Monday is such a crazy day for us a lot of the time. We're trying to catch up on housework we let slide over the weekend.  We are getting back into the school groove.  Lots of times I do some grocery shopping in the afternoon. And, both boys have Scouts.


All that happened yesterday.  And, Maddie had to babysit in the evening. That's actually not a had to but a "gets to" for her.  She loves Allie and Caroline and Jack so much.  And when they are in bed she is getting paid to read, have a soda Ms. Karin always leaves for her, and watch TV!!


Today we spent time on Astronomy and some experiments Ty was doing.  We also have a friend who has started giving us her Smithsonian Magazine after they read it and the kids were reading the current issue and writing summaries from it.  I only know that Wes wrote about the pumpkin that broke the world's record for size, I need to read all the papers now.


I've got a Women's Meeting at the church and Tom is in charge of dinner for the kids.  Lucky him, I planned enough leftovers so they don't have to work too hard.


Oh, and the best serendipity of my day? Tom and I went to Subway and split a $5 foot long for a date.  The last of the big spenders, huh?  But it was nice just to be alone and chat!


Monday's Workout:  Jessica Smith 10 Pounds Down Total Body Tune Up (cardio and high rep/low weight sculpting intervals).


Today's workout:  Amy Dixon Cardio Kickboxing Exercise TV workout (20 minutes); Amy Dixon Women's Health Perfect Body Cardio workout (20 minutes); WH Yoga Stretch (10 minutes).  After having ATT Uverse TV for nearly a year, I've discovered we get free Exercise TV workouts on Demand so took advantage of that to try the Cardio Kickboxing.   Very fun.
