So this is Day 2 of Daycare for my kids. It’s their first time ever in daycare, but their first day was great! Miss Sheri works out of her home & has a boy & a girl that are the same ages as my 2. In addition, she will be watching an almost-5-yr. old & twin 3’s, a boy & a girl. My only problem is the price. She is expensive, especially since I’m only using her part-time. The redeeming factors are my sanity, my job, but most importantly, the kids are going to have a great, fun summer. Today is Cooking Day. The kids get to work in the kitchen, which mine both love to do, but I have little patience for!

Work is getting crazy-busy! Besides the fact that more people move during the Summer months, my company also accquired 2 more apartment buildings for us to manage! I haven’t even seen them yet.  Other than that, I still love my job – which is why I’m willing to do the daycare thing to keep it!

Dwight & I are preparing our house for his brother’s family to stay with us for the 4th of July holiday. I think we might get a new bed, so that we can move our current one into the guest bedroom. Anyone out there have a sleep number bed? I’m really interested in those, but I dread the probable cost. We also need to carpet or tile our basement & replace the old, breaking metal playground equipment in our backyard. I’m hoping to replace it with a big trampoline! However, we’ll see how much of this we can afford. We don’t want to go into debt just for weekend visitors, even though we will need to get all that stuff done eventually (along with 1,000 other fix-it projects!)

Dwight has been doing so many great things for his health – riding his bike to work (which is a 40-minute ride!!!), playing disc golf, and even reading the Bible every morning. I’m really proud of him for trying to be so healthy, but now I feel like a lump next to him! I need to get my butt in gear – literally – and find a way to get some exercise & find some time to read. All I have to do is JUST DO IT!!!! Ugh! There are just too many excuses sometimes. Thankfully, God created mirrors. (OK, so He didn’t create mirrors, but He did allow us to see our reflection in the water – and my reflection is starting to betray me!!!)
