Trying new things

Yesterday was an eventful day. First Ray and I took this exercise class at the Y called DRUMMING. (Yes I am still in the quest of a more toned less body) Drumming consist of a large exercise ball , drum sticks and a very enthusiastic instructor. It was a blast. Ray's shirt was soaked with sweat so it did the job for him.
After that I had my first substitute job, 7th grade Spanish. I luck out and knew the "cool" girl from swimming so it set the tone I was a human, not a thing to be tested by the wilds of 13 year olds.
Then Ray and I finally had a conference with Conlan's teacher. I have been trying to get the ladies attention for 2 weeks finally after a visit with the asst. principal I got acknowledge. Conlan's teacher is a year from retirement and is very stuck in her ways. I knew I wasn't going to change her, but I was hoping for a little tiny budge. NO CAN DO! I am going to try the back door approach to get what I want ,go thru the speech therapist, and not waste my time trying to move a mountain.
Last night Colleen went to swimming and I did my regular Wednesday step class. My thighs are still screaming. My body was yelling at me that we only exercise two or three times a week ,not twice in one day!
This morning the kids went to morning practice. AS hard as it is to get up that early all three seem to enjoy it, plus today Conlan's best buddy was swimming so life was great. Tonight is the last night of football practice, since it is raining they called to say it was going to be in a gym for only an hour. YIPEE!! Life will be a bit easier once football is over. Once less place to be three days a week.
