Back in the swing of things

I have decided that summer is great if you are one of those people that do not like schedules. We have run from one thing to another this summer, and are finally back into the schedule mode, that I like best.

I like to do my blog on Monday morning. It is Tuesday morning, now, because I had a bulletin for a funeral to do yesterday, so had to work at the church. I am going to try to get to the gym 3 times this week to workout, and I was able to get my b**t out of bed yesterday and go. Why I ever stop going is beyond me! I hate that first workout feeling ie. that I am going to die! My legs were itching because they had not had any circulation all summer. I am going to lift weights on Wednesday, so that should be fun! I just need to stop stopping! The other bad news is that I have gained back some of the weight that I worked so hard to take off. Stupid! Oh well, we are starting over, and we are back in the routine!

Kyra had her "Flower field" day last Monday. The class dresses up in pioneer dress, and only take and use what they would of had in the 1800's. They go to a prairie school for the day. She wrote with a Quill and ink, took jerky, cornbread, apple and milk in a glass jar for lunch. She had a good time, and hopefully is more thankful for the life she has in 2010.

I sat down the other day and was thinking of the activities that the girls and Mark and I are doing this year. Here is an example of our weeks:
Monday- piano lessons and Weight Watchers for Mom
Tuesday- Story Hour at the library and this week volleyball clinic
Wednesday- Midweek at Church, and Advent starting soon
Thursday- Girl Scouts and Choir for Mom
Friday- Nothing as of yet!
Saturday- Volleyball games for 2 months
I always said that I was not going to be one of those Mom's that ran their kids all over the place, and here I am. Well most of the places the girls walk to, but I do have to pick them up.

We had an electrical storm come through last night. We had very little rain, but plenty of lightning bolts that drilled the ground. We have not had rain for a good while, so you can imagine what happened... yes fires! Mark is on the rural fire board, so went out after work to fill trucks with water and have things ready as needed. He came home last night (after I was in bed) with a list of repairs for most of the fire trucks. We have been lucky most of this year with not too many fires, then had 4 last night. Murphy's Law.

I am trying to get laundry done, plus have to get my cake into town for the funeral dinner, so better keep moving. Until next week.
