Sickness is my middle name

No, scratch that. Sickness is Camdyn's middle name. The disease of the week at my house has been Hand, Foot and Mouth. Look at my poor pitiful baby girl! And this picture was taken 2 days before the full-blown spots attacked every inch of her mouth, hands, bottom, and feet! Well, she is finally on the mend. It has taken all week and hours of disinfecting every inch of my house, every single day. My mom has been a-mazing this week too! She kept Camdyn two days this week so that I didn't have to miss the entire week of work. She is so quick to help me in anyway she can, and I am just so blessed to call her "Mom". I can tell that Camdyn has spent some extra time with her "Mam-mow" (rhymes with cow, and Grandma is hoping this name will not stick!) She seems to think that her every desire and whim should be catered to...hmmm... I wonder where she got that idea from?? GRANDMA! :)

On the school front, my kids were apparently coo-koo-ca-choo while I was gone though, so they came back to a teacher who was in a very bad mood! They were perfect angels for me though. They knew better than to test me yesterday.

I am still ON the fitness bandwagon! I had to take this week off because of Camdyn being sick and us not being able to leave my house, but I will be right back on track next week! Wooohoo!!! Size 2, here I come!

I think that is all the updates I can muster at this point. I am hearing "Momma, Momma, MOMMA" from my kiddo... Time to go be MOMMA!

First Week of January

This week has been interesting....

First, I had an awesome week with my kiddos at school. My *darling* that I battle with every single day withdrew. My class was calmer and listened better. Everyone was getting along! It was simply perfection! I enjoyed every day of work last week. Then Friday afternoon, I opened up my email to find a message that read that aforementioned *darling* would be re-enrolling and would be back on Monday. I. cried. For real, went into teacher neighbor's room and cried. It's sad that one *darling* wreaks so much havoc in a room, but this one is a doozy!

Second, I had to attend a parenting seminar for divorcing parents. B and I did it together. That was.... interesting... to say the least. The two presenters were actually quite humorous and it wasn't that bad. One presenter did keep mentioning killing people, so we may be seeing her on the 6 o'clock news soon. Cuh-razy!

Finally, I began my fitness journey this week. I kickboxed attempted to kickbox on Wednesday, and Thursday was a Slim in 6 video. My teammates who are working out with me elected to begin with the "ramp it up" video and clearly I needed the "start it up" video cuz I am S-O-R-E. Muscles that haven't been worked in years are being awakened and they are complaining about it something fierce. But, they will eventually quit barking at me and I will be hot and skinny! You know the song "Jesus, Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood? Well, I have been singing the "Jesus, Take the Fat" version (lyrics by Angela!) I don't know if that will help in my fat burning endeavors, but I figure a little extra prayer and praise during my workouts can't hurt!

That's it for now! And if you want to hear the lyrics of  Jesus Take the Fat, I'll be happy to sing for you!

Love,
Angela
