Food for Thought : Testing Week for Our Area Students

Hello  my  friends .
You may have heard this week is testing week  for our area students . Eating  a healthy breakfast  will help set  you for a day of eating . A healthy breakfast  is important for kids year-round  , but a well-balance breakfast  is especially  important  on tasting days . Children who eat  breakfast  are significantly  less likely to be over weight . School breakfast improves test  results  as well as well as memory  and verbal skills . It may seem  convenient  to grab  prepackaged  foods or go  through a drive-through  , but in the long  run  , these options  will end up costing you  more money  and most likely  do not contribute  to long-term health  goals . Avoid products  that are  made with abundance  of added sugars  and fat . Although  these can provide  immediate energy  , later sugar  and insulin  levels  will fall , creating periods  of extreme  tiredness . Here are a few  tips  to help you and your  child  have a healthy breakfast .
Plan ahead :
When you plan your meals  for the week , make sure  you include breakfast . Many breakfast  options  can be made  ahead  for the week or several days ,
Have  a portable Breakfast :
In Case you are running  late  have a portable breakfast  ready to  go . Portion  out  dry cereal  or chopped fruit  into sandwich bags . Buy  single-serve  yogurt  and fruit  cups  . All of these are  great when  you are in a hurry .
Think outside the box :
Turkey or peanut  butter  sandwiches  make  a good quick breakfast .
 Words Of Wisdom :              
                9 Things I Hate About Everyone
1.            People who point at their wrist asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2.           People who are willing to get off their a** to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.
3.          When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn Right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4.          When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?
5.           When people say while watching a film, "did ya see that?" No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor!
6.           People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"... Didn't give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7.           When something is 'new and improved'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8.            When people say "life is short". What the hell??? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!!! What can you do thats longer?
9.           When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came, would I be standing here?
