Fun with Evan....

Today I got to participate with Evan's class and read Dr. Suess books to them. The kids got to bring their blankets and pillows and we sat around and read 3 or 4 different Dr. Suess books. It was fun. The best part was how excited Evan was to have me in his class. Its nice to know that he isnt embarrassed by his mom just yet. :) I brought Addison and Soren with me since I really didnt have a choice, but that was fun too. All the little girls in the class wanted to play with Addie and Evans teacher had fun holding Soren while I read. It was a neat experience. I always love being able to do things like this with the boys. That is one reason why I work the shift that I do.....it is worth for days like today. Oh, and I guess the report cards for Evan wont be out until next week...it was a misprint.

I cut my hair yesterday....finally! I cant believe how long it had gotten. When my hair gets longer, it just gets bushy. I cant stand it. I still need to get some highlights but Im going to wait for my Vegas trip in April to do that. Anyway, I have lost 15 pounds since January. Im pretty excited about it even though I still have a long way to go. It is noticeable especially in my face. It is going to be a difficult time trying to get all of this weight off of me but Im feeling so motivated that I know I can do it by the end of the year. I go to the gym every morning at 5:30 so Im becoming a "morning person" which I never thought I would do. However, Im still struggling with going to bed before midnight.....Ive got to though or I wont last long! Last night I managed to go to bed by 10:40 which is better. Eventually
I need to be in bed by 9pm and then I will officially be an early to bed, early to rise person....Even though I do NOT like to have pictures of me taken and I especially dont post a lot of them on this blog, Im going to post my 2 face shots: the first is from January when I started my "healthier plan" (i dont want to call it a diet....because I need it to be permanent) the second taken yesterday.....I feel like you can see a difference in my face so I hope Im not dreaming! And please refrain from laughing....I know it will be hard for some of you, ha ha.

There is a noticeable difference in your face and I love the hair. Congratulations on the first 15 pounds. I have to work out early in the morning or it is not going to happen. This given, I have always been a morning person and after 8 pm I am ready to crash.
