a little like homemade chocolate almond joy balls while on a diet. My nice neighbor brought over a sweet box of homemade-ness this evening. The box of yummies sat on our island for a whole hour while my stomach churned with longing and my mouth watered. I looked at them several times, smelled them, walked away, came back, walked away again, told myself "no", and plopped on the couch. As I sat on the couch just feet away from them, I finally said to Steve, "Okay, bring me one of those chocolate balls." He was very supportive and said, "No, I don't want to see you cave."
Just one.....
You see, I have started a new diet and have been doing great for 4 whole days. I knew in my heart of hearts that I shouldn't eat one. It didn't go with "the plan". But I wanted one SO BAD!!!! So, I ate. It started with one....just a little dabbling, and it was so darn good. But I didn't stop with just one. I ate FIVE.
A lofty comparison I know, but think about it.

There are four of us...2 squirmy boys, one hard working man, and one woman trying not to lose herself in the mist of it all. Structure...can we maintain it amongst the chaos? Oh yes, yes we can!
About Me
- Kathryn
- Why Structured Chaos?? I am a creature of habit. I am a rule follower. I like routine and I'm often thrown for a loop if things don't go as planned. I like structure. But many times my chaos IS my structure! I am married to a student minister, whose schedule is not the norm. I have 2 rowdy boys who love their momma and want so much of me. I am also a first grade teacher who is returning to the classroom this fall. I've got a lot whirling around me and I'm trying to organize my chaos the best I can. This blog is just a glimpse into my world with my boys, my thoughts on life, and sometimes just a place to ramble. We all need an outlet right? Why not make it on the world wide web? Welcome to my Structured Chaos!

so funny! You crack me up! All I've got to say is I hear you sister!!
Don't you have a free day? :)
You gotta have a cheat day. I wouldn't survive on any diet without one. Weight watcheres actually recommends one. So I give my self 24 hours on the weekend to eat whatever I want and I make it count. I go BIG!! Anyway, no one in thier right mind would have passed those up and no one would have just had ONE. Don't be so hard on yourself!!
Great analogy!
