Update
Okay, so here goes with my required update!
Life is busy as always. This month should increase with the holidays here. I'm working on getting my house ready for Christmas...not sure where we're going to put up the tree & Jenna's Christmas Village. I usually do this the Friday after thanksgiving, but I had a full day so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to it. Would it be bad if we skipped it this year? JK
We are looking forward to Cory coming home for Christmas. Jenna is really excited! She really misses him. Aren's still too young to really notice. But I'm sure he'll enjoy him when he's here.
I'm thinking about actually starting to do "The Body Shop at Home". I joined as a consultant mainly because I love the products & use them so much myself, but I'm about ready to start having parties. In fact, I have two scheduled in December. We'll see how they go!
Things at the daycare have been difficult. Numbers are really low so that means income is low. In order to balance the figures I've had to lay off another employee and work their hours in the classroom, along with my cut in hours. I feel like I am chasing my tail trying to get everything done and make sure I'm not forgetting anything. One week I forgot to make the deposit and had $192 in fees when payroll went through. I'm praying that we can make it through these tough economic times!
Jenna has really been enjoying 2nd grade...& I just love her teacher. Mrs. Farr is so laid back and really lets the kids be kids. Her classroom is loud & appears chaotic but the kids are very well-behaved and are learning so much!
At the beginning of November I joined Cutting Edge gym. I've really enjoyed working out there, but it has been so difficult to schedule. And the longer I go, the more time I want to spend there. A trip to the gym could easily consume a 3 hour block of time, when you count travel time, changing into workout clothes, treadmill, weight machines, free weights, sauna, shower & dress. Is it really work it? I've decided to at least keep going until after the holidays...& we'll see after that. I did lose 4 pounds the first week, but gained it back & weigh the same as when I started. But I do think that I have toned in places...Dave thinks so too. So that's a plus. But again, is it really worth it?
Well, I better get to bed!

You should definitely keep your membership because Leesh and I want to work out with you!!!! We were just there today talking about wanting to pick a day next week to work out together!!!!!
My mom is there for like 3 hours. Crazy I think. I know the feeling I have really had a hard time getting there. But I am going to try to go today. See the word try!! lol
I can only imagine how excited you are for Cory. How long will he be here?
Sounds like a busy time you've got going there.
You know, as far as working out and if it is worth it.... anything that improves your health is worth it. You need some 'just me' time... we all do! So, ok it can be a chunk of time... so what. You're worth it. Being healthier is worth it.
The healthier we are, the better we can care for those we love.
@RH32 - that's just not what I would choose as "me time"! Gym is definitely WORK! Yuck! Granted this gym has not been nearly as bad as other kinds of workouts so that's a blessing.
