School and Stuff

School started for Elise and Jake yesterday. Ben took the day off (like he usually does),so we decided to take Claire out to lunch to celebrate. Claire is so much better when she is by herself. She is perfectly happy to play all by herself. She harldy ever whines about having nothing to do, or nothing to play with.

I'm so happy school has started. I don't know how some moms do home schooling. I think I would go insane. Now I need to think of some good activities to do with Claire. She has two more years left till kindergarten. I'd like to start working on her alphabet skills. I'd like her to be reading by next fall. My original goal was this fall, but that didn't happen. (mostly due to my laziness)

Another goal I have is to start exercising again. I have done pretty awful for the past month. If only it wasn't so hard to get up early. I am not a morning person. I need to eat healthier as well. I wish I was one of those people who have no problem eating healthy every day. I wish I had no desire to eat cheese, fried food, fried cheese, chocolate, ice cream,.....

I wish I had a little cheerleading squad that would materialize for me every time I made a healthy eating decision or every time I exercised. Maybe that would motivate me.

Gooooooooo Cyndi! You ate those veggies!! Yippity Doo!!!
