Once upon a time, I thought I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. I love kids and school, so it seemed like an obvious way to go when I was in college. I started the whole teaching path, and did my rounds as a substitute and part-time para. It didn’t take a full year before a realized a surprising truth: I only love kids in small doses. Here’s a few other things that are only good in small doses.

1. Ice Cream. “I certainly would like to eat Braum’s French Chocolate Almond Ice Cream three times a day, but I don’t know how much I’d enjoy being 352 pounds.” -Zig Ziglar
   

   All she’s missing is a big red nose.

2. In Laws. No kidding.
3. Perfume/Cologne. Someone really needs to tell this to a certain young male co-worker of mine. Ahem.
4. Parent-Teacher Activities. I like being active in my kids’ school, but some of us have lives outside of bake sales and conferences.
5. The News. Being informed is one thing, getting caught up with all the nasty stuff in the world is something else.
6. Rollercoasters. We wait two hours for a seven minute ride because that’s the ideal ratio to prevent throwing up.
7. Fancy Desserts. To include Creme Brulee, Tiramisu, and all sorts of mousses. If you disagree see my post on Skittles.
8. Muscles. (Don’t tell my husband though, he’s on “not enough” end.)
9. Makeup. I can’t tell you how many clown faced young ladies I see hiding their real beauty. It’s gross.
10. Technology. Maybe it’s ironic that I write this on the computer, but go out an get some sunlight people. Sun is a big deal for your health!

Anything I miss?
