But I still wanted to pop in and write.

Food and exercise was good yesterday.  The Firm DVDs STILLLL kick my ass after all this time.  This morning, woke up and puttered around the house cleaning a little, etc. until my yoga/pilates class.  Went to class which was great.  Came home, made lunch and we all ate outside which is always nice.  It was another BEAUTIFUL DAY.  After lunch  I went and dropped off DS6 to MBFF and picked up her DD for our slumber-swap, lol. 

Then I took the girls (and DS12) over to the farm market grocery store I like.  We got lots of produce and a treat to try - lobster egg rolls.  I baked them at home and had half - YUM!  They were great!  Then we BBQed (light!) hot dogs, corn on the cob, portabella mushrooms, and pineapples slices.  And made beans.  It was like a little buffet.  I did some more yard work, then took the kids for ice cream.  The place we went had nothing light or lowfat!  I was really surprised.  I wasn’t DYING for ice cream, so I passed.  I did take a taste of DD’s.  We took our ice cream to go and went to a nearby park/lake and we walked around the lake on the path.  It was really nice.  Got home and mowed the lawn and put together the broccoli salad for dinner tomorrow (tastes better when flavors blend overnight, IMO, but I throw the bacon in last minute.  Turkey bacon of course, lol).  And here I am … finally done!

Yesterday DS got the word he is going to be inducted into the Jr. Honor Society June 10th.  Then today, we got not one but two letters - one that he was accepted into a 8th grade Studio Art class they are offering for advanced art students next year which he will get high school credits for, and then another letter saying he meets the grade requirements and his teacher recommended him for Earth Science which also will give him HS credits.  I am super, SUPER, SUPER proud of him.  He has wanted a new (real … right now he is using prepaid) cell phone and I really think he deserves it, I really do.  But, in light of the recent loss of income with CS, I am not so sure adding another line to my plan is a great idea right now.  But I really want to get this for him.  I’m torn.

Omg … is my BABY actually going to be in 8th grade next year!?!?  As in … almost high school??  It just can’t be!  It is so weird to me … I think it is just now hitting me that he is even in middle school because it will be his FINAL year of middle school.  I worry … I was a good student too, until … oh, sophomore year of HS.  I just don’t want him to make the mistakes I did.  He is such a great kid, he has so much potential.  Okay, no sense in getting myself all worked up over something that didn’t happen yet.  He isn’t me, and more importantly, *I* am not my parents so I will be there to make sure he stays on the right path.

Was going to change the color of my toenails tonight but it is so late and I am tired, I think it will have to wait until tomorrow.  Goodnight everyone!
