Life Update

Saturday was week six of my exercise routine. So far so good. I've only missed one day of exercise(my b-day). I have been feeling pretty good. I've only lost 5 pounds so far, but I'm trying not to focus on that. I feel a lot better, and that is more important.

The past two weeks I've been doing a favor for a friend who just had a baby. She does daycare, and asked me if I would take over for a couple of weeks so she could have a break when she had her baby. I told her I would because we could use the extra money. I had to watch a 4 year-old girl and a 6 year-old girl (sisters). It wasn't too bad. The 6 year-old was at school until 3:40. I did have to take the 4 year-old to preschool 3 times a week, and pick up the 6 year-old from the bus stop. I think the hardest part was when everybody got home from school. It seemed like a crazy house. The two girls I was watching love to tattle. So, every 10 minutes one of them would be running to tell on someone. It was nice to get some extra money, but I was glad when it was over.

Today is Hallowen. We finally have all the costume stuff ready. Claire is going to be Snow White. Jake is going to be a ninja. Elise is going to be a mime. I am the most excited about the mime costume. It's the closest one to being home made. When I have pictures I'll post them.

I have been in a book reading slump lately. I just haven't felt like reading. I hope I get over this soon. I have way to many unread books in my bookcase.

I can't wait till Friday. Ben and I are going to see one of our favortie bands, The Beautiful South. I've seen them twice before, and they are really great live. They are from England. I love english accents.

Happy Halloween!
