A Meeting of Blogging Minds

What a great day.  A visit with friends, my son has a friend over and my daughter is out playing with friends too.  I think we’ll all fall into bed and crash tonight.
This morning, it was a blogger’s breakfast.  Dawn, Joy, Emma (who’s gone private…for now?), and Aimes were all there.  I’d never met Aimes before [...]

Well, Hol-yyy Shishkabob

I lost six pounds this week, which makes a total of ten.  Whoo hooooo.
Totally weird because I didn’t do anything special this last week.  Perhaps my body is just catching up with the changes….or it’s a fluke.  Nahhh. 
So, I’m totally going to find time to get on that treadmill this weekend.  And you’re right, Dawn.  I [...]

Don’t Want to Walk Today

I’m sitting here typing because I’m avoiding my treadmill.  You see, I walked on it yesterday, and I have this thing in my mind about starting off slowly so that I can really make a good habit of it.  Slowly to me means every other day.  According to the deal I made with myself, I [...]

Whew. Feelin’ Much Better.

Yesterday was weird.  Monday I felt great.  In the evening I went to that Homeschool Support group meeting (which went superbly by the way – Dawn and I were genius!  Uhhhh, I mean we did fairly well, and everyone seemed pleased).  After the meeting we went for coffee at Tim Horton’s and were there until closing at [...]

Today

So far we’ve had a good day. The kids had music this morning, and while they were in their class I got a few groceries. I went shopping yesterday but there were a couple of things the store didn’t have in stock. It’s annoying when that happens!
After I went shopping I still had an hour [...]

Climbing the Walls

On Saturday we went wall climbing with the Junior Forest Wardens. All of the kids seemed to have fun. Even the ones who were scared about the whole thing. I think each child pushed themselves a little further and did more than they thought they could.
This was J’s cup of tea. She had felt so [...]

Grade Level Schmade Level? Part One

First of all, let me be clear.  I have no expertise in the area in which I’m about to write.  This post will be pure speculation and curiosity on my part.
This post came to me after I read a few blogs, spoke to other moms, and admitted to myself this concern of my children not meeting grade [...]

+ 0.8 Lbs

That’s what I gained this week.  It’s gotta be those cookies and cookie dough I ate on the weekend.  Plus, I haven’t been tracking what I’ve been eating the last few days and I think that does make a difference.  It’s easy to overeat when I’m not paying attention.
I went to the morning [...]

Total Eclipse

Did anyone else watch the lunar eclipse last night like we DIDN’T? Yes, I said did NOT.
This is what comes from not watching the news. I miss out on a cool sight that only happens every four years. Grrr.
