Hungry

Before I go to work I always make sure I have a good breakfast. I tend to have low blood sugar issues, and I may pass out or get really shaky etc. if I don't eat well throughout the day. I also make sure and pack a decent lunch each day.
I also love to eat really healthy foods; good colors, good variety, and good tastes. I like to take fruits, veggies, and grains. Same thing at breakfast, I usually have a good source of grain to give me some good energy and a piece of fruit and skim milk.
Because skim is the best.
End of story. :)
So this morning, I decided to make a salad for lunch. I washed and cut some good, green lettuce from the fridge. I picked out the biggest tomato, and diced it up. I found some shredded carrots and purple cabbage. In the pantry I discovered a box of croutons, and on the counter was the last avocado. I threw in half of a green pepper and I was getting hungry already. I sprinkled some cheese on the top and poured some dressing in a separate container for later.
After packing the rest of my lunch up, I grabbed my water bottle from the fridge and I was out the door.
I started my day off as usual, and all was well.
In our classroom today however, there were three teachers instead of the usual two. So we were able to give each other lunch breaks. My first co-worker started off to her lunch break at 12:30.
An hour later when she came back, my other co-worker went on her lunch break.
I was getting hungry.
Weird fact about me: I don't like eating in front of people unless I know you really well. I just don't. And I don't like talking about food. I just don't. Write about it? (Well obviously I'm ok with it with the looks of this post.) Just don't bring it up. First date going out to eat? May not be a good idea.
So as I clean up the children's lunch with my co-worker, that salad is on my mind. I was getting a little shaky and I couldn't wait for my other co-worker to come back. Two hours felt like eternity.
At 2:30 she was in, and at 2:30 I was out.
In the break room I finally whipped out my lunch. The room was pretty full of several of my other co-workers also conversing and eating lunch.
I pulled out my salad and poured the dressing on top nervously. I began to stir my dressing in, and with the mixed feelings of being shaky because of hunger, and being nervous around my co-workers (which is silly) my plastic fork did not last long.
*snap*
Dang it.
I think I have a granola bar in here somewhere...
