It is the kids last week of summer and I tried back around 6/15 to get this week off of work but was only offered part of the time off. I was asked to work 2-3 hours on M, T, TH & Fri. Since that meant that I still needed daycare for the week, I asked Mom & Rog.
I took the kids over to Grammy n Poppa's Monday 8/27 after Jake's testing for kindergarten. They both promptly put on their swimsuits! Mom had typed up an itinerary for the week and good thing that swimming was the first on the list!!! :) I like that they are having Devos/story every night. Yesterday they got to go to Balboa Park! They are very lucky because today they get to go out and have breakfast on the beach! (watch DVD's and swim, etc...) :) I am thinking of doing an itinerary for the normal school week that starts 9/5/12.
The house has been awful quiet! Monday I was beat and went to bed around 8pm. Last night Darin and I kinda quietly did our own thing. Tonight we plan to go to a movie (Bourne Legacy). I have Wednesdays off so not quite sure what I am going to do. I started flylady last about 1 1/2 wks ago and so I will do my chores. We are in the living room this week. Yesterday morning before work I had Darin help move the living room sofas away from the wall and boy was it DIRTY! He helped clean up the bulky items before going to work. I vacuumed and put the sofa back - so much nicer! (I'm not scared to put my hand under the sofa now.)
I haven't been happy with my belly getting bigger so I might start a program called The Couch-to-5K ® Running Plan! This is what I will be doing 3 times the first week: Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. Easy enough - I think.
Jake's 5th birthday is coming up on 9/8 and we will have a small celebration for him here at home with just family. He had been asking for a skim board so I ordered one through Amazon and it came yesterday. Last year we did a combined b-day party early October at Chuck-E-Cheese and so this year on Sat 9/28 they will have a combined b-day party at Pump It Up.
I need to learn how to easily put photos on here. However, about 1 1/2 wks ago I lost my "phone" (it isn't used as a phone) that I take all my pictures and videos with. :(
