An Excellent Week!

The week isn't even over, but tomorrow is Friday so that is just one more thing to be happy about!

After a rough couple weeks with Toby and then making the decision to let him go live with another family (best decision we could have made), this week turned into one of the best ones I have had in a very long time!

Some of the highlights:
-Getting back to my normal routine...post dog.
-Kendall decided this would be a great week to start going in a "big girl" potty
-We did our taxes and let's just say we jumped for joy!
-Thanks to tax returns, we are planning our trip to Vegas in May
-I had my formal observation for school yesterday and got a great evaluation. My field supervisor went out of his way to call me last night to give me one of the best compliments a teacher could get..."The qualities I saw in you today can't be taught."  He says he has seen everything he needs to see already and will recommend me any day!!
-My Internal Review Board Application finally got approved so I can start this dang MAT project!
-I am down at least 4 pounds since the 2nd of January and at least 2.5% body fat.

This all sounds so "me me me" but I've needed a week like this to make me realize that everything I do, day in and day out, has a purpose and I AM making progress!! Regardless of gray skies and rain...my life is all sunshine baby!!!

Nathan

While Nathan bathes, we often rhyme or some play with words. Tonight we were naming things in bathroom that starts with the letter 'T.' Simple enough...but had no idea this would happen...
Nathan: "TITS! Ya, tits!"
(Me hunched over laughing and playing stupid) "What are those?"
Nathan: "Its short for Texas."

Thanks for clarification buddy.

Car ride home tonight, just me and Nathan.

Nathan: "Mom when can we move to Redmond so I can take karate with Maggie. Or even move to Sisters. They look like they have nice food there. But when can we got to France?"

Me (trying to keep up with his thought process): "Why do you want to go to France?

Nathan: "They don't have dessert there so we can live there and eat healthier. And like we had a fridge in our room at GreatWolf but it didn't really have food in it. Just water bottles and old people food."

This is where he lost me until he says...

"When I take karate I'll be able to beat peoples fat butts like yours. Yep, you have a fat butt." THANKS KID!
