triple dog dare?

D) I promise to shower Caffeinated Librarian in adoration forever AMEN…. if I can have one of those bars as well. That sounded yummy. I’ll just have to sniff it til my mouth heals up though. Gee…. do I sound like a crack whore or what? I’ll just sniff it? Dear God someone please help me!

E) Why have they taken the junk food and softdrink (sorry, soda) away from the grown ups as well? Maybe they think you guys might sell it to the kids? Or the kids might riot and storm the teachers lounge?

I am seeing black market type meetings at the boot of Mocha’s car in the near future

my school just moved to a brand new campus, so we’re being really strict about having no food or drinks in classrooms. today, during a break, i was snacking on my granola bar outside the classroom door, and a couple other teachers were discussing problems with a student. i said, “come talk over here – i want to hear what you’re saying but i’m trying to establish food norms!” not being able to drink my coffee in first period is going to be hard, though…
