So, just journaling our back-to-school chaos around here. Early morning cross country workouts are in full swing and Rachel is being Jared's alarm clock, as they both go at the same time. Something tells me this will be a little scarier come Monday. Our back-to-school activities yesterday were: Rachel - haircut and manicure and "fish camp" at the high school. (today she will get a tetanus booster)
Jared- car tank filled, oil change, helping with fish camp and last day of being nanny to his 6 yr. old charge
Me - dentist, turn in substitute teacher application, mourning with Rachel the fact that she has a different lunch period than 95% of her friends

To the Gym Three Days in a Row
Now that i wrote that title, i am committed to going to water aerobics at 3:30 so i'm about to go get on my bathing suit. monday i did the pool thing in the morning, yesterday was the exercise machines in the early evening, so now we'll see how exercising in the afternoon works out. i have to work it around my tutoring schedule, which this year i am doing wed. mornings also. my goal--- i'm trying to maintain my weight and not gain any! once i know i am not gaining, i will be brave enough to start trying to lose. i had some luck at one time when i was doing curves and watching what i ate. unfortunately, i also enjoy reading shape magazine while eating chocolate chip cookies. what an oxymoron. i am .... off to burn calories.
