Happy Bacon Day

Yesterday was Bacon day- Happy Bacon Day! This was Joseph's decree. Today was egg day- mainly because Rob told him that we couldn't possibly have sausage day right after bacon day! Here is a schedule that Joseph made up, in case you need it. I know everyone would love to follow us in our breakfast day week!

I decided to take a minute and blog, since I have no time to exercise. I have to go visiting teaching at 10 am. Then I have to go get my kids at 12 (today being a half day) and then talk with Joseph's teacher about some concerns she has. Of course these have nothing to do with his academics; which are fine. {insert a very long loud sigh here} I am assuming this has to do with his Dr. Dorian impressions. Joseph is 3/4 of the time in his own little dream world. I have no doubt that if he actually paid attention once in a while instead of dreaming about zombies attacking that he would be in the gifted program. I am dreading that there is more than just this, though, since she said, "some concerns." I just hope he hasn't been looking up any little girls' dresses!
After the conference I have someone coming to my house to scrapbook for 2 hours before we head off into our "it's Wednesday, we are never home on Wednesday's" adventures- piano lessons, cub scouts, YW's, and some weeks I have activity day girls (luckily we get to skip that one this week!!)
Although, I doubt I would be able to exercise even if I wanted to. I am determined to see myself in a cast before the week is out. This is what I have done in less than 24 hours. I have twisted my ankle in step class so bad that it still hurts today (granted, after giving myself a minute I continued to workout on it), I slipped on a silky blanket as I was rounding the corner on our wooden floor and hit my arm so hard on counter that I almost fainted twice while trying to deal with it. Luckily, fainting is something I am used to after 30 some years of doing it. I have low blood pressure and if I hurt myself, get up too quickly, etc. I will faint. I have learned to recognize when it is coming on and like one of those antebelum ladies, I lie down on a couch and sip water. I was sure I had broken my forearm for a little while, but it seems to have come out Ok. I then rammed my little toe against the leg of a stool and cracked my knee on the van door. I am now limping around my house like some kind of a gimp! Pathetic! Especially since most of it was done on my birthday! Happy- old enough to find a white hair in my head-day!

Emma also celebrated her 13th birthday! So far,(excuse me while I knock on wood) Emma has been a relaxed, easy going teenager. Robert was very sweet and got us some beautiful flowers, chocolate domes (They taste almost as good as they look!), and some cheesecake. I had also made Emma chocolate cake- which she asked for. Now you understand why I really, really need to exercise!!

Emma's favorite gift- a snuggie! Maybe she'll stop leaving her blankets everywhere she's been if she is wearing it!!
