I need weights at my desk. I want my under desk exercise bike. I want to do two walks tonight.

Dax got in trouble in class again yesterday. Nothing serious, he was just goofing off with his buddy in line and during independent study, he was dinking around. Mrs. Fasheh ended up putting him next to her, and had him do his sentence again. When you look at them, you would think the first one was done by a 2 year old, and the second one by a 7 year old. Night and day to say the least. My kid just needs to do his best, and he is just so excited about this school thing, he doesn’t want to spend time doing things he knows how to do. So for now, rewards are on the table and he can earn them by being good and doing well. Plus, I have him practicing sentences at home with each night of homework. I know he will grow out of this. Bobby did. It is a 5 year old kinder thing.

Oh, and the fact that he is as stubborn as his mother. LOL!

No soccer practice tonight, which I think is a good thing if only because I can take my time in getting these boys motivated on their homework. Plus, I can make dinner instead of drive thru and we can have game night again. Woo hoo!

I wonder if it would be cool to do books on audio while walking.

I hate that it is so cold in the office that I have to wear my jacket all morning. I even have my heater on. I really need those fingerless gloves. Well, and more importantly, I need some sweaters and long sleeve shirts. I don’t own enough, and most of the ones I do are too big. Hopefully I can make it through till Christmas and that I get some fun gift cards so I can update my wardrobe. Woo hoo!

I need to do another sweep of the playroom. Although as much as it seems like there is a lot in there, I think there is less than it seems. I noticed a couple of large bins are Lego only, which really, is not a big deal. But I will go through everything again and toss stuff. I may even get rid of things they might play with. Once again, it will go in the garage to make sure I didn’t get rid of anything they look for soon. Plus, I think if I get rid of a couple pieces of furniture in there, it will be better. Not sure yet. We shall see.

I found an article in the LA Times about these ceremonies in which they bury the cremated remains of people that were never claimed or their families could not afford services. They do this each year. I want to be a part of this. I feel like they should have people there paying their respects. I want to go now to pay my respects to all of the prior years, too.
