Finally A Break!

Well, unfortunately, M's volleyball team lost in the 2nd round of playoffs, so the season has come to an end. I must say, as sad as I am for the girls, it was so nice getting off work yesterday with NOTHING on the agenda. (Okay, that's a lie, because after missing 6 weeks due to volleyball, M was NOT going to miss church.) But for now, I have a semi-break!!! Woot Woot! I mean I have 8 days straight with nothing on the calendar outside of business hours (other than church). Of course, I know me, and somehow I'll still be busy!

This means M has about 10 days off of volleyball before travel tryouts. We are changing clubs this year, so we really don't know what all that will entail. I'm hoping for me it means a year of just being mom. (Last year I was a board member of the prior club, so leaving also meant resigning).

Today is Fast Day 2 this week, and so far so good. I'm at 30 calories (2 cups of coffee with sugar free vanilla creamer), but lunch is about to happen. I think I'll have Chick-fil-a again. It really is becoming my go-to lunch for both fast & non-fast days. Who knew 6 grilled nuggets and applesauce could be so good?!

Tomorrow is weigh-in. So far I'm averaging 2-2 1/2 lbs. per week; so I'm hoping for the same.

In other news, Bella, my 2005 Ford Explorer, has started making creeks and moans. She's getting on up in years (and mileage). Sunday, we noticed her health declining more rapidly than usual. D and I talked about it, and decided it was time to trade her in. Is it weird that I feel sad about that? I mean, I would LOVE a new car, but I just feel like I am abandoning her. I wanted to keep her around, but D being the reasonable one, reminded me that we would never drive her once we got the new car, and she would probably just take up space in the driveway. M won't be driving (alone) for at least a year, so there is just no sense in keeping her. Besides, M won't baby her the way I do, okay, that's a lie too...I don't actually baby her, but I do love her, and M won't love her the same. She just wouldn't make it. (Hey, Blogger, this is the perfect spot for a frowny face, but for some reason you didn't give me that option. Boo!)
