Today was much better than yesterday. I got up and lifted weights and then yes, I went on my run. I think that really helped me feel more motivated. I started painting the kids room while Nicolas and Emily worked on school. Speaking of school. I can not believe how quick Nicolas is grasping it! He is on a roll!! It is so much fun. He’s been working on his sight words (at and an words). And he’s just about able to just read them without sounding them out! Soooo much fun. That’s the fun part of being a home school mom! Anyway so back to painting. I ran out of paint halfway through the room so it will just have to wait. After school we went swimming again. Nicolas looks like such a bug in goggles (he calls them gobbles). Emily had fun doing her underwater tricks. I think she is lonely without her sister. Especially at the pool. They have some fun little game they like to play in the deep end. I’m thinking it has something to do with mermaids. I used to love to pretend I was a mermaid with my best friend Emily when I was younger. It’s 810 and both munchkins are in bed watching movies. I’m in bed getting ready to hit the lullaby tree. I’m tired. Off to work tomorrow. I’m thinking Doug will be out scouting with Nic for bear!
