my brain is melting

I seem to be having a dry spell when it comes to writing stuff for you to read. I have a few ideas, but nothing of substance at this point. So heres a quick update on whats been happening in our neck of the woods.

• Zoe's new school held some celebrations today for it's 90th birthday. Nothing too major seeing as how they held a huge 75th apparently. It was really good to see so many past students come along, gives me more confidence in the school.
• Her teacher had a little chat with me this morning while I was doing the readers. Seems she has had a chat to the appropriate teacher about getting some extension work for Zoe with her literacy. It was good to hear, I was about a week off having a chat with her about Zoe's reluctance to go to school 1 in 3 mornings because it's boring.
• She is still being a pain in the butt. Zoe I mean, not her teacher. I was so frustrated last night that I just yelled at her to shut up. I hate yelling at her, and I can't remember ever telling her to shut up. I had a chat to her about why I was so bloody cranky, and how she could change her behaviour so I wasn't quite so much the big bad witch all the time. Not sure if I got through or not, there's been some small improvement today, but we'll just wait and see.
• I went to the gym yesterday. I was shown how to use all the equipment, how to set them up to suit my size and what weight to have things on etc etc. Then I did the program. Man am I sore today! But I feel good. I'm also stronger than I thought and the instructor was impressed because I actually look so bloody puny :) The best bit? The other people doing their programs were all men. Hot men. Hot fit men. Hot fit working out their already toned bodies men. And I'm now permanently booked in at around the same time each week. I can see me 'forgetting' how to use some of the equipment and having to ask for some help in the future. If I ever ask for a reminder on why I' doing this then refer me to this post ok?!
• Yoga starts next Wednesday night. Mum and my sister are coming along as well. Should be great. I am totally loving the body balance class at gym and would like to drop the body pump one and do the balance twice a week instead. It incorporates yoga, pilates and tai chi all in one. Just awesome. The best bit? It ends with around 10 mins of guided meditation....how many gym classes do you go to where you end up totally relaxed in body and mind at the end??!
• Zoe, Shane and Maddison have their own blog. I set up an account for Jod's to sign into today so we should start seeing posts and pages before long. If you want a sneak peek before they start getting the hang of it, or just bookmark it already, click here for the link.

I'm outta here, I seriously need to play catch up on your blogs. With all the sun turning my brain into slush and me getting a life and everything, I haven't been online as much lately...but you probably noticed right?! Take care one and all....and remember -If you can't be good, be good at it.
