Just ramblin'...

Hi all! Hope you're having a nice week. Here it is Wednesday already! I want to thank those of you who comment regularly here on the blog. I REALLY enjoy comments, so if you read the blog, just drop me a quick little note in the Comments section! I like to know who's out there reading...if anyone!

So, we've been busy...as usual. I thought I'd just bullet my thoughts, since I'm not feeling overly creative and "write-y" today. :)

• Bear Cub started private swim lessons yesterday. 2 summers ago, he and I did a Mommy & Me swim class and he learned so much. He had no fear...jumping into the water, swimming on his own for 5-6 feet, going under water, etc., etc., etc. Well, we were all signed up last year for more lessons, but moved before they happened. So we spent our summer just splashing around and not trying to really "swim." We're back at it now! He did fine...some crying and clinging to his teacher, but as the time went on, he calmed down and was happy to continue playing (and going underwater) for almost 2 hours after his lesson. I think we'll have a fish on our hands within the next month or so. :)

• I've been subbing in a 4-year-old classroom at BC's preschool! Tomorrow will be my fourth time and I am loving it. It feels great to be back in a classroom, working with kids and the best thing is...it's only while BC is in his class, so we're on the same schedule. It has been FUN and I'll tell ya what...those 4 & 5-year-olds crack me up!!

• On one of these non-subbing weeks, I'm going to paint our den. These white walls are getting to me...

• OH BOY! Here's a big one for ya...I'm signed up to run a HALF MARATHON in November! What the!?!?! How did that happen? Well, after a fun dinner out with my Clermont girls, we peer pressured each other into registering. Do I run? Um...no...not until about 2 weeks ago. :) Ok, ok...I did train and do a 5K about four years ago, but this is 10 EXTRA miles on top of that. Am I crazy? Maybe...but I'm excited! I'm doing a run/walk program and am feeling really good. I'm up to about 3 miles in 30 minutes. :)

• Did I tell you we joined the YMCA back in December? Well, we did and we all have been enjoying it. Six months of no gym membership was too long for me, so on top of my new run/walk program, I also do some Boot Camp classes and workout in the gym. Bear Cub happily plays in the playroom there...they have a train table set, so I'm good to go! :)

Well, that's all I can think of right now. Have a good rest of the week! Bear Cub has his final t-ball game on Saturday and he says he'd like to play soccer again. That's fine, but we'll probably wait until August or so to sign up again...right now the focus is on swimming, because I KNOW we'll spend many hours at our community pools and the beach this summer. Speaking of summer...we went from a COLD Florida winter, to maybe 2 weeks of Spring...straight into SUMMER. Hello, heat! Welcome back home... ;)
