STOP THE MADNESS!

Okay, so the cravings are really out of hand. I know I've had my crazy pregnant lady moments before this... but I'm feeling really, REALLY crazy lately. Yesterday I had another MAD Carmello bar craving (no other chocolate bar seems to do the trick). Before I was pregnant and when I was losing a bunch of weight, I would satisfy cravings by having just a little of what I wanted. Tried that yesterday with the Carmello bar - unfortunately pregnancy negates all rationality. I had a small caramel filled Hershey's kiss thinking this might help the craving. Uh... no. Not only did it not help, but the craving became worse and I spent from 3:00-5:00 at work yesterday with a thought process something akin to... "is this loan priced right?-Carmello bar-getting tired-Carmello bar-didn't finish this loan will have to-Carmello bar-finish it tomorrow-Carmello bar-what question do I-Carmello bar-have to ask underwriting again?-Carmello bar" AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!

After work I promptly hopped into my new Ford Escape (which would normally be the talk of my life, but I'm too obsessed with this baby and food) and drove right over to the Chevron mini-mart and purchased two, yes two, KING SIZE Carmello bars. The smarty-ass clerk smirked at me (keep in mind his normal belly was larger than my pregnant one) and said "cravings?" Were I in my usual, sane state I would have come back with some witty, sarcastic, retort... but my eyes and mind were on my Carmello bar and I just smiled back and said "oh you can tell?"

Now, be proud of me, I did NOT eat both said Carmello bars on the drive home. I actually stashed the other and put it in my desk drawer today where it remained safe from my cravings... until 3:00 (must be the magic Carmello bar hour for me). However, at 10:00 this morning I got a new craving that I almost actually gave in to. Pancakes. Don't ask me why... but they sounded like heaven. I nearly went to McDonald's for their hotcakes when I realized that I was so behind in my work and that a pancake break, even for a nutty pregnant woman, was out of the question. I ate my freakin' boring oatmeal and granola bars and sucked it up. But I'm telling you... this weekend, it's pancakes.... :)
