amanda123's Journal, 20 Oct 10

Well the weight is coming down but I really thought that gain would be gone by now. It may be slower because I have been drinking diet root beer. I am going to try to limit them to just one on Saturday or something. They are so good and maybe that can be a treat to myself to get me through the weekends. I am going to be a busy girl this week. Mid-term test tomorrow in Teaching, Oedipus The King 500 word essay due Friday by 7pm, then a Spanish test this weekend and lastly I am behind on my algebra homework so catch up time on that. Whew! Had a blast last night with the kidos and probably got plenty of exercise too. We played hide & go seek in the dark and I swung them round and round by their arms. We did cartwheels... well I tried anyways, I couldnt even do them when I was thin. Oh and we spun and spun in circles until we fell down and just watched the world spin. I hope I am always a kid at heart. Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives - work, school, cooking dinner, bills, homework, etc. that we miss the important things. I just look at how much it lit up my kids faces for me to just stop and play with them. Nothing is more important than that.

Amanda, I am so happy you enjoyed your evening with the kids. And you are right about this needing to be something we always find time for. When our children grow up and remember us, this will always be something that comes to mind. They will remember the times you took out of your busy schedule just for them. You make me want to go home and play.

It really puts life into perspective, doesn't it?

Enjoy them as much as you can, Amanda, they will be grown and out before you have the chance to blink! And I am quite sure that you got lots of exercise! Some of my favorite memories are of the times spent playing with my sons!
