first day of school

Well, my girlies are off to start another year at school. They were very excited this morning and had no trouble getting ready. We carefully picked out our outfits last night, all the way down to socks and shoes and jewelry choices. They ate quickly, brushed their teeth and hair, and were standing out at the end of the driveway waiting for the bus in record time. I am so excited for them and hopeful that another school year will be fun and challenging for my little girlies.

Personally, I am so very sad. My treadmill cannot be fixed! The belt has torn so far this time that it cannot be reattached. No more super glue, hot glue, or staples will bring it back to life. I have been running outside with a friend this summer preparing for a 4 mile race that is in 2 weeks. But when the weather turns colder, I am going to miss that treadmill. I hope that I will be able to get another one soon so I don't use that as an excuse not to exercise. I know the running/walking I do on the treadmill is good for my heart and my stress level. I feel better after I exercise even though I really don't "love" exercising. Maybe I'll be able to find a part time job very soon to help pay for such an expense. I would like a treadmill that has programmed routes/circuits this time. One that automatically speeds up, slows down, does hill intervals, etc. depending on which plan you choose. I haven't researched them much lately but I think I will start, so I'll be ready when we have the money to splurge on a new one. Wish me luck and if you know anything about treadmills, please share!
