1. Did daily bible reading first. 
2. Posted on Internet Cafe Devotions.
3. Had ugly incident with kindergarten teacher while dropping Izzy off… had to be nice.  She thought she could tell me I couldn’t stop in the handicapped drop off area.  She’ll learn. 
4. Put izzy in her kid walk twice. 
5. Watched Princess try to leave with Emelia on the school bus.  She made it up the bus steps while the kids cheered her on… Emelia brought a sad puppy back in the house.  No school for Princess.
6. Read a few pages of American History book to Amanda because her eyes were tired. Then my eyes were tired too so I stopped. 
7. Checked off all the chores on the daily chore list…
8. Made a quick trip to Walmart.  We have a love/hate relationship.  Got Amanda restocked in smart ones and skinny dippers (for weight watchers… she lost 6.6 pounds last week!)
9. Made a delicious pot of spaghetti & sauce.  Started with chicken breasts, green peppers, mushrooms, garlic and italian sausage… sauteed in olive oil with italian seasonings and then added jar of prego and large can of petite diced tomatoes.  Added freshly grated parm at the end.  It was delish over ww pasta.
10. watched American Idol.
11. Got beat by Gail (again) on fb scramble! ugh
12. picked up new books at library to read.  First in line… the face by Angela Hunt. Read it anyone? Uncharted was really good and one of those books that sticks with you after you read it.  I can see why Gail recommended it.
13. Chatted with Julie on the phone.

Here are a few pics of Iz in the kid walk today…

The first one is kinda funny because she was working to get her head out. 

It was a crazy busy day! I stayed at school with Izzy while we tried out the kid walk and then went to lunch with mom and my neices for my neice Candace’s birthday.  It was fun chatting with them!  If I keep having so many lunch outings I’ll have to check into diet pills! My good friend Mendy was in town for the afternoon and she dropped by the tea room and rode with me to run an errand.  Later tonight I’ll unload the kid walk and let izzy show off for everyone.

I’m happy to report that my back is 99.9% better!  Thanks for all your sweet thoughts and prayers.  I am not sure what happened, but am guessing I pinched a nerve (this is based on my honorary doctorate degree btw)…  I downloaded a new household chore chart and am loving checking things off and knowing where I am at.  I also love that there are daily/weekly/and monthly things to do.  I have offered to all the kids that if they do a weekly item and check it off they get a dollar, two dollars for a monthly item.  Yep, I’m so generous but they live here too!   

Best news yet!  Izzy’s kid walk is in and being delivered TODAY!  I can’t wait.  I’m going to have to get the Canon camera out and ready to go!
