Back to our routine

It has been very difficult getting back into the swing of getting up early and teaching everyday. You can definitely tell that Chase and I truly enjoyed Christmas break and we are paying for it now. When Chase returned to the babysitters on Monday, we were very happy to take his 2 barbies along. Chase was so excited to show the girls and I was excited to donated to the collection. His father is very happy that there are no longer barbies in the house.

By teaching day is very busy and right now I am not coaching anything, so it is very nice to be able to come home by 4:00 if I would like. I will coach track in the Spring and that does not start until the end of March, and that is followed up by softball. Those two sports and starting my internship will keep me busy until the end of June. My internships will last until next Winter, and next year at this time I will be looking for and administrative position.

Just recently we put a remnant in the basement, which Chase is very much enjoying. We have a great play area set up where he plays with his cars, trains, and his bike. While he plays I get to run on the treadmill. Yes, I am crazy but I can definitely tell that 30 minutes a day of running puts me in a much better mood. When I finish running, Chase then takes his turn and walks about 1 minute and that is plenty. Craig has not joined in the fun, and he tries to blame bad knees for not running. He claims that a stationary bike would be his route, so if anyone has one for sale let me know.
