I asked him s he wanted any... he said, "I'd thought about it, but I'm really not hungry". I was bummed... but I thanked him later. It helps when I hear his reasoning for not eating sweets. Very simply... he wasn't hungry! I didn't follow his example and not have any. I didn't want it for hunger... it was just to numb out. Later.... I had to put the brownies away. I need them out ofsight. I've been snitching some every time I pass by. Sometimes I feel so empty inside... and food "fills" that void. But not today... I put them away. Later again... Okay... I"m really tired of playing referee! Is it reallyinevitable that kids won't share and always want the same toy? Ahhh.... Actually... its really not that bad. But when my house doesn't feel peaceful I run to thekitchen. I'm getting hungry; I think it's actually mystomach. I just need to make the right choice...it's been so long since I've listened to my hunger cues. Sample School Journal January 12, 2012 Today I started my research on Lewis Carroll for our Author’s Research Paper. I’m glad I chose Lewis Carroll, because Alice in Wonderland has always been one of my favorite books. I’m excited to learn more about him as I do more research. To start off, I had no idea that his real name is Charles Dodgson and that he was also a photographer, mathematician, and a deacon! I learned that he comes from a family of clergy, so I guess it would make sense for him to think about going into the Church. I could imagine that his family was a bit strict, so I bet him wanting to be a writer wasn’t so welcome. I wonder what it would be like for me, if I came from a family who all wanted me to go into a certain profession, but I wanted to do something completely different. I can’t wait to find out more about what made Lewis Carroll want to write and what inspired him to create Alice.
