Baseball and More Baseball...

This week it seemed as if I was over taken by the baseball gods. Varsity baseball Monday night until 10:35 pm. Varsity baseball Tuesday night until 10:45 pm. Dodgers-Astros Wednesday night until late. I AM TIRED OF BASEBALL...ok...I said it. I got it out there. I AM TIRED OF BASEBALL.

I got in a long bike ride on Tuesday between school and the baseball game. It was nice and relaxing. A strong headwind on my way back but not to bad overall.

Wednesday I took Josiah to the new asthma/allergy doctor. Since it was the first appt., I didn't think it would be long and actual testing with needles would be done. I bought tickets to the Astros-Dodgers for the same night thinking no problem. Well, 2 hours later we were leaving the doctor and Josiah had missed seeing James Loney to have him sign his jersey. He got the prong tests in his back (24 prongs). It comes up he is allergic to cats and dust mites. Well, seeing how we don't have cats and we don't have any carpet for the dust mites to live in(ceramic tile floors in entire house), I don't think that is what is causing the asthma and sickness. He goes for further testing on May 5th so stay tuned.

I Hit 10%!!

I finally hit my 10% weight loss goal. After 2 -0 lb weight loss weeks, I lost 5 lbs this week to go over my 10% goal by 2 lbs!!! WOOHOO!!! To celebrate I went got a haircut, color, and hilights for the summer!! :)

Josiah is...

EAGLE OF THE MONTH for his school!!! They pick 1 student in each grade and he got it for Kindergarten for all of his hard work in getting caught back up from when he was sick for so long. I just got back from going to get him a die cast Star Wars ship to go with his collection.

Breakfast - Do or Don't

In my house, breakfast is required. And I'm not talking about a bowl of cold cereal. I get up early every morning to make Josiah breakfast before I go to work and he goes to school. It has been proven over and over that kids do better in school if they have eaten a good breakfast to start the day. Breakfast wakes up the brain. They also have better behavior when they have a full stomach.

This morning one of my coworkers and his wife dropped their son off at 5:45 am because they were leaving at 6:00 am with students from school on a trip. I was to drop their son off with Josiah at school. I told them last night not to worry about breakfast because I always cook and I would make sure he got a good breakfast also. His dad stated, "He will be so excited because we never cook breakfast."

When he came in this morning I had a hot breakfast of turkey bacon and cinnamon oatmeal ready for him to eat with Josiah. He said he had brought a snack for breakfast instead. He sat there and ate a chocolate and cream filled pop tart instead. WHAT?!?!?! That is what they let him eat in the morning?!?!?!That was fine with Josiah, he got an extra piece of bacon this morning.

So what do you think about breakfast???? And do you cook for your kids in the morning??? I get up at 4:45 so that I can make breakfast when we could do without and get up at 5:20. Hmmmm....I think I will keep making breakfast.
