I think I'm a wimp because it's been in the upper 80s for much of March and April.  When I got up today it was 42 and it only got up to about 66.  It was 65 degrees in my house~I set the heat on 67 in the winter, lol. Tonight the heat goes on as the temps are dipping into the upper 30s the next two nights.


Actually, though, it's been a lovely day.  True to form, March came in like a lamb so it went out like a lion and we've had a good bit of wind here in April~nothing like the wind tunnel that is Central Kentucky where my folks live though. Enough breezes to keep your hair messed up! ;)


Today I actually had a Cheri day, which was nice.  I went to Goodwill and got a great English Grammar book for Tyler's 6th grade year next year~looks new.  $2.50.  I :heart: Goodwill. I went to the grocery and bank, etc.  And, I got in a nice workout in the morning before getting ready to meet my friend for lunch.  She had to move it to tomorrow so I walked Tucker this afternoon and tacked on the 20 minutes of pilates I intended to do this morning but ran out of time to do.   Okay, truly, I slept in until 8am and that threw me off.  No regrets~I'm going to do that tomorrow too!


We have a church dinner and program tonight and sometime tomorrow Tom will meet my mother in law to get the kids.  I know they've not been gone long but it's been quiet without them and I do miss them.


Today's workout:  Leslie Sansone Just Walk:  1 mile as a warm up; Trudie Styler's Warrior Yoga.  PM:  1 Mile walk with Tucker; Lower Body Pilates, Thigh section.

What a crazy, wonderful weekend.  Church on Thursday, Friday, and, of course, Resurrection Sunday.  Sunday afternoon my in laws all came up and we had a picnic dinner at Berry College.  Mary Madison went to Atlanta that night and yesterday the boys had scouts so worked around the house with us during the day, got haircuts, etc.  Today we met Pat, my mother in law, in Cartersville to drop the boys off with her.  Tom and I had lunch together and then came home in time for the termite inspection. Yes, you heard that right.  Termites were found in the church so the Trustees wanted the parsonage inspected. We passed, yippee!


Tomorrow I'm having lunch with a couple of church friends and dinner at church. Thursday sometime we'll pick up the kids and then we have co-op on Friday. So much for a peaceful spring break, huh? :)

Yesterday I sat in the orthodontist office for two plus hours.  It was nuts in there.  But, I got to catch up on some reading on my Kindle. And, we found out Wes is getting his braces off on May 8. He's asking for Bacon, Skittles, Popcorn, Peanuts, and all the things he hasn't been allowed to eat for dinner that night. ;)


Maddie and Ty got home and their friends hung out for a bit.  Maddie's friend went to church with us and spent the night.  She went to another friend's today and Maddie will see her at a picnic tomorrow.


Today I got my shopping done for Easter Sunday dinner~my in laws will be here for an early dinner around 4.  Maddie made a double layer heart shaped cake for the meal. We also went to our Good Friday Service, which I always love.  It ends in silence and darkness and is very moving.


Once I filled out our homeschool attendance on Wednesday, I realized we can take extra days off so we started our Spring Break yesterday. We're very excited to have a week off next week as well.


Yesterday's workout:  Ellen Barrett Fat Burning Fusion; 1 mile walk with Tucker; Gentle Yoga in the evening

Just so happy to be a Kentucky Wildcat fan. 14 years is a long time between Championships.  Wes had a great time watching the game and I had fun peeking through my fingers. ;)


Today Maddie went and had her follow-up contact appointment.  I picked up 6 months of my lenses and we ordered hers.  The kids also got their school work and chores done.  Maddie and Tyler left to go to Chattanooga to visit their friends and now Tom and Wes are watching the Women's NCAA Championship game.  Tomorrow I get a day off (except for school with Wes and grocery shopping) and Thursday Wes has an orthodontist appointment.  Then, of course, shopping for Easter dinner prep, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday.  God is good to bless me with people to love and work to do, isn't he?


Today's workout:  10 Pounds Down Weight Loss Cardio Mix (cardio, total body toners (body weight exercises), yoga stretch); 1 mile walk with Tucker at 7:30.  I like walking early much better since it's cooler.  Now I'm off to do Crunch Pick Your Spot Pilates, Abs and Yoga for Stress Relief, shoulders.

Getting ready for the big National Championship game tonight, woo hoo!  Very excited and very nervous~typical Cheri, lol.


Today was nuts.  I got the kids up early and they pounded out their school work.  Then it was on to cleaning the house a bit~dusting and bathrooms.  Tom was preaching at a Community Wide Service at First Baptist downtown at noon so we went to that next. Thank goodness they served lunch.


After we got home and took Tucker for a walk, Wes, Maddie and I headed across town to the bank and the theater.  They're watching The Hunger Games with some friends from our homeschool co-op. I buzzed by Sam's for a few things, got some gas in the car, and Tyler and made sandwiches, etc. so he and his dad could eat after his soccer practice on the way to his scouts.  At 6:45 I'll pick up Wes, get a burger for him and for Maddie, drop him off at scouts at 7, come home and prepare to watch (or hide my eyes) from the game at 9:20.  I'm gonna be honest here and say I probably won't get up before 7:30 tomorrow. ;)


In the midst of these busy days, I'm so glad God is with me.  I really have felt his presence today and I know a lot of is carving out that time EARLY to just be with him.  Thank you Father, for the gift of intimacy.  If my kids catch anything from their mom, may it be my passion and love for you, borne solely of yours for me.  You are SO good to me.


Today's workout:  Denise Austin Hot Body Yoga, workout 1; Ellen Barrett Pick Your Level Weightloss Pilates.  I'm doing yoga and pilates for my strength training this month and am really looking forward to doing something different than my usual weights.

Spent yesterday getting a haircut and hanging out with Tyler at a campout for his Boy Scout Crossover.  Kentucky won their semifinal game so it's on to the Championship tomorrow night. I sure hope the fans act better than they did last night in Lexington. I hate it when a few people give an entire group a bad name.


Saturday's workout:  walking at the camp trip; Winsor Lower Body Pilates, Thighs
