5 Things on my mind...

1. I must drink more water on Friday if I am going to make it through my
long workouts on the weekends without cramping and having to recover
for 2 days.
2. Don't trust anybody in education...they all lie!
3. Only 1 more week until I go back to work. Yuck! See #2...
4. Rivercities this weekend! WOOHOO!! I can't wait to travel with Patty,
Pam, and Catherine to Shreveport.
5. I have scrubbed my house and got things ready for next week. I am
way ahead of the schedule.

California Girl

I miss California so much when I am not there. Thank god I was able to take Josiah and go for 2 weeks, the best 2 weeks we have ever had since he was born. He is at the perfect travel age where if he doesnt get a nap it is okay, no breakdowns! We went for walks on the beach, boogey boarding, to Legoland twice (Josiah's first roller coaster), the San Diego Wild Animal Park, the San Diego Zoo, saw Transformers 2, the Redwoods in Northern California, and Benny's wedding. ALL IN 2 WEEKS! Whew! I need a vacation from my vacation. Good news: I didn't gain weight in California! :)
