I really should remember to eat next time

Dear self:

Next time you end up babysitting, perhaps it would be a good idea to
eat some dinner beforehand, or maybe stop and grab and sandwich or
something which you can eat after the children are in bed (because you
are not hungry before then anyway). If you were to remember to do that,
perhaps you would not be standing at their open cupboards/fridge
wondering:

A) Why there is a bag of boiled potatoes on the top shelf and
B) Why does that suddenly sound really, really appetizing? (It
shouldn't, that is a bad sign.)

Also, perhaps then you would be less likely to find yourself eating
Breton crackers dipped in delicious four-cheese alfredo sauce from a jar
you remember eating from four or five weeks ago. And feeling sort of
guilty about it as you ran through worst case scenarios in your head,
such as: what if the house caves in tomorrow and this is all they have
to survive FOR A MONTH?????
