Our Week In Review...

After Halloween, it seems pretty boring around here. Glad to report that we are all well. Preparing for Mattie's birthday party tomorrow. She is treating several friends to a movie, returning home for pizza and cake and two little girls will be staying for the night. Wish us luck! I really think it will be a lot of fun.

I had a physical fitness "work up" done this week. It is a benefit offered to CGSC students and their spouses. I am extremely pleased with my blood work results (cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.). However, I am afraid my cardio output is lacking (too much focus on strength training perhaps?). Also, my BMI is far too high. Irritating since my weight is right on for my height. So...I am altering my eating habits and taking the family along with me. It is true that I have gotten lazy--both physically and in the kitchen. I think some of it is a normal transition to learning to balance working (writing) more and all of the other stuff required to be a mom and run a household. Some of it is just laziness.

Thoughts and prayers to the families affected by the events at Ft. Hood. I can barely even grasp what has occurred. I cannot imagine the panic that families who were separated felt and I wondered how many people had trouble getting to their children or their homes while the post was closed. So very sad. Life can change forever in an instant.
