It's been a good week...

I went to MOPS!

Can you believe it?  We really had a meeting this week! There was finally no snow or ice on a Wednesday, and we were finally able to get together. 

But...there has been a problem getting childcare help this year, and we all have to help with the children at times.  This was my turn. To be honest, I was bummed when I was told it was my turn (I'm bad, I know).  I had to work the first half of the meeting because the second half we were doing a craft (making bracelets) that I needed to help out with.  So, I ended up in with the 3-6 yr olds, and I must admit it, it was really a lot of fun!  It is SOO cute to see the little ones singing praise songs & dancing all around.  I enjoyed it after all  :)

I missed (aka was too lazy to get up) my exercise class on Tuesday, but went yesterday and I am super sore again.  Our instructor mixed it up a bit, and I liked the new stuff even better!  It feels good to be a little sore, then I know I am getting somewhere.  I need to add some cardio in now, and just need to figure out what works for me.  I was going to try a spin class this am, but again just could NOT get myself up.  That makes me feel bad, because the days that I have made myself get up, I feel great once I do, but it is REALLY hard to get out of bed at 5:30.  Really, really hard!  So, lets hope next week I can add in the cardio & get some weight loss going :)

I finished my latest read ~ The Pact (another by Jodi Picoult) that I picked up at the library.  Come to find out, she is a featured author this month, so most of her books were out, but I really enjoyed this one.  I have ordered my next one from Amazon, and I am hoping it will be here Monday or Tuesday.  I know I have already said it, but she is amazing, so I am sticking with her for now.  I may just read every book she has written  :) From looking at her site there are 14 listed, and I have read 4 already in the last month, LOL!

Yesterday it was GORGEOUS & warm here again.  The temp was in the 60's, so we picked up the kids after school & headed to the park.  It was such a nice change, it felt great to get out again. We grabbed a snack, and ended up staying out until dinner time.  We all enjoyed ourselves so much, and it was great to be out of the house.  It is funny,there are still piles of snow everywhere (remember we had a foot fall just 5 days ago...LOL) yet everyone is outside in short sleeves enjoying the SPRING weather!

Tonight we had a family movie night and watched "Nanny McPhee"  I guess I was the only one enjoying it because everyone else was asleep (including Harry).  I thought it was a very cute movie though, and I ALWAYS love a happy ending :)

I'm looking forward to a nice weekend, with a little down time.  Not too much planned, but a few things to enjoy, one is a girls afternoon on Sunday, which I know will be a good time!

I haven't gotten around to reading any of Jodi Picoult's books yet. I've been reading Anita Shreve lately. Jodi will likely be next after I finish the last one of Shreve's books that I have on hand!
