Another day closer....

...to the start of school! Exactly one week to be specific- and I can't wait!

Today I again have Chris' 3 nephews and niece, but its a easy day cause Chris is home...the day off thing, ya know? Anyway....this morning Matthew has his kindergarten orientation...again. I wanted to take him, but according to Chris, he never gets to do anything fun, so he got to take him! And I'm so nervous for Matt! This isn't his first time doing this.... he's repeating kindergarten this year, but he kept talking yesterday how he's "a little nervous". I reminded him a million times that he's going to have the same teacher and aide, so he'll know them already. Plus, a kid that was in his class last year, is also repeating, so he'll know him. And... one of his best friends from last year, well, his brother will be in his class too! So I just reminded him that he'll know some of the kids, and he'll be a leader this year! I'm really glad now that I decided to have him held back. I'd much rather have him stay back this year instead of having to do it once he's a little older. I think he definitely benefited from going last year, but considering he started school last year when he was only 4 years old, and didn't even turn 5 until December, he'll be a more average age this year.

Otherwise, nothing much going on around here. Chris and I are finishing our kitchen table today, and I have to remember to buy more paint to do a second coat on the livingroom walls. I need to try to exercise today too. Maybe typing it will make it happen easier? Yesterday I walked the track a bit after my work start-up meeting, and actually jogged a bit. Only around a 1/4 of the track, but its a start! I could burn so many more calories by running versus walking, and I think if I could get rid of the "jiggle when you run" fat, I wouldn't be as self-conscience.

Thats all for now. I'll be writing a doozy of a post tomorrow, so make sure you come back and check it out. And I'd love to hear some opinions of it too....so if you could , leave a comment or email me!
