Very first swim lesson today with Papa Bill at the Kesselring’s pool! Logan to Papa Bill with boastful confidence: “I know how to swim!” Papa Bill to Logan with a touch of military forcefulness: “No you don’t! You don’t know how to swim until I SAY you know how to swim!” LOL!!!!
Today was AWESOME! At first Logan and Job were afraid to even dip their chin in the water. But by the end of the lesson Logan (we’re still working on Job) was sprawled face first in the water practicing drown proofing! And he did it over and over again. “Look how long I can stay under, Mom!”
This after two previous summers of swim lessons and my boys still didn’t know the first thing about how to swim! Good-bye city park and YMCA, Hello Papa Bill!

Lightning Works
Alright, ya'll. God is stinking AWESOME. I was out picking up some poison, A.K.A. Dairy Queen, for my husband when I surveyed a most wondrous light show up in the sky. The sky above was clear as crystal with stars and moon shining brilliant but just to the south was a huge thunderstorm and the lightning lit up the treeline like fireworks on the 4th of July. It was spectacular. And an amazing testimony of God's power and might. I was in awe. I wanted to pop some popcorn and pull up a lawn chair for an hour or so.
So, I get home and I tell my husband that he has to run to the end of the street to see this awesome light show. He comes back panting and says, "I want the boys to see this!" So, my two boys, who should have been catching some z's, were hurried upstairs and out the front door to see this work of God's creation. They weren't as impressed as Mike and I and Logan was half afraid he was going to get zapped but it was totally worth it. Thank you, Jesus, for the experience!

So, I went to pick up my baby's prescription eye drops today. Unfortunately, it was the first time I had to order a prescription for him so none of our insurance was entered into the computer under his name. This prompted the pharmacist to ask, "Do you have insurance to help you pay for this?" I'm thinking, "Do I have insurance to pay for this? What kind of question is that?" Um, yes I do, why (just out of curiosity) do you ask? That's when I found out he wasn't entered into the computer yet. Yep, had to sit there and wait for 5 minutes, which isn't a very long time, unless of course you are sitting there waiting.
So, when all was typed and done, I owed $8. But then I just had to ask, "How much did it cost before?" I mean, seriously, how much could one teeny tiny (probably less than two teaspoon fulls) bottle of antibiotic eye drops cost? Drum roll please..........$50!!! Whoa. That is some serious dough. I immediately had this mental picture of a man standing in the parking lot and both his arm and leg fell off simultaneously. So, as much as I hate to admit it, I was thankful to God for my insurance today. It's a love-hate relationship. I hate insurance companies, but I love having to pay only $8 so my baby's eye infection will clear up! :)

Being Shredded
I am on Day 6 of Jillian's 30 Day Shred! I am only doing it every other day otherwise the tendinitis in my elbow flares up. Yesterday, I made the mistake of doing it at the end of the day. Oh boy! About six minutes into it I was wiped! I think I'll keep it at first thing in the morning when I wake up!
And I am doing Weight Watchers to lose my pregnancy weight...I have been doing it for about two weeks and I finally feel like it is starting to make a difference!!! Woo-hoo! So excited!

Exercise Day 1
Oh boy. I started Jillian Michaels (sp?) 30 day shred today. OMG!!!! I was DYING! And I was only do the beginner of the beginning level. Pathetic!
I am super out of shape and trying to lose these last pesky pregnancy pounds so I can fit back into my clothes again! And I want to tone those muscles! Though I have to say that I can't do the work out every single day (at least, not at first) because if I work my elbow too hard I get tendinitis. Doesn't feel so good!
