I DID IT!

Today Sally picked me up at 7:15 and off to Chalco Hills Park we went. We (along with my partner teacher Anne) did a woman's tri-athalon. It was non-competitive and a great experience. Last night at my stamping club, they told me they couldn't believe I was going to swim in that lake. It was gross! I am not a swimmer, it is the one thing I truly do NOT enjoy doing. It was the hardest part of the whole affair. I biked two miles and ran 1 1/2 miles. Hurray for me! We have agreed that we are really going to do the Lincoln half-marathon next May. After that we went to Netties for lunch. Definitely the best lunch I have ever eaten after the workout we had.

I came home and took the longest, hottest shower. I washed my hair twice and scrubbed my face and brushed my tongue. I swallowed some lake water and it left a horrible feeling in my mouth (even with spicy mexican food to eat). I feel really clean and fresh now!
DD spent the night at my moms. My sister is supposed to be bringing her home, but so far no sign of her. I want to go shopping. A lot of my pants are not fitting since I have lost so much weight. I have a couple of coupons I would like to use! DH is in Colorado with his brother for the weekend.

School was fine. The first day was the longest, but it got better after that. I have already gotten an email wondering why their child was not in the challenge math group when they always have before. The child wasn't last year and I decided to only take those who were for now. I have no problem moving a kiddo up, but I do not want to move one down. Not a good thing for them. I have 22 in my homeroom this year, and they seem pretty good. I have one real behavior issue, but I can take care of him. I had his sister and she was a lot like him. I think I can rein him in.

I have not stitched since before vacation. I need to pull myself together and work on a few things. I'm going to finish up my lesson plans this evening and then I am going to work on my RR. I have two I want to mail this week.
