Since my last post, things have been going relatively well, I am pleased to announce. Jacob really seems to be settling in to his new 3 day a week class, and I am not getting reports of high levels of physicality any more. The bus is still an issue, but that is understandable. We have our first parent teacher conference at the end of the month, and I am looking forward to hearing his teacher's input in person. We actually haven't met with his new teacher yet, so it will be nice to chat with her.
On my end, weight loss has stalled. I spoke with my trainer last night, and we made a new plan. It was what I knew I needed to do, but for whatever reason, talking to her about it will increase my resolve :) I'm back to boxing on Tuesday nights, after a brief foray into AMP. I wish I could do 3 classes a week, but right now,it's not feasible monetarily or time wise. I've been thinking a lot about goals. One that keeps popping into my head is training to compete in a "figure"competition. I don't know if I have the time or mental fortitude to do it, but it's in the back of my head for sure. That the idea even kicks around is amazing in and of itself!
Election Day was yesterday. As I got out of the car with Jacob to vote and saw all the people around us doing the same, tears welled in my eyes. I am always moved when I see our country taking action. I wish we would all stay as active as we do on Election Day, and stay involved and invested in what is going on. The results are not what I wanted, but it's hard to say that, since neither candidate offered what I feel this country needs. This year felt like the biggest "lesser of 2 evils". I do worry about the future of this country. There are a lot of fundamental things we need to change- the way our politicians "work" for us being one of the most important. I'm sick of people who supposedly work for us not having to abide by the rules they deem appropriate for us. Ugh. I'll stop. I want to enjoy my day, not send myself into a tizzy.
Mike is well- back in school for the semester, and I think doing well. I don't know if he knows how to do it any other way. We're almost done with upstairs so we can close out our permit. Then we get to pay more taxes....yay....
My mom is still here. I think she is looking into subsidized housing, so Obama's win may end up being advantageous to us yet.
