How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: I had a deadline. Up until now, I was applying to become a substitute teacher in hopes of eventually becoming a real teacher. However, I was able to get another job which didn't require me going back to school. YAY! So, I received some help with my resume. When I got the job, it forced me to fill out all these forms. TADA! =) Read how I did it…
It made me
relieved
How I did it: I called around to all the daycares in my area. They were all comparable. An arm and a leg! I just took the first available & closest to my house. You gotta do whatchya gotta do! Read how I did it…
It made me
blah 
How I did it: It took me forever! I found out that I don't like doing this, and I'd rather be doing something else. Everything seems premade. It's cute and all, but just not me. I pretty much all digital now. I'll get around to organizing my photos after I scan them. Read how I did it…

5 days in a row
3 months ago
I worked out 5 days in a row at the gym! I joined in May, but I have not really used it. This week I worked with a trainer 3 times (part of a package deal), and even though it’s totally amazing to work with a trainer, it’s too expensive to do all the time. I’m so sore and probably overdid it today. I have the worst headache. I’m probably dehydrated, and it’s taking a while to get back to normal. Anyway, in September I start working out with a group of people 3 times a week. It’s 2 strength training sessions and one cardio per week. It’s a twelve week program. I’ll fill in the gaps with the treadmill or neighborhood walk/jog.
Good luck everyone! =)
back on track!

I signed my daughter up for Girls on the Run again. We completed a 5K in May, but this fall we both hope to run more than walk. She asked me if I will be able to keep up with her, and I told her I’m working on it! =)
