Chapter 2.5

Working on doing a better job of journaling this year. Kathy suggested it would be good for Kathryn to have when she’s older, and she’s right. And since Kristi is a mom now, she probably needs to know what to expect! I posted one item this morning early (my first blog posting), and I've already lost it! So I'll start back a little further with a journal entry I made in January of this year with edits and additions to bring it current, then I'll add on:

January 7, 2009: I started officially at the YMCA on Monday, and I’ve taken three classes so far. Already feeling better. Update: It's now June and I've averaged about 2-3 days a week, although I took off quite a bit when Brenna was born. When I can figure out how to add pictures, I'll do that so readers can see how beautiful she is.

Ms. Susan wasn’t at school on Monday. Kathryn told me that she was at the doctor because she had a wreck but she didn’t die. I started to call her at home on Monday night but decided to wait to see if she got back on Tuesday. She was back and I asked how she was and that K had told me she’d had a wreck. Her look was priceless. She said, “I didn’t have a wreck, I had pleurisy!” I then told her that K had told me that morning that Ms. Tracy (another teacher) said that K “always had a headache,” and I wondered if she’d been complaining about headaches at school. She said, no, that K sometimes had them but nearly enough for her to be concerned! I told her I kind of doubted that one, too, given the story I got from K about Ms. Susan’s wreck. What an imagination!
Update June 12, 2009: School is now out, and we're lucky that K is going to have Ms. Susan again next year. K's newest phrase is "just now-ago" to indicate something happened recently. She's a trip.

That's it for electronic journaling so far this year. I'll go back and add in what I wrote in a book another day.
Highlights so far this year:
Brenna's Birth - Feb. 9
My new career as a part time project manager - it's been pretty successful - and as a full time mom - mixed reviews there.
Starting to work out again.
Kathy and Chuck getting married.
Harold's about to turn 55!
