This week has been almost overwhelming for me. It has also been a week that makes me thankful for the lifestyle change in mine and my family’s lives. A year and a half ago I know that I would not have made it through this week with out either getting sick or sleeping away my day while the kids were in school as well as my weekend.
I probably would have done both, and I would have cried a lot too with the stress because Audley was out-of-town.
This week has consisted of
*five workouts; two weightlifting sessions and three 5 mile walking/running sessions as I prepare for another 5K (one I fully intend to run the entire distance this time),
*a double-header softball game where I discovered that 41 is too old to cover home plate because you refuse to let a certain hot shot guy score against you (not that it really made a difference in the score…..),
*2 long swim meets where Bradley debuted his first competition backstroke (and finished first),
 |
| Bradley was my training partner most of the summer in the gym …. his physique is quite impressive for a 13 year old! |
 |
| Swimming a freestyle event |
*MacKenzie’s Academic Excellence awards night at the high school,
 |
| MacKenzie had the highest science grade in the school |
*a meeting with the guidance counselor to discuss MacKenzie’s graduation test results (she passed with above average marks her first time through)
{Thankfully Madeline is in her off season!!}
And this…
I finished my last chapter quizzes in my class….
Took a practice exam….
And unlocked my final exam.
As if the events of the last 14 months have not been enough, today is truly a turning point in my life.
By the end of the day I will know if I am a certified Fitness Trainer.
I’ve already had a job interview, but that is a story for another day.
Next week should be much calmer and I plan to wrap up my summer vacation series before the first day of fall arrives with our visits to Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama and a photo journal of a relaxing weekend in Palm Beach, Florida. I also have some easy (and healthy) variations of vinaigrette for you that are just perfect for autumn salads and a DIY project Audley completed for me.
Have a wonderful weekend!
