Realization Station Vacation

I've realized some things in the past 1.5 weeks...

*I am a wuss when it comes to going out late at night...whether with friends or family. The whole bar situation? A big big failure. Didn't go.
*I can't go more than I'd say a week of doing not much (vacation) without turning into Crabby Carol.
* I am even WORSE if I don't get my workout in over vacation. I feel like my students...I need stability in my life and my workout is that element, much like an agenda in the classroom. If I don't get it I go stir-crazy.
*Ghiradelli (another word that has evidently kicked my butt) brownies are not kidding around. Wowzahs they are good.
*Ice cream is still better than anything in the world.
*Muddy Buddies are also called Puppy Chow but a new name I have never heard is White Trash...not sure how I feel about that. Didn't come from me. 
*Muddy buddies are up there in my top awesomely awesome foods with ice cream and buffalo chicken dip.
*Caution was thrown to the wind during vacation. Brownies, muddy buddies, ice cream, oh my.
*I still despise Polly Pocket. LOVE the girl that wants me to play with Polly and her gals, can't stand Polly and her gals.
*To put my foot down when my precious cherub niece wants to play Polly. Or hide-and-seek. Or play outside.
*Can't seem to NOT feel guilty when I do so.
*Flannel sheets are really hard to find in department stores. And then when you DO find them, they must run out of twin size real quick.
*Jewelry boxes have the potential to be a really good Christmas present.
*A way debt can be paid back slowly but surely? Hand the 100-dollar bill immediately back to your mother when you open it Christmas morning. And return the flannel sheets and jewelry box and give that money back to your mother as well. I swear I didn't have that intention from the beginning. Thank goodness Arabella is understanding and an all-around gem.
*It's hard to vacuum out your car in the winter weather. The metal part gets really cold. 
*I'm a champ because my car is vacuumed anyway.
*Bread machine bread ROCKS.
*I need to trade coffee in for tea. I'll tell you right now, it's not gonna happen. Even though I AM trying to resolute like a resolutin' FOOL.

This doesn't even skim the surface. But I also realize there's no way.
Goodnight.

I disagree...white trash is completely different than puppy chow! You need whir chocolatte for such delectible items.

Oh those brownies are AwESOME.
