Did you brush your teeth, Did you get your lunch money...

BAAaack to School day! The boys all got off to school this morning. I made a point to get up and devote the morning to a good sendoff! I made them each a 4 egg omelet with sausage and cheese. And sent them off with happy faces! Our fifth grader has been going for 2 days already. He seems happy and content to be back in the swing. Our freshman mentioned that he wasn't nervous at all, I think he's happy to be going into highschool, (could just be the abundance of pretty girls). Our senior, well, I think he's happy just being a senior.
Hopefully it will be a great year had by all.

Hey, and my lunch breaks will now be my own again........! Yes, the simple things!

hi!

T.G.I.F.!

It's 1:40 in the afternoon and I'm hoping that the afternoon zoooooms by. I don't know if you've ever done this, but, you know how it feels when you wake up on Saturday morning and think...yes! no work...it's the wknd...i can sleep longer! Well, this morning I woke up and thought for a split second that it was Saturday and then BAM! it hit me......it's only friday. Dang It!

I'm going to finish doing some back to school junk this weekend then we have a baseball team barbeque to go to on Sunday. It should be alot of fun.. just hope the weather isn't too terrible hot.

I've walked two miles every morning this week. I'm hoping I can manage to get to three miles a morning before the 20th. That is when we go to Sugarland for our first official training day. The first thing they do is clock you on three miles to see where your benchmark is.

Thanks for the encouraging words and the wonderful donations to the Leukemia Society!

Check out my walking blog or my donation page if you'd like!

have a nice weekend!

Down Hill Slide...

August 1st. The summer really has gone by quickly. School will be starting in only two weeks. The month will be a busy one. I've gotten a jump start on the school supplies $$$. But, I've got school clothes to purchase also.

I've starting training for a marathon! I'm very excited. Thus, I will probably be posting more on my
'walking blog'. Any extra encouragement would be appreciated!

My main focus for the month though, will be my kids as usual. I like the household to be very organized by the first day of school. I need to transform the house from the 'summer carefree craziness' to the 'let's study and be focused' setting. But, aside from that I will be walking as much as I can and trying to gain endurance.

My middle son, Travis, just got back from the NBC Hap Dumont World Series in Arkansas. They took 2nd place. It was a very busy week for him, playing up to three games back to back. They won the series the past two years so I guess it's only fair to take second this time! He got back on Saturday and today starts football practice! Wow, to be young ......!
