Exercising SUCKS

So I finally download a C25K app, loaded some music, dusted off the running shoes, and hit the pavement. 30 seconds into it I wanted to die. Last week was my first week, and though I didn't complete it the way you're supposed to, I tried. I'm redoing week one, and still haven't completed it like I'm supposed to. But I'm trying. I've cut WAAAAAAY back on soda and have been drinking lots of water. Somehow I gained 2lbs last week?? I am hoping to make it to Jazzercise tonight - maybe that will defunk me b/c running just isn't my thing. I'd like to be able to run at least one 5k in my life, and I'm hoping for September. We shall see.

I can't believe school is almost over and done. I've been trying to make some summer fun plans - think I'm going to put a bunch of fun things in a jar and have the kids pull one out a day. Trying to come up with new ideas is hard!! Some that I have so far are:

• tye dying shirts
• bleach tye dying shirts
• chalkboard paint something
• make an outdoor twister board
• finger painting
• work on scrapbooks

If anyone has ideas to add, please share them!!!

Trip to the Lake

So we headed to the Lake to do some shopping...for a gun cabinet for Chris's birthday. The cabinet was on clearance and Chris sold me when he said that the kids were old enough now that the guns needed to be properly stored. BUT, had I known that his intentions were to put the gun cabinet in our bedroom I would have said NO!!

Chris dropped Kayla and me off at the outlet stores where we returned some Crocs and bought a new pair, socks and a Crocman - too cute. We hit Gap and got some flip flops and then stopped at Under Armour and got a shirt. By that time the boys were back with the gun cabinet and it was time to head home.

Now to prepare for Easter festivities...

Misses Spring Break

Oh how I miss Spring Break. We had such a wonderful, peaceful, no schedule week. It was a slow paced, do whatever, no fighting, no homework week. Why can't we have that every week? I'm so happy tomorrow is Friday because this week has been full of dance, girl scouts, homework, reading, dance, baseball practice, gymnastics, conditioning, parent computer club night at school...I think that's it. Nevermind getting ready for Easter which always seems to sneak up on me.
