Summer Ends

Well, tomorrow it's back to work for me with an all day meeting at Calumet High School. Maverik and Jayden both start this week, and Jaecy will start her pre-school program early in September.

For teacher's this next week is almost like New Year's Eve. As a teacher walking into a new school year, I always make resolutions to try things different or avoid past mistakes. This year I am using the beginning of the school year to lose some weight. I've actually started another blog on the issue, I've labeled it THE MISSION and have it linked on the right side of the page. Hopefully the blog will be a positive reinforcement towards losing some weight. I start officially tomorrow, although I've been tracking things since last Monday.

It's amazing how quickly things change. In the last week Jayden has really taken off with sitting up and getting on his hands and knees and rocking, almost like he's thinking about crawling. These are things that he's worked on during his therapy for quite some time now, so to see even the little break trough's is very exciting!

Kari and I have been following the Cubs, the Olympics, and the Big Brother live reality show. It really sounds worse than it is, we're not really couch potatoes but once we get caught up in something we're hooked!

Recommendation of the week: I just saw the movie Deja Vu with Denzel Washington. It started off a little ENEMY OF THE STATE'ish, but it really picked up half way through and really surprised me with how caught up in it I was.

As I type this Maverik is laying next to me reading about 50% of what type. He's a pretty slick whistle! More news to come as I hear what's going on at Calumet tomorrow.
