Two weeks with no pop. And I've made it to the club twice this week. We're going again tonight. I bring the kids with me they love it their, so do I. We haven't gotten Jon to check it out yet. He says he has no interest???? I'm down 3 pounds so far. It's a start! I have to clean a house in the morning, but when I get done tomorrow we are going for a fall leave drive in Jon's moms RV. We are going down towards Iowa. And we'll be spending the night in the camper. Jon got a job offer and he is officially back to work this week. YEAH!!! I am working on my daycare policy book. It's been about a year and a half now and I am going to raise my rates. That will make me feel better. Who doesn't want a raise??? The fitness club membership cost me $75 a month. Plus I have been using their tanning beds once a week. It's $5 a time to tan. I figure my rate increase for my daycare will be about $100 a month, and it will cover my club membership and tanning once per week. It's perfect. Well I have a picture of the kids from last month when we went camping with Nate's family. Last weekend when we went out in the boat I left the camera in the car, oops. So I don't have any pictures of our boat experience.

We took the kids fishing this weekend. Hanna caught the most fish. She got to keep a big sunny, but we had to let some go back in to the lake so they could grow bigger. Jon caught a giant Bass. We're gonna eat it. We have a boat. Logan and Jon use it the most. But we got Jon to tape the Vikings game on Sunday so that we could spend the day on the lake in the boat with the kids instead. It was fun. I went to the fitness club Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for a workout. Not bad for my first week. And I have gone a full week with NO POP!!!!!!! That was hard considering that I am a 4 a day coke drinker. The kids had school picture's today. I had to put in a call to the principal this morning. Who schedules Rollerblading with a helmet on for an hour, and then Sloppy Joe's for lunch and then school pictures. Ridiculos, so after a phone call to the principal I was able to rearange Hanna's day for her. Sometimes I just don't know about these people. So anyway's I can't wait to see their school pictures. I made them take showers this morning before school. Not easy to do when you have a house full of nine kids in the morning. But thanks to Jon's help we got it done. Okay that's all for now. I'm off to change a pooooooooooooooooooooooopy diaper.

Okay, I'll put up a new post. I joined the Health Club yesturday. I took the kids to the club today and we had lots of fun in the pool. Jon stayed home to watch the Vikings of course. He can't miss a game and I can't stand to watch a game. So I guess me and the kids found something fun to do on Sundays while Jon watches his Vikings games. My plan is to go and work out 2-3 days per week. We'll see if I can do it. Nothing much else is new. Logan seems to be getting a cold now that he has started school. So many germs. Hanna had a sleep-over at her friends house the other night for a birthday party. Six girls I'm glad it wasn't at my house. That's too many for a sleep-over. She had fun.

The summer's over. I can't believe it. School started yesturday. We had a great time at the Dells. The kids were so excited for school to start. They were at the bus stop this morning at 7am alittle over an hour before the bus comes. They just couldn't wait. The house is quieter, but their are still 5 kids here all day long. So I stay pretty busy.
