What a glorious day! Today was my first Friday off since my kids started school and I am quite impressed with myself for everything I got done.
Today I...
*got up early and went to the gym
*went to my weight watchers meeting
*took the kids to school
*did ALL the laundry (yes friends, washed, dried, folded AND put away all in the same day)
*dropped off and picked up dry cleaning
*cleaned the entire house
*went to lunch with Deanna (my treat for getting the house cleaned)
*watched Martha Stewart (I love her show, but never get to watch it because of work)
*yoga tonight while the kids were gone
*watched what is left of the olympics
I usually have to get all the housework done on the weekend and I never feel like I have time to relax. Having Friday's off is going to make such a big difference. It's a happy day!

Back to school
Yes folks, it is that time again. Chris and I started last week but today was my kids first day back to school. I can hardly believe it. Sidney is in 6th grade and Megan is in 5th. How that happened I just don't know. It seems like just yesterday that there were 5 and starting kindergarten.Oh it's so sad how fast they grow. And HOMEWORK on the first day! Yikes!

My funny girl
Megan cracks me up. (on a regular basis) I went to download the latest pics from my camera onto my computer and there were a few surprises!


There were about 15 other pictures on there that she took of herself. Who knows? Maybe we have a future photographer in our family!
