The best way to chronicle my slow descent into madness on this day that I would rather not remember is to list what I ate, and where, in order:

• 2 cups of strong coffee – home after rising at 5:30 to see husband off
• 1 large cafe au lait – in a cafe while meeting with a School Committee member about Special Education transportation contracts and budget
• 1 slice of whole wheat toast with cream cheese and smoked salmon – home after picking up sick kid
• 1 bottle sparkling water – car
• 2 large white chocolate macadamia nut cookies – parking lot of Whole Foods after another kid has a panic attack in the coffee section of the store
• 1/2 of a pulled pork sandwich on a white roll – standing in kitchen at home
• three bites of buffalo chicken pizza – dining room with sick kid who thought that this kind of pizza would taste good
• the rest of the buffalo chicken off of the slice of pizza – dining room
• 1 large white chocolate macadamia nut cookie – in front of computer
• 6 ounces of green olives with garlic and lemon – in kitchen while making a burger for kid who would not eat anything from Whole Foods
• 1 bottle sparkling water – in bed.
