Keep trudging along

Well, I'm finding it harder to get in some exercise than I'd hoped it would be. My schedule just keeps me hopping.

I found out last night I'm going to be the wolf cub den leader. If I'm going to be there for an hour on Monday nights, I might as well do something. Justin is the den chief for the Webelos scouts, and even though it's close by, it doesn't really pay to go back and forth for the hour. I honestly have no idea how people with more than one child do it all. With cub scouts on Monday, boy scouts on Tuesday and church class on Wednesday, not to mention his once or twice a month weekend excursions, I'm always running around. The dog has me busy with training on Thursday for the next 8 weeks. We're re-taking the intermediate course because I just don't feel we really got that much out of it.

I just found out we made our bonus goal for the 3rd quarter. This is the first quarter I qualify for since I started toward the end of the last one. That's exciting news since it will pay out shortly after my vacation and before I need Christmas money. It's not going to be much of a Christmas. Mom is already dreading Thanksgiving. We always went to Ryans (a buffet place for people who don't live near one) for Thanksgiving. Now, with that being one of the last things we did as a family with my Dad, she won't go. He went last year but was getting really sick then and really none of us wants to re-live that. So I guess we'll be starting new traditions, I'm just not sure what they are.

Anyway, I'm still keeping on with my food plan. Things are going ok. I'm putting yesterday behind me and moving forward.
