Saturday

What a great morning! I just created my blog and am going to get ready to go out to breakfast with my sister, Kelly. Hopefully my niece, Faith, will join us, too. Caleb is getting ready to go to work at 9am. He is struggling getting moving this morning. Will probably need to rush out of here before he even has time for some breakfast or coffee. I think he stayed up late last night on the computer.

My healthy living update: Cena & I went for a 10 minute walk this morning around the neighborhood. Not a long or strenuous walk, but it sure felt good to get this started.

Evening Update: Today went by waaayy too fast. I had a great breakfast with Faith & Kelly. I always love catching up on what is going on in Faith's life. It just amazes me how grown up she has gotten to be. She is truly a beautiful young woman on many levels. It makes me happy to know that our relationship just continues to grow as she has gotten older. Caleb worked until 2:30 pm and then he begged to take the car to the mall tonight with his friend Jordan. I struggle with Caleb's relationship with Jordan, but then I am always so happy to know that Caleb wants to get out of the house. That poor guy has had a rough 2009 so far. I gave in & let him go to the mall on one condition. That he buy some new jeans! And, of course, I gave him strict instructions on what jeans he could use the money I gave him for - they had to be "normal" & blue or black. Those readers who know Caleb would expect him to come home with some outlandish bright yellow jeans :). Isn't it funny that I had to force him to buy some new clothes - such a funny teenager. So, here I sit worrying about him again for the 2nd night in a row. Let's hope that he makes it home by his 9pm curfew without any incidents. I had coffee with a coworker with disabilities and her mom this afternoon. We were meeting because of work reasons (won't go into details - confidential), but we ended up spending an extra 1/2 hour talking about all the fun new things we are going to try. I feel very blessed to have had the experiences I have had working with this family & am excited to see where the rest of 2009 goes with some of the great things we might do. As for the rest of my night, just hanging out doing laundry and catching up on my taped shows. Probably watch Lost and Heroes tonight - yipee!

Healthy Living Update: Cena & I took another 10 minute walk after supper. What a funny dog - he gave me the "do we seriously have to do this again??" look when I put the leash on him. He hates to do this as much as I do. I made some ok healthy food choices today. Of course, Kelly & Faith know what I ate for breakfast, so they may disagree! Otherwise, I haven't snacked much and ate smaller meals for the other two. I'll have to try hard to not snack during TV time tonight - definitely my weak spot.
