Hi All Peach, thanks for your nice email of yesterday, and also, your telephone attempt and your texting. My phone was lurking in my gym bag for a few hours until I realized I didn't have it.
We got K1's high school parking permit for MY car yesterday - that involved filling out forms and paying $25 per year. Seniors have to pay by the semester, because they have a lottery for limited better parking each semester. Then we had to go to our insurance agent for an hour and watch a safe driving video for half an hour (we saw/heard gory teenage accident footage and stories, told by teen survivors - not actual mechanics-of-driving tips) and she had to read a booklet and take a test that took a half hour. This entitled us to get an insurance discount.
K3 has play practice today. In this year's play, she has quite a number of speaking lines - also singing and dancing, etc. She is loving it, and she is still loving the martial arts - but she didn't go yesterday, because for some reason she can't tolerate the Monday class (she won't tell me why - I don't notice anything different about it). Maybe on Monday a kid comes, who she doesn't really care for, or something. Anyway, she'll still be going maybe double the minimum they ask, so I'm fine with her vetoing a specific day each week. She is good about taking the Monday class if there are too many play rehearsals calling for her character to be in attendance, on the other weekdays.
K2 is doing nothing except playing Call of Duty - ha ha. He does his homework and gets straight As. He procrastinates starting his homework until mid evening, like his older sister gets away with. He also goes on Facebook somewhat, and I heard him telling K1 his [large] number of friends. I don't think he's sucked into FB anywhere nearly as bad as the high school girls. (Yet?!) He does well in his PE classes, but nothing more. I keep inviting him to my gym for either cardio or weights. He tricks me sometimes and says he's finally psyched to start at the southwest YMCA, so he'll be ready for spring Pony - then he'll change his mind again. I actually believe he doesn't mean to deceive me, but he lets himself get psyched out by his perceived inadequacies.
I am so tired. I've been trying to work out every day of November except Thanksgiving - well, weights, for sure. I'll give myself days off, or easy days, in cardio - because my knees, etc., develop built-up pain and tiredness. I also haven't been sleeping much - 3 hours at a time for the past half week, and not much more than that, usually. I have the opportunity to sleep, but my mind won't let itself relax, or something. I hope you've been getting enough sleep. I know you often skimp on the sleep you need, in favor of the boys' needs, work, etc.
All my love, 90hazelnut
