Such a slacker I am!!!



I admit I have not been a faithful blogger, but I am a faithful reader of all my girls blogs:) Anyways there have been many new things going on with the Brooks family....I will start with my sweet little Jaycee starting school. She really loves it! They do arts and crafts, music, go on walks in bye-bye buggies, special time with the pastor, and lots of there little activities. I usually drop her off at like 8 and she stays till about 2:30. That gives me time to work out, run errands and give me some much needed me time.


I found out James will be coming home for R&R in November..which was a little sooner than we had anticipated but that is fine with us. We have a few things planned like me and him going to a nice hotel either in San Antonio or Houston for a night or two, doing some fun activities as a family and just letting him relax some. I am going to put up the Christmas tree up early this year so he can enjoy that. We will probably do Thanksgiving and Christmas combined. I cant even express how happy I am that he going to be home.


October 7th is my anniversary and its going to be such a sad day to spend without my James but heck maybe we celebrate it in Nov. like everything else! Hahaha. Also in October my best bud from high school and her family are going to Disney World so Jaycee and I are going to tag along. I think it will be lots of fun! We are going to have breakfast with the princesses and all that other good stuff you get to do at Disney.


I have finally started working out again! I have been running 2 miles, doing crunches, flutter kicks, and running stairs. It feels so nice to be getting back into shape. I have also been eating better and no more mountain dew! Instead of mountain dew I take a bottle of water and put about a half pack of that crystal light stuff in it and shake it like crazy:) It only has like 5 calories which is soooo much better than my mountain dew that has like 170! If you ladies got any ideas of what I can add to my workout routine pass it my way...I could use some extra ideas so it doesnt get boring.

Wow, your workout routine sounds great. I can't wait to get back in the gym myself. I'm glad you are getting a little time for yourself while Jaycee goes to school. We all need that time or our sanity pays the price.

It's about flippin' time! lol You'll be fine with your workouts. You are still VERY young and you'll spring right back into shape. You'll probably be able to get right where you want to get by the time James comes home.
I am happy he's coming sorta' in the middle of some really important dates. I never thought of that. That's just wonderful. Now if Feb would get here. :-)
