Tuesday Afternoon Brain Dump
- We are wrapping up our school year. We’ll be done at the end of this week. “Done” is kind of a relative term. I think we’re still going to work on math and handwriting a couple of times a week. Ethan has switched to Singapore Math and it looks like it will be lots of fun! Audrey is having fun working on learning her letter sounds. Once we add a vowel sound, we’ll be soooooo close to reading actual words. Woot!
- The weather has been in the mid-80′s. Today it’s only 75. I’m enjoying the days that we don’t need to use the central air. On Friday it looks like a high of 92 is in the forecast. Perfect timing for the opening of the pool. We are very excited about that!
- I’m counting the days until my birthday (it’s soon!).
- Isaac’s will be 3 on June 3rd!
- Nathan is having supper with Dave (THE Dave!) and a handful of other people hired around the same time. I can’t wait to hear how it goes.
- I’ve been struggling with my eating and my weight. At the beginning of May I was up 12 pounds from a year ago and a year ago I was about 10 pounds more than I wanted to be. If my math is correct, that means I have about 22 pounds I would like to drop. Staying motivated has been hard. Afternoons and evenings are times I want to graze constantly. I’m working on having more good days than bad ones. I think I’ve lost 3.5 pounds this month.
- Nathan recently wrapped up a web development project and I volunteered him for a new one.

THIS IS THE OTHER DAVE
Nathan you are a great addition to any team you are on–BUT it looks like you are doing a super job of family man== what a great helpmate you have
keep up the good work
I’ll make sure Nathan reads your comment, Uncle Dave!
How exciting your life sounds. I know you are looking forward to the pool opening. Hard to have it right there and the weather warm and not be able to jump in!
I’m working on my weight again, too. I’ve had an awful winter. So I have about 30 lbs. to lose now. Grrrr… But yesterday was a good day and so was today and it is almost over. 2 days in a row is actually quite an accomplishment for me. I’ll pray for your weight loss, too. I didn’t know you were struggling because I thought you looked great when we were down, but I know we all want to look better than we currently do!
Apparently, I suck in my stomach well! Ha! I understand the celebration of having two good days in a row. Today will be day 1 if I’m good for a few more hours.
You will be able to take the weight off, Amy. YOu are one determined lady with an awesome support staff. Your family is awesome. We can’t wait to see you. Get ready for your birthday.
Thank you, Jean! I appreciate the confidence you have in me. I hope you get assigned to 2nd grade next year. I would love to teach that grade alongside you
