all of these suggestions about water are good ones!! Thanks! I have brought a big bottle with me to school and when it is empty I fill it up at lunch and then again after school for the ride home.

I have to be trained on a bathroom schedule also. Our passing periods between classes are only 2 minutes so by the time one class leaves another is about to come in ! I have to make sure all the art supplies from one class are put away before the bell rings!

Anyone have any influence with anyone at your school? There is one other teacher who has been on a low calorie/low fat plan but I have been talking to him about low carb. He just can't fathom the whole fat is not bad thing though...
