Sorry for my absence

So sorry everyone...

    I went away to camp for the weekend so I didn't post and then yesterday I fell asleep early. On Saturday I went to camp and had a wonderful time with the Aunties, or "the Baldwin sisters" as we are now calling them. My cousin and his wife were there for the weekend as well, so we had some fun family time and then built a fire outside and sat around the campfire...One of my summer bucket list items...CHECK!
    On Sunday I finished up some housework and spent a lot of time doing research for some grants I am trying to get written. I also went grocery shopping and bought some very healthy food to cook.
    Yesterday I worked at the intake center. Is is really neat to be able to be the first teacher some of our kids meet once they enter this country. I get to set the tone for how they feel about the Anerican school sytstem. The same is true for their parents. I get the chance to explain why ELL services are beneficial for their kiddos. I love it! Last night I cooked steak and rice for dinner. The boys loved it.
   Okay..so today I went into school and did some "grunt" work that just needed doing. It was like getting a monkey off my back. I also came home and spent 6 hours working on a unit for Teachers Pay Teachers. I am determined to get some really good units put on TPT so that I can pay off my debt sooner than later.
    Oh yeah, and another thing I did was to buy a small notebook to write everything  that I spend. Beginning tomorrow I will be writing down all expenditures as well as putting all my food into Ifit. So I will let you know tomorrow what progress is being made. I am also going to weigh myself every Wed morning and charting my weight. My goal is to just lose 2 pounds a week. Let's see how that goes,. I mean I have to make some real goals or the 365 days will come and go and all I will have done is TALK about crap....
   Til tomorrow my friends.
