2009 - 2010 School Books Arrived

I was so excited last night when the UPS guy showed up to my house. He had two huge boxes from K12.com that had Zachary's school books in them. I started opening them up and was excited about some of the subjects like Health, P.E, and Art. However, when I came to the science I laughed. The little readers that came with it looks really neat however, the textbook is the same textbook that we did last year. So, I don't know how that is going to work if I have to ask Zachary to re-read the same textbook that he read last year. I also looked at the math and it was way below Zachary's level. He ended last year working on high level multiplication, division and fractions and many more. This book starts with adding 5+5 and then teaching how to add w/carrying, subtract with borrowing, beginning mulitplication, beginning division, beginning measurements and so forth.

I haven't looked at the Language Arts stuff so I don't know what level it is compared to what level Zachary was doing last year. I did look at the Social Studies book and it is the next grade level that we have at the house that we looked and read some in last year to get Zachary ready for the 2nd grade CBE's.

I don't know who Zachary's teacher wil be yet but when I do I will have plenty to discuss with her/him. What do we do with his Science and Math? Hopefully I will find out soon who his teacher will be and we can beginning to start dealing with these issues.

A New Me!

Per someone's request they want to know updates. These updates will be short and to the point.

So, here is update 1. I have lost 2.4 pounds the past week. I have lost a total of 7 pounds if I go back to when I started losing weight.

A New Me!

Ok, this is going to be a very honest post. It is time for a New Me! I am 50 pounds overweight. Yes, you heard me 50 pounds. I currently weigh more than I have ever weighed in my entire life (except for when I was pregnant but that doesn't count). I currently weigh 202 pounds. The idea weight for me is 150 pounds. So, I have 52 pounds to lose. How am I going to do this you may ask? Well, with a lot of hard work. I joined Weight Watchers last Thursday. I have done this several times but the one time that I got serious I lost 30+ pounds. So, I know this program works. I have joined a boot camp that meets Monday, Wednesday, and Thurday at 6:00am and last for 45 min. I plan on walking, swimming or weight training on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. I have a friend that is doing atleast the WW with me too and is keeping me accountable. I also have giving this to the Lord. I have prayed about this and fasted about this and I know that it is going to work b/c He is going to help me. I don't care about getting skinny but what I do care is about my health and how I am a role model for my children. I have to love myself and take care of myself so that I may take care fo my family.





So, there it is out. I have stated everything.

Here is a before shot w/my precious little girl. That fat face is history!
