I have been eating sunflower seeds again when I have the salty snack cravings. It seems to really help.

I like them too. I just have to be careful not to eat until I've got a stomach ache which I'll get from them sometimes. I've been buying raw nuts and roasting them myself and seasoning with cayenne, cinnamon, nutmeg, whatever. I mix different kinds depending what the food co-op has in stock in their bulk section.
But if DH buys chips he has to hide them. If they're here I know it!

Have you tried the veggie chips that are out there? I really love the sweet potato, carrot and beet chips.
At least I FEEL like they are better for me.

I have and they are good. The Terra brand with all the different root veggies is a favorite of DH's. I still have to avoid the carbs though. Right now I'm a bit of a macadamia nut addict. Expensive habit!Farmfresh said:Have you tried the veggie chips that are out there? I really love the sweet potato, carrot and beet chips.

The chips made with the root veggies are still full of carbs? That is surprising to me.

The exotic veggie chips have 16g per 1 oz serving. Their au natural potato chips have 15g per 1 oz. Same for the sweet potato. All too high for me.Farmfresh said:

Feel better lil' GDS is much better but buried in make-up work. He has bit she wants tomorrow but the rest she's giving him til Wednesday to do. We have Monday and Tuesday off so she's being really fair. He's still whining, but hey. He didn't have to work all day at school yesterday so this is the price right? None of it is excessive and if he'd brought home his reading work Tuesday like he was supposed to he could have banged that out yesterday during the day.

All the SA apron pieces are in the wash. Does every SA smell the same?? What IS that smell? I may even start ripping and tearing tonight. No where to be 
for ANY of us!!
Long day today. It was a whacky one too. I don't know if the kids have cabin fever, vacation fever, annoyed that we don't have a full week off next week fever or what. They were surly, rude and made my life miserable today. The best part of the day was getting lost in autismland. There a schedule change in the classroom with the most severely autistic kids so they were all off a bit, or more than a bit. We literally wandered the halls for a bit. One of my seniors was talking away quietly and I got the impression, that at least in his head, he was actually including me in the conversation. I can tell when he has shut me out, and he hadn't. But I wasn't able to follow most of the conversation. I could get him to talk about the field trip he is going on tomorrow. (Rock wall climbing!!) But there was another subject we were discussing that I missed completely.
I left the HS early to pick up DS then had to head to a meeting at the elementary school for my non-verbal Spanish speaking kindergartener. It was with his bilingual speech pathologist, his mom and me. He was there also. DS sat in the hall working on HW. The meeting went well and I was shocked that I followed the entire Spanish conversation with no need for translation and in fact translated the Spanish word for lentils to English for the SLP who is not a native Spanish speaker! I also followed the mom's discussion of why the student's nutritionist doesn't want him eating rice perfectly and added some info for the SLP's benefit. Hey, give me a subject I know and I can follow it in Spanish!! At one point the mom stopped talking to the SLP and was talking directly to me. As I was nodding and agreeing with her it took me a few minutes to realize she hadn't switched to English, she was still speaking Spanish. I have tried to learn but haven't ever succeeded. It has taken being immersed in a K class for 3.5 hours a week to get some of it to stick! I still have no sense of grammar or anything, but vocab, that I can do!
Okay, enough bragging. I have sewing stuff to organize. I am on a decluttering rampage. Just found a book called Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui. The author has a website and blog and it's inspiring me. The Feng Shui part is a little beyond me still but I'm giving it a shot. :bun

Isn't it a great feeling, when you realize you understand the other language and you weren't even trying! Yeah for you! 
And have fun with your sewing. I always wash everything I get from Goodwill.
