OK, so I don't usually end up eating my lunch until 12:10 or 12:15, but I am definitely up from my desk at the stroke of noon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The furniture looks great, sarameg! I have some adirondack chairs I thought about painting this weekend (plastic, but they're comfy and I wanted them to be another color). Then the yearly pollen fest happened, so painting won't for a week or three. So I was essentially taskless today. Woe.

I'm more a "12:30 or 1" and "7 or 7:30" lunch/dinner gal. But I"m also not a morning person, so it's not like my roommate who eats breakfast at 6AM.

I'm a breakfast by 8, Lunch at 11:50, Dinner by 5:00 kind of person. But I also get my kids into bed by 7:30.
Holy hell, the twins were on a bender today. It was not a good day to take small people on the yarn crawl with me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ideally, I would eat breakfast at 6am and have a snack at 10 and lunch around 1 or 2 and dinner about 6pm. That rarely actually happens.

My issue is that I often don't have lunch (my lunch break is 35 minutes -- by the time I get students out and to be back in my room it's closer to 20 minutes) so at 3:00 I am famished.

Oh, that is no good.
I can take my lunch whenever I like, I am just indecisive about it. Also torn between wanting to eat at the same time every day and shifting everything earlier on the days I start working earlier.

I eat ridiculously early in the AM. But I feel like I do everything ridiculously early -- workout, get iced tea, buy gas. All before 6:00 AM.

I often skip dinner and eat lunch anywhere between 12 and 2. I am really not great about routine. it's been one of my biggest struggles as a parents and low-level employee.

I usually don't eat dinner until after swim, which is 7/7:30 (which I really don't want to talk about tonight. Felt fine but personal worst ever.) Even on weekends, where I'm home by 6:30, I don't. Breakfast, I don't really do, but start snacking around 4 hours after I get up. Try to eat something protein-y or at least stomach-tiding after noon sometime, then generally fruit snacking until I swim.
Trying to do better snacks. This winter, with less fruit from the market (I got tired of apples this year) it's been a struggle. For a while, I was doing plain greek yogurt with various jams and stuff, but the dairy was making me way too snotty. Clementines and bananas aren't filling enough and I was overdoing granola bars and puffed flavored corn and rice things. I swapped for carrots (crunch seems to be a crucial factor for me) and got a mess of hummus and a spinach and kale yogurt dip I like, so we're gonna work on that. It wasn't that it was total crap, it just wasn't holding me and adding some digestive excitement I could do without.
Devi's swelling is worse today (the puffiness extends to the inner top eyelid, changing the shape of her eye,) but she's oblivious to it. And snorts like a pig all the time. Her eating is SO noisy. As Maria told me last night, she's probably going to hang on out of sheer bitchiness.
