SchoooooooL's Back? Oh darn it.

We made it! Up and out the door on time that is for N's first day back at school. Rolling out of bed at 6:30a.m. just stinks. If you don't know me well already, I am NOT much of a morning person. N is always happy to get up....unless it's a school day, then the game completely changes.

Grumbles and whines at the beginning are normal, but after a vacation break--the grumbles are longer and whines usually turn into some tears of anxiety. =( *A common Spina Bifida struggle and well...just being 9*

But B had left her a note at the breakfast table that read...

 Which dried the tears and replaced them with a huge smile =) *This kid LOVES playing Dodgeball as much as she loves Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies* And kinda made me teary-eyed because it was so very sweet of him. We can be quite a mess together lol

So after the bus had gone I thought my loneliness from my family being gone and I having nadda to do until school starts could be replaced by working out. (Isn't this pretty much on everyone's priority list right now?) I purchased the Jazzercise Burlesque workout DVD (which is super awesome btw since a membership is a bit too expensive right now) and realized how extremely out of shape I am. After starting, I took a break *yes, really* and thought I might want to shut the curtains in case the meter reading guy shows up in my backyard and I scare him with all my hip shaking action.

By the 3rd song I was panting like a fat dog in summer and realized how much pizza and beer (one of my favs) sits on my hips and belly so very unattractive-like when doing hip swivels.

Must get back into Shape. Yes, indeed-de-do.

I'm think some reading and possibly trying to make a pen completely on my own is on the agenda for the afternoon. Makes me nervous using power tools, I am so not fearless in that way.

But I did find this piece of awesomeness yesterday while we were puddering about at Cabela's before N's doctor appointments. 

 

I am totally NOT a hunter (I could never kill Bambi) but it was amazing and I look pretty fearless, eh?  ;)~

AND/OR just are sweet and would pass our FB page (top right) and my Blog along to friends to help us get word out that would be... Amazing, Awesome and we do genuinely Thank you with great muchness! =)
