First Week of School

So far it has been an exciting first week of school.  It always amazes me how much time I "think" I will have once the kids are in school.  It now comes as no surprise that I can totally fill just about every minute of everyday.

Three weeks ago I made a commitment to myself to get in better shape. It was one thing that I just felt I didn't have enough time for.  Basically I didn't make the time.  So now, it is one of the first things that goes on the calendar for the day.  I have managed to make it to Jazzercise at least 6 days a week for the last couple of weeks. Then this week I added in another 20 minute bootcamp workout in the morning with my neighbors.  I can't tell you how much better I feel.  I have a ton more energy, I feel great.  I can see and feel the changes as my body is toning up and getting stronger.  Each day when I feel the soreness and feel the changes is reminds me that God gave me this body and I need to take the best care of it I can.

Isaac also descended upon our household.  Not literally.  We are on the good side so we just got a little wind and extremely high humidity.  But the call came about 11am on Monday.  Chris said I need to get packed and I have to leave at 8am on Tuesday morning.  Then the second call came and Chris said, change of plans, we are leaving at 8pm tonight.  So he made it home about 5pm, we grabbed some dinner and packed his bags for an unknown number of days.

He had a bag full of clothes, a blow up mattress, sheets, towels, and plenty of snacks....just in case.  He is doing good.  I don't believe they ever lost power where he is.  Wednesday night was the worst night but by Thursday the winds had died down enough to get out there and get the cell sites back up and running.  So he is steadily decreasing the outages and we are hoping he can come home soon!

Volunteering has begun again.  Yay!  Chris told me that I could not go volunteer the first day of school!    I finally conceded because he was right, I had a lot of things to get done.  So I got a ton done on Monday.  Then I went in Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.   The workroom is very busy, tons to do.  I love it.  Library will start next week and I will officially jump more full time into the yearbook next week.

Let's see, I also accomplished...

Priced 207 items for a consignment sale
Dropped off and set out those items
Gymnastics classes
5 soccer practices
Went to the grocery store
Started my packing for our camping trip
Worked in the workroom, volunteered in the library
and Got 7 workouts in so far this week.

Oh yeah, and I had birthday in there!

It has been a great week!
