I am always amazed at what one single day entails for me. Really, it is never the same. I think this is what keeps me in this profession. It is also quite possibly the only thing that could keep my ADHD tendencies in check, this constant stimulation.

My kids are very happy to be going to judge the NYC Healthy School Food contest. They really seem to be beside themselves with the whole idea of going. I rarely get to see them light up so much.

It always makes me a little nervous, making a promise to a child like that. I feel like so many people have failed my kids, I don't want to be another one of them. This whole judging thing started as such a far-fetched thing that I thought I would just try and ask for to something that I think will really greatly benefit the young men who go. I can't wait to see what happens.

This whole event is at the Food & Finance High School, which I only recently found out about. I think the boys will be impressed.
