Feels like Monday

Weekend Recap-
Mom's knee will be fine. The phys asst she saw thought at first she broke her kneecap. Xrays showed that was not the case, but did show Mom has a generative joint disease. Although there is no cure, exercise will help. Right now she has her knee wrapped; I was fully expecting a cast or something more frankenstien-esque.

Didn't get a run in with Dad. Apparently Thursday he was doing some speed work, and pulled a muscle in his hip. He was on his second six minute mile. My dad will be 61 in October. Rock on, Dad, rock on.

Kids had a great time - picked apples with Grandpa and made apple crisp. Went on Jeep rides. Played outside for hours.





























First day of school-
Today was the first day of first grade for my big girl. She was a little meloncholy last night, but perked up a lot today. Hard to believe the big yellow bus is coming for her.

























She had an awesome day! I'm so proud of her, and her teacher e-mailed me that she did a great job staying on task! WHOO HOO!!

Weight Watch Week 5
Down two, back to 200. Total of 3. After the big yellow bus, I took two kids to the gym in a very quiet car. No crying, no tears at dropoff. The Boy was proud to be Toddler's helper. After that we went to SuperTarget and stocked up on "school" snacks for Big Girl to take to school, and "healthy" snacks for me. Oh yea, and the Smart Ones. I do much better if I don't have to think about what to eat next.
