Summer class, but school schedule

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

I started a week long class yesterday. It is interesting and will benefit my 8th grade Earth Science class, but I'm back to my school schedule. It was actually easy getting up this morning, I even woke up before my alarm went off; but the first lecture was hard to sit through & stay awake for. It was interesting, the lack of sleep was just getting to me, plus the lecturer had a somewhat monotone voice.

So why was I up before 5:15 am, I wanted to get in my 6 mile run, which I did. At least tomorrow is a later start, due to my group meeting the rest of the class in SF, instead of driving a half an hour south to turn around and go an hour and a half north. Anyway I'm hoping to get more sleep and still get in a small run and some Zumba before 8 am.

Have a Terrific Tuesday!!

I would enjoy sitting through a class at this point. I am really starting to get bored. Hope you learn a lot! Report Inappropriate Comment

I have to say it's nice to see a teacher who cares about preparing themselves even more for their students! And wow, 6 mile run. Is that non stop? ANd you are such a high achiever, getting in all that workout before 8. I've been reading a book about how to have a 48 hour day and you sure do follow a lot of it's advice like getting up early and getting things done! Report Inappropriate Comment

Busy saturday, dance as started again and DD is not only in her Combo class but also a Gymnastics class. The Combo class is at 10:30 and the Gymnastics class starts at 12. So we had lunch down by the river and than went back for the second class. She LOVED the gymnastics class,but just need to practice her cartwheels.

We got home with enough time for me to eat lunch and than go to work at the bar. I said I would help out occasionally this summer, I just wasn't ready for all the running around today. Work was slow due to the beautiful weather and activities going on in another town, but it was nice to get out and work with a friend that I don't see much, due the fact that I don't work in the bar anymore. I got home around 8:30 pm, just in time to finish up bath time, watch an episode of Scooby Doo and read a book so the kids could go to bed. Thank goodness I got up early and got in my 6 miles this morning!

Have a Wonderful Father's Day!!

on the 6 miles, I hope to be able to run that someday soon! Sounds like you're getting in a little extra cardio bar tending too. Report Inappropriate Comment

We had a great date night. We saw Pirates of the Caribbean and than ate a Italian restaurant. I wanted a new book to read so we went to Barnes and Noble, I didn't have any luck finding something new, so I'll have to check if I have something around here to read. If not I'll be rereading the last Harry Potter book before the movie comes out in July. The best part about last night was not have to hurry home to relieve the babysitter and getting to enjoy some time with just me and the hubby.

I did 45 minutes of Zumba and Pilates today, before picking up the kids and I'm planning on getting up early tomorrow so I can get in 6 miles before DD has to go to dance class. It's been nice not having to run for Dance, but she is ready to get back to it.

Time to get some sleep so I can get up in the morning. Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!

NCREMEENS, I think I was just being too picky:) Report Inappropriate Comment

I love date nights! Barnes & Nobles is my absolute favorite store. I could probably spend my whole paycheck there. How could you not find one single book? I always leave with way more than my husband wants me to! Have a great day! Report Inappropriate Comment

Grandpa and Grandma Stokes offered to take the kids for an overnight, so the hubby and I are having a date night! . We are going to see a movie and go out for dinner. I have done really well today so I'm hoping to stay in my range and avoid the temptations for dessert and candy.
I ran 4 miles today, unplanned, but the kids were using the living, so I guess I may Zumba tomorrow. I also got in 20 minutes of Pilates, I'm hoping to notice a slimming of the waist line by the end of the month. I figure as much as I feel it working I should see inches disappear.
I hope you all had a great day and thanks for stopping in!!

So short and sweet, I ran 5 miles today, push mowed the lawn and played 2 games of softball. I'm tired and ready for bed, but I'm hungry so I'll be grabbing a quick snack first. I really struggled today with my run, which is why I only got 5 miles in. I just felt exhausted, so I'm hoping my snack tonight will give me enough energy to get up and run in the morning. I would eat before I run, but that usually makes me feel sick. I'll see if this works and if not I'll try something else.
Have a great night and a Terrific Thursday!!
