Happy to report....

So I'm happy to report that I made it out twice to do my running last week!! I know it doesnt seem like much, but I was proud of myself! Im doing pretty well and am starting to get my energy back up. I would have loved to have got out more but this weather is so unpredictable. I need to do something else other than run though to build muscle and help me lose weight. I used to do pilates and have thought about doing that again, but its just not much fun. If anyone has any suggestions of any good dvds to buy Im up for them! I am making it a point though to start going to the gym next week!! Do ya hear that...Im announcing to everyone. Now maybe Ill actually make it there. :) Ok, well on Tuesday anyway! I will be spending tomorrow disinfecting my house. We have all been sick this week. William is down with it as of right now! And he is one that never gets sick, so I know when he gets it its bad. So Im up bright and early tomorrow to start cleaning and getting rid of all these germs that are in this house. Maybe then we'll all quit getting sick!

I am also happy to report that, why it may sound silly to all of you or at least the few that actually read this, we made it to Sonic on Friday!! As some of you know my kids LOVE Sonic! And Im not talking about the restuarant, Im talking about the actual character Sonic. So when they heard we had a Sonic they flipped out! :) I, on the other hand, have fallen in love with their Cherry Limeades!!!! YUMMY! Most of you know that Im not much of a water person, but I have told myself that if I will drink water then I can reward myself once in a while with something of than pop. It gives me a little break with the water. I have definitely found myself as treat! Last night we were all still in our Sonic phase from Friday that we decided to all pile up in the car, to get out the house for a little while, and go get something to drink...at Sonic of course! We used to do that often, take drives and enjoy the scenery, but with gas prices up we've cut down alot. It was so nice to just get out again!

On a more serious note. We are going to look at the public schools this week. As most of you know we are in prayer about switching Mason to public schools based on finances and his dyslexia. Its a very hard decision because the school he attends right now will recognize it and work with him, but we are unable to afford it. Where as the public schools we have heard are very reluctant to recognize dyslexia, but can still offer him assistance and of course is alot cheaper. Alot of people say well its an obvious situation...if you cant afford it then you have no choice. But its truely not that easy. We are also considering homeschooling. We have looked at the option a couple times, but dont know too much about it and need to do some more research. In all honesty, Im not sure of my capabilities of teaching him and his ability to learn from me. It seemed like the perfect option when we first explored it, but the more I think about it the more I doubt it and myself. Especially with the twins at home as well. But then I think I know what Mason needs and how he would learn best so who better to teach him than me! If only it were that easy. :) Its a very confusing and difficult situation. So basically I guess what Im saying is that we need prayers going up for us as we make this difficult and tough decision.

Ok, so enough of my ramble! I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed week!

Oh yeah...the picture up top! Isaac has moved up to bigger and better trees! William found him almost hanging from that branch. I am predicting by the time summer rolls around he'll have made his way up ONTO that branch! Do I since emergency room trips this summer?! :)
