I have to admit I'm looking forward to back to school this year. The summer went by quickly and I was focused on trying to get myself back to Jen mode (ie mentally, physically) and am finally there.
I'm looking forward to this time for new goals, new plans,a chance to be more organized and to he happy! This summer wasn't completely out of our routine since lex attended summer school, so bedtimes for us and waking up early are the norm. What I'm really hoping to accomplish is to be more of top of things. Lots of September goals to maintain with my schedule and lex's schedule!
1. Blog again...I loved reading about the things we've done in the past and I want to take a dedicated hour to recap our week. This past weekend we had an amazing 75 degree day in Georgetown on the waterfront. Alexa was a perfect angel people watching with Michael and I while we daydreamed of what type of yacht we will buy and what we will name it ( ha--- the jenny, of course). It was such a perfect little family day for me with the two people who make me laugh the most. I also love to watch Lex and Michael interact because they have a very unique relationship where one teases the other, especially Lex. If one of does something "wrong", we get "a warning" which is a smack in the bum. Lex LOVES to give warnings for no reason and it always makes us giggle.
2. Implement some more teaching strategies for lex. I met a teacher in the locker room at lifetime who gave me some good ideas for keeping lex organized and focused. One way is to set a timer for her to finish her homework without getting distracted. Big time importante for my kiddo with adhd. Another thing I've done this year is to create a homework supply holder where all the items (crayons, a set of scissors, glue sticks, pencils, markers, eraser) must always stay in there and return to their home spot.
3. My workouts! Need to keep up my momentum that I started in June-- 13 lbs down and 10 more to go before I leave for china October 16! I can do it if I am prepared and organized!!
4. Sleep, since I've been going to bed at 10, I just feel better!
That being said, nighty night!
Tomorrow will be a new post summarizing our fun, summer!
