Quickie

Wow do I feel good. I walked last night after supper with Cassie, Erin and the 2 of the 3 dogs. We walked about 1/2 mile (hey, it's a start). I forced myself out of bed this morning at 4:30 and grabbed the pup and away we went. Another 1/2 mile. I'm hoping that once Joe starts going to work at 7 instead of 6 I can get in a longer walk.

Mason had to make a topographical map of IL last night. He made the dough himself. He got his cardboard cutout covered in this dough to represent the hills and the plains of IL. Then he started kneading the leftover dough in his hands. Do you know what happens when that mixture heats up? It's gets really really sticky. He had a hard time getting it off of his hands. What a mess! Oh well, his map looks good. He just needs to paint it at school and its done.

Cassie and I have a meeting tonight for her D.C. trip. They decided tonight who they will room with for the entire week. Man it's finally starting to hit me that my little girl is going to be away from us for a whole week. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to handle this. I'm sure that week you will find me weeping all over this blog. I apologize in advance.

Well, I gotta get going. I have a follow up appointment with the dentist this morning. My mother-in-law is taking the kids to school so Mason doesn't ruin his map on teh bus. Do I have the best MIL or what?!? Have a good day.

Good for you! The "start" is the hardest part. Especially that early, I just can't get out of bed to exercise. Way to go!

Hey Sher,
I'm exercising too. I have been going to the gym during Kaylin's softball practice. I usually get on the eliptical for about 40 minutes which turns out to be about 2 miles. Slowly but surely we will all lose weight and get in better shape. It's funny how we are all doing this at the same time but in different time zones or countries?! : ) Good luck with your getting into a routine. You can do it!
