hump day

Max and I had a jamma day all day! The poor lady who came to the door to discuss religion RAN - not sure if it was my hair or the dogs sniffing and barking - LOL! Got some presents wrapped then unwrapped - tough to explain to a 2yr old. Hmwrk, dinner and 2nd grade music concert - sam sang his heart out! That means I didn't work tonight - Dar covered. No hints. Be rdy to work and no sissiness.

Proud of you

11 in class today and lots of news to share! Ursula found out she's having a boy (she has a daughter) - yipppeee and all looks good! It was karens bday today! I thought she was turning 50, but no 59 - awesome! Shell probably kill me for announcing that, but u know what she comes to kb class 2x a week and has since the summer. She hangs with everyone in class - never gives up - always asks questions and has great form. She should b sooooo proud of herself! Laura made it bck safely from Disney - even better the twins kept their clothes on today in the kids room! Bonnie, tressa, darlene, tod, gary, mike, mark and andrea killed it as well as the above 3. The first class in a long time ( for the morning) that talking was actually minimal. Everyone worked rlly hard - actually had 10 min to spare and took requests. We def missed haley, jeanine, aimee, anna and nikki (tues regulars)! Got the funniest email today from team chorba, aka mr. Gary - almost wrecked car from tears of laughter. Said he's been MIA cuz pretty sure bob stole his lifting gloves - can't find them so haven't been able to come. Bob headed out to buy u a new pink pair today so no excuses - long overdue promise - lol. Got a few last minute errands done for xmas - the day in a nutshell. I emailed our Holiday class schdl this am. If u didn't receive send me your email! Stay warm - stay active - enjoy the Holiday excitement!!!! Thanks for all of your support as we wind down 2008.

Got woken up (peel me off the ceiling) to the dog barking like mad. Not sure what that was all about - oh the younger one can jst set me crazy - today he did jst that - he spent a lot of time outside today - we needed a break from each other. Took the trash out, made dinner, packed lunches, etc. So nice when get stuff done early!

Monday again....

Monday again - where do the weeks go! We had a nice, uneventful weekend...got a lot done around the house including most of the Xmas decor. The outside is a little weak, but the inside turned out fairly well....I don't like a lot of clutter - Bob loves it....he would put stuff out and I would take it down as he turned around - LOl! Total opposites through and through! We had a total of 9 victims between the 2 classes - a little light, but proud of those who made the trek out in the sleet....

Good Times

Oooops forgot to post last night.....Actually was a little pooped as after class (8 in total - one newbie Denise and 7 regulars - all great as usual) I headed to Canton to get my Mom out of the house (she had a hip replacement 4 weeks ago)...We were both a little nervous (I'm big and she's limping - great combo), but all went really well - she did excellent....We went to lunch and got a couple errands done - in and out of the car with her cane and on uneven terrain....very proud of her....She was so proud of herself I had a hard time getting her back home (Bob worked from home so was able to get boys situated until I arrived - thankfully)......No nap for me is a sure ticket to an early bed time - after Biggest Loser of course!!!! We had 7 venture out in the cruddy cold rain tonight at 5:30pm and 3 at 6:30pm (2 of which have been driving from Strongsville - so very nice)! All did very well.....

It's December

Wow - what a crazy fast week - Turkey day done, December here - oh my a baby soon - where is the time going!!!! I hope everyone enjoyed time with their family and friends - we sure did! Michigan is always fun, especially for the kids....I didn't feel very well on T-day, but all in all everything went well and we made it back safely....Thank you to all of you who still supported BBOM and attended classes - we love you! Last Wednesday night got a lil Extra as Dar forgot what time class started....The circuit class T-day a.m. was a huge success and Saturday always well attended! We had 6 in the first class and 5 in the second tonight (should have been a few more, but the weather got nasty in a quickie)...thanks to those who braved the elements - craziness!
