Busy life... busy wife!!!

Yes! I realize that the blog is called "No Excuses" so I don't really have any to offer as to why I have neglected blogging for almost two weeks now! The school year is winding down and I am looking forward to summer vacation! Woohoo!!! Along with that I am excited for more family time and "me" time.

In an attempt to keep moving, I have been running around with my students at school. There is this game they like to play called "grounders" and they asked me to play along with them. Normally, I stand on the sidelines and supervise their activities outdoors. Some times they come to me to chat with me, but usually they go about playing their games until I call them in. I was glad they wanted to include me so I asked them to tell me the rules so I could play along. They had these convoluted rules and I tried to keep up. One of them was if you are "it", which I became at one point, you have to keep your eyes closed... even when you are on the "big toy" (aka the play structure"). I had a fun time and was glad when my cool points went up a few notches! Next up I will play tag!!!

Last weekend, we enjoyed the glorious weather by going to White Rock and taking a walk before dinner. It was a fun stroll, but I think the dinner at Uli's afterwards negated any calories burned off... and then some!


The new goal now is to add more vegetables to every meal. So that makes TWO goals:

1. Keep moving, at least a half hour activity daily.
2. Add MORE veggies to every meal.

Now for my mommy-ism...
Last weekend, my son says to me, "Mom, I know it's not Mother's Day any more, but you and I can still celebrate it every day!" and then gives me a kiss... he sure knows how to sweet talk his mom!
