School Days
Well, Justin's parents are coming this evening. The house is clean. Justin stacked the boxes for me. It looks better. I got Caroline registered yesterday. Her teacher is new so noone knows anything about her. I hope she will be good. But I bought Caroline a denim jacket today. She has wanted one for the first day of school. She is so excited, she has been wearing it all day! Less than a week until school starts! Then my baby will be going to school all day! It is a bitter-sweet time. I am so glad I will have all day without fighting children. I will have more time to get things done. But this is also the beginning of the rest of Caroline's life, at least for the next 12 years. I was talking to my cousin, Nicole, about it. I feel bad that she has that to look forward to. That she will be going to school, all day, everyday, forever! That she will never be able to be a little girl again and stay home with Mommy. But my wise, dear, Nicole said that we did it! We went to school all day, everyday, we had working mom's, and we LOVED school! School was the best! And by the end of the summer we were so ready to go back. We made all of our friends at school. We learned so much, not just school junk, but about life. This is all so true. It is just a part of life. Caroline will love school too. She will love learning, and she will love the social aspect of it. I just need to get over my own hang ups and remember how great school was!
Speaking of school... I am signing up for a water aerobics class and a yoga class. Justin told me not to over do it. (I think he just said that b/c it is at 6:30 in the morning, and he will have to be with the kids...) But I gained 7 lbs almost literally over night! All of my hard work, foiled! I don't know how or why this happened. But it will not happen again. I am going to exercise my butt off... LITERALLY! I lost 2 of those 7 last night, but it is frustrating to get on that scale and see that I weigh 5 more than I did last week. So, I have not really lost 21 lbs anymore. I am back to 16. UGH!!! Will this EVER get easier???

That really stinks about the weight gain. It has got to be water weight to have jumped on so fast. And you exercising as much as you are. I am so proud of you!! I haven't worked out for a couple of weeks. I'm just too tired to get out of bed. In fact this morning I only left myself 45 minutes to shower, wash my hair, get dressed, give grandma her pills and get out the door. Bad habit. I know I need to exercise, but I just get more and more tired as the week goes by. In fact I was thinking of cancelling my membership at the gym. Dad hasn't used his in months, so it's just money down the drain. It would be cheaper to walk! I don't know what to do. I wish I could do the water aerobics and yoga with you. Luv, Mom
I don't think anyone has ever called me "wise" before...thank you Jenny, you made my day!!!
