Why is Caffeine so bad for you? :(

Ok, so you all know my battle with soda. Most particularly Mt. Dew! Did you know that was what they used to called Moonshine? Things that make you go hurm?!
Well, I've been good for 2 days - no soda. Today I fell off the moonshine wagon! :) But I have had a clarity of mine and body that I haven't had for weeks. I have accomplished more in the past 3 hours than I have in a long time. AND it's stuff I've been putting off.
Why oh why is it such a bad thing?! Why oh why do my butt, hips, and stomach love it soooo much?! That's a rhetorical question - don't really answer it! LOL

This evening I attend my first PTA meeting. Any advice? I am actually nervous about it. It doesn't help that I have to take all 4 kids with me. They'll have babysitting there, but you can never tell how that's going to go. It's important for me to be involved with my children's schooling. I wouldn't even mind sitting on Boards and things like that. Nail free of course. (weak attempt at a joke). But there is one thing I have a hard time with. And that is opening my mouth and having words come out. Those of you that are really, really close to me know what I mean. When I get nervous and open my mouth, its a scarey thing. I never know what words are going to come spewing out. Seen Harry Potter? Remember when Ron had slugs coming out of his mouth from a spell gone wrong?! That is often how I feel. My whole family used to shirk down in their pew at church when I would get up to bear my Testimony.
Maybe I should have a shirt made with some funny quip about my mouth. I could wear it on special occasions like tonight. You know, kindof like - "here's your sign." :)

Anyway, it's important I go. Wish me luck tonight!
