Work Out

I get up this AM thinking i would go to the gym and do a class. So no biggie right, i picked body sculpt. Thought to myself i can handel this. How hard can to it be. Oh boy oh boy, i had not done a class in about a month, sense school started and well lets just say my thighs are burning, my calves were burning, my arms were burning, and we won't even talk about my back. And i just thought i was in shape. There was somethings i had to modifie so i could do them. No pain no gain, right? But you want to know the funny part about it, at the end of class i was happy i had done it. If i do the class often enough i should build up endurance , that is if i don't die first.

The past two days i worked out at home on the treadmill. It was just easier due to not really wanting to get out in the rain. So the first day i walked then i ran for about five minutes. That is all i could do with out feeling like i was going to pass out. Then yesterday i walked for most of it and ran for about 10 minutes and i sure can felt it today. No pain no gain!!! If i want to be able to kick the soccer ball around with the boys i need to stay fit. And to be able to eat chocolate :-)

That's about it for today, guess i am off to have lunch with Brian and then come home to clean house and do laundry. Until next time.... Amanda

one month in

It has been a whole month now since we started school. Time is sure flying by. Brice is doing great. And Hunter well we are not sure how he is doing. We will find out on Friday how well he is handling kindergarten. As of today i have started to work with him on learning to read. I think it is going to be a long process with him. Brice took right off when he started to learn to read. Hunter well i am just not sure yet of his learning style. This weekend we are going to get hooked on phonics for him . I think when i was doing daycare i had so many learning toys around to play with and Brice loved them. With Hunter the toys either got broken or passed on and well he is just not into sitting down for a long period of times. He would rather be outside playing and getting dirty. When they say no two kids are ever alike, that statement is so right.

We are now into fall soccer season and that is keeping us pretty busy. Brian was not really thrilled that i enrolled Brice for the fall season. Reason being it means that football would be interrupted. Or more like OU games. But he is getting use to the idea.

Hunter wants to do tee ball this spring. For me my own opinion is that baseball is so boring. BORING!!!! But who am I to tell a little five year old that he can not play a sport because his parents think it is a drag. Nope not me! So we will sit threw the countless hours of practice and games for a season and just pray that he wants to go back to soccer. Or heck we will just do both. But i really want the boys to stick with soccer. for me it is more fun and action packed. Then Hunter said he wanted to also do football. HMMMMM i'm not sold on that idea. Lets wait a bit on that. We might do flag football next fall. we shall see. Gotta love pee wee sports!

I have been volunteering on Fridays at the school. For both boys teachers. For the most part it is fun. But i get these strange looks sometimes of "why is she always here". I enjoy helping out and keeping an eye on both boys and making sure they are being treated right. I just pray that while i am their I am able to be a blessing and to show gods love. And I do love being a blessing. I love showing up with coffee for the teachers or a soda or something small. Or a tiny gift for their class. Now i just got to find out this year if the boys teacher likes coffee. if not then i will have to find something they like. I am sure everyone likes hot chocolate, (right).

We have a soccer game Saturday at 3:00. And on Friday we are going to go to Lincoln football game. It should be a blast as long as it does not rain. It has been raining for many days here. Wow , we might just have to get out our life jackets if it keeps it up. And on Sunday maybe we can get the things we need to start on the bathroom. I want to finish tiling it. Should be fun, right, Nope it really isn't but i am ready to tackle it!!!

Now guess i am off to bed. Untill next time...
