Great Day at school!

Yes!!! The kids are back in school. The first thing Simon said when he got in the car was "Mom, I didn't have to go to the office to calm down or anything!" I know I didn't get a phone call all day. That was huge.

What a quiet day it was. I went to my office to see what I could get into. The first thing I did was plug in my "Sun Box". This is a box with a very intensity light that you sit in front of. It helps give you the energy to get through the day when the days are so dreary. It really works. One time years ago my Mom and I used one that a friend had loaned her. Then we both went to work later. Mom called me and asked me if I felt any different. I told her no, but I was doing things I never liked doing or things I would put off doing because I didn't like to do them. Then a few days later we realized it was the light. If you sit in front of it too late in the day, you would be awake all night. So you have to do it early in the day. So anyway I decided that I would start trying to sit in front of it again.

I managed to bind a quilt and some tax paperwork. So I felt pretty good in getting things done.

Sydnee had a chiropractor appt. Her back has 3 curves in it. So we are going to try to see if it will move at all in a month.

On our way home we checked out Upward basketball for the kids. They did the soccer program once when they were younger, so I thought we may try it again. I won't know until tomorrow which night the practices are on. It mainly depends on that since they are both in scouts. They would really like to play. And both are pretty good at it too. So I think they would do well.

Are we going to get any snow yet or not? I am tired of rain and want some white stuff. Woke up this morning disappointed when I didn't see anything.

I have a retreat this weekend and can't wait. Except for the fact that I don't have a sitter on Saturday yet. So that is going to cause me a problem.

Last night Simon had cub scouts. They are planning a ski trip for them on the 16th. Simon is so excited he can't wait. They will get a one hour lesson, snacks and then they can go skiing or tubing. I am sure I will be sore after that.
