things start to sprial

Hello Monday.

I have been waiting for you all weekend. This past weekend marked the first weekend of classes and it was a little crazy. I was so glad that I was not the only person who walked out of Sat. morning class shitting my pants. But I made it though. Actually, it was exciting because everyone really wanted to be there and to experience the experience. I am excited that it is all about something I want to learn and more importantly, going to my intership. I already really like it there. I practicing really hard listening and observing and not to share to many personal issues. Because where I am at know I can tend to do to much of that.

I really missed the kids last week, it was hard to say goodbye every morning and not be there and know that I would not be home until much later then normal. Matias watched the new PBS kids show dinosaur train with all of his dinosaurs lined up in front of the Tv. Milli tried rice cereal with little success. (a resulting trip to urgent care as a matter of fact) She is fine and enjoyed the ceral, but we are still over to the allergist this week to make sure she is ok.

We also attended a wedding that was very dear to my heart, even though I missed the vows due to school, still Luis took some lovely pictures. Ellen and Eric said I do on Sept the 12th and we are so happy for them and Leo. Also check out the picture, that is her amazing backyard garden!!! How can I even compete :) Well I am off to write a paper all about me and my crazy family.

P.S. I lost 4 pounds on w.w. last week!!!

more..lifestyle choices

Do you remember back in February when I wrote that I was going vegan. Well if you don't it is not a big deal, but really the main point of the post was I needed to change some of the habits in my life. Because the idea of going down the path to obesity seemed to becoming more and more eminent. Well I only lasted two weeks as a "vegan" but I have been making some other "life style choices" (barf). Recently I picked up a workout tape, called turbojam. (Yes, I bought it from an informerical). Here is the thing...I really like it.

It is high energy and fun and it has a little timer on the bottom of the screen so I can make bets with myself. I can do it at home after Matias is in bed and that is two great for words! So here is to baby steps on a road to a healthy life :)

P.S. How can you not want to work out at a person who looks like this? (and calls herself a getto soccer mom)
