I am incredibly organized in all parts of my life right now..........so much so that I don't have time for the computer and posting. I will try to include it though a bit better in my day. I decided this summer that with working so much and the kids being home and such, I needed to take better care of myself or I was going to have a coronary. I have been to yoga 8 times, body pump 5 times and have had 7 huge walks in the past 3 weeks. That is 20 things in 21 days..............a few times I did all three in one day, so I have had a few days off, but I am really tired yet energized at the same time. I have NEVER been able to touch my toes..........even as a child..........I have no flexibility and so yoga is a challenge for me. Last nights class was especially hard, but today I feel really great for having done it. You know when you feel completely stretched out and loose.............so rare for me. The minute I decided to take some time and workout, J had a coronary himself. I also find that my work needs me or some crisis comes up just as I am leaving for the gym. It is really hard to commit to yourself and just do it.
We also have some new friends that I am really enjoying from down the street. He is European and so different from anybody I know. She is a former model and was on the cover of Vogue and Elle...............she is exactly my age and still looks like a barbie doll................I told her this and it offended her..........she is so down to earth and not at all like I would have thought. We sit by our pool for hours in the evenings and have so much fun................I have teased them it is the "Kuttner summer".....(their last name)....
I also am reading a novel with one of the kids I work with. A 16 year old boy that I think has never been read to in his life.............we are both loving it and I must say it may be the most important thing I have done all year............we in education spend too much time in meetings and presentations and not enough time with kids themselves..........I need to get my camera out more.............my yard is blooming and so are my kids...........here is a pic. of my family from the beach this summer.
