Day 5

Days remaining: 157
Weight: 184
Routine: 25 minutes on elliptical
Goal: 165

Came home "early" (read:left at 4:30 instead of 5:30) so I could get my workout in before I picked up the boys from daycare. Thursdays are our boy scouts night...and that means we don't get much time between daycare and boy scouts to do homework and dinner...let alone ALONE time for Momma to work out. So, I had a shorter workout than I would like to have had. But, I'll take it. NO EXCUSES!!!

had the boys sitting in the computer room - playing on their leapsters. Owen was a pill. Caleb was an angel. Why? DH had a late patient. And, I will not make excuses for myself - not working out anymore. It is the new way I will live. YES-SIREE!!

Meeting an educational mentor...awesome.
Getting him to sign a copy of his book AND take his picture with you... dreamy.

Seven years

Had lunch with this awesome seven year old today, at his school. He's growing up way too fast.  Man, I love this kid!

Ice cream cone cupcakes

Operation ice cream cone cupcakes is complete! Now...I just have to figure out how to safely transport these messy things to school in the morning...for the seven year old & his mighty band of first grade classmates. :-)

My little valentine

Love this green eyed, mohawk wearing, sweet & smart three and a half year old boy. He gives the best hugs and is such a lovey guy...

Benchmarking buckets

As the campus curriculum facilitator, I prepare buckets for our second through sixth grade teachers for district based benchmark assessments. This picture shows how many teachers we have and the organized, color coded person I am. By the way...our elementary is at an enrollment of 909 students. Um. Wow.
