21 of 30 Chips

What is it about eating chips,
That makes me want to do flips?
They're crunchy and good.
Taste just like they should.
Even better when accompanied by dips.
I wish someone would take them away.
I eat way too many every day.
Once I eat one,
I can't stop the fun.
My stomachache surely will stay.
I can eat them until they are gone.
'Til my stomach cries out something's wrong.
I should've stopped before now,
But I didn't know how,
In my pantry they no longer belong!

    So-at least they're gone! Funny, & it is hard to quit eating when it's something you think is bad for you. Love that "I wish someone would taken them away."

Today I'm joining a  Slice of Life  hosted by Two Writing Teachers.  Stop by for links to this amazing community of writers.  Recently  Jill Fisch  posted this on her Facebook page: Jill Fisch's new blog:   I Notice, I Wonder For me, summer hasn't been slow.  It's been busy.  Though I've been out of school since the beginning of June, it wasn't until July 16th, that my professional work took a bit of a break.  Every week since school ended I've been involved in meetings, professional development sessions, completing work related to school, and catching up on professional reading.  Now, granted, the schedule has been a bit more slowed, but it's still been full of professional work.  Finally on July 16th, I decided I was able to find the time for a two week break (sort of).   In one of those paused moments in the last few days, Jill's post caught my attention as I read ….
