literally, I had a McDonald's bag shoved in my face today! Today we were on a field trip to the Crayola Factory, which really wasn't worth the almost two hour drive, and then lunch time came. I had managed to keep so busy I missed all of the MCDOANLDS signs, until half of my counselors got up and left. The smell hit the room before they did and I was intoxicated. My eyes darting around the room trying to find the culprit of this most amazing smell I haven't smelled in forever. "Look what I got for lunch" a counselor threw a bag of greasy fries and burgers right in my face. My mouth was watering, I actually had to pat it with a napkin to keep myself like looking like a fool. Right there before my eyes she poured the contents on to the table and devoured in, I sat watching eating my strawberries and for a couple mins felt complete and utter jealously.
But as the day went out and I had tons of energy to keep up with my kids, I was glad I had my healthier lunch and with-in an hour had forgotten completely that there was even a Mcdonalds right next to me. I ran around with the kids, making sure we got as much done as we could and before I knew it, it was time to go. Packing on the bus sitting across from other counselors I smelled it again and thought maybe I was just have like a reoccurring dream, but not there it was again.
That greasy bag, filled with what use to be my favorite items to binge on. French fries, salty and greasy. A cheeseburger, with the melted cheese and loads of pickles and a 6 piece chicken nugget, complete with honey dipping sauce. I groaned as I thought there was no way I was going to last this bus ride home with out breaking down and asking for her to share. But instead I took out my book, turned my back to the bag-o-grease and read. For almost two hours, I just read, listened to my kids and eventually the smell and temptation went away. Of course on my ride home for work I was tempted as I passed the three I have to pass to get to my sisters house, but I just kept driving. This is the first time EVER that I have turned down something so tempting that was so easy to access. Any other day I would have had it for lunch, and probably grabbed a snack for the bus ride home. Today I was triumph over Mcdoanlds, and right now I feel like I could take on the world :D
