Muscles!

So Sylvain and I were goofing around yesterday, I was pretending to punch him, he the same, etc etc. Well, he went and poked me. Right in the stomach.

Suddenly he stopped. He looked at my stomach and poked it again. He said. Huh, there're muscles there. It's a little creepy, I haven't felt your stomach hard like that since you were pregnant.

I wasn't sure what to say. It was a compliment. But in a weird way. I was excited tho, it means that all that work I'm putting into it is actually paying off! To the point that others can see/feel it! I actually walked up to Jasmine (my neighbor) and told her, poke me! She laughed, but she did, and she said wow! MUSCLES!!

Again, very excited. I'm seeing results after only 2 weeks of the bootcamp. Not necessarily weightloss, but muscle build up, my face is slimming down, my stomach is getting some GOOD shape to it! Awesomeness... totally awesome... :)

And now the weather is turning for the better, it should be even better for training. I love the cool weather, it keeps me cool while sweating buckets, but the rain... the rain I can do without. So hopefully by the time it starts to ge HOT I'll have lost some poundage and I won't be sweating so much anymore! YAY ME!

OH! And I've made a decison about that 5km run... I'm going to go for it!

I can't believe it either. I'm going to do the 5km run at the end of the summer. I've got some great supporters telling me to go for it. Everyone believes in me, nobody has expressed anything even close to a doubt, only encouragement and love!

I've got some small routes mapped out on Google... thank you Google... and I'm going to start with a 2km jog, then go to 4... etc... and there's something even better! My neighbors and Sylvain are going to join me for it! I've told them that until we get used it, it'll probably be more of a walk-jog instead of the other way around. Hehehe... they seemed perfectly fine with that!

Wish me luck! At this point... I'm gonna need it!

The End isn't always THE End

After almost seven years I'm closing my dayhome. I've had the same girl with me for four of those years. None of my kids were with me less than a year. It's amazing how attached you get to other peoples children. Finding the courage to tell the parents I was closing was the most difficult thing I've ever ever had to do. I know it won't be the last difficult thing, and I know that there will be moments in my life that will not even compare to this. For now, this is my life. I cry at the thought of losing these kids. I smile at the thought of working outside my home again. I get upset when I think of all the things I'm going to miss with this. I laugh at the thought of getting my art "studio" back. I am conflicted emotionally. My husband, my boys, they've got my back. They're supportive and encouraging. I've got wonderful family and friends to help me through this. It is a selfish thing of me to feel this way, however, I need to

Washing My Hair in the Sink

We woke up late this morning. Jerome and Xavier decided to sleep in and Sylvain didn't set his alarm. I woke up and looked around, it was bright in our room. Oh no. That means the sun is coming up. That means it's after 7am. Crap. Turns out it was 7:45am. My dayhome is 'supposed' to be open at 7am, Sylvain is supposed to be off to work at 7:30. EEK! Jump out of bed, don't even get dressed, run downstairs and check the front door. Nobody. Whew. Then I start to wander around and turn on lights, straighten up and realize I probably have to wash my face. Make up, wonderful... unless you go to bed with it on. Anyway. Everything started out in a hurry, but slowed down after that. I was going to have a dayhome safety check done today, but she called and rescheduled. But that wasn't before I ran around putting things away, cleaning things, locking up cupboards, etc. Sheesh. In between babies snacking, playing, diaper changes. And that was BEFORE lunch! I remember I have

Where to Start

 Time flies when there's a pandemic and you're in out of school care. I swear I just made the previous post the other day, not three weeks ago! So much has happened, but before we even begin to talk about that, let's discuss some topics that I want to go over. The next few posts that I create will be centered around behaviour. Yes, I know, everyone talks about behaviour and how it's linked to feelings, situations, peers, caregivers, weather, meals, etc. Really it all is. However, there is so much more to it than.. Joe hit Sue because he was angry that she took his truck. While Joe is probably very angry and did indeed hit her for that reason, is there something else? Should we be helping him unpack and determine where those feelings came from? So much can be learned. After that I hope to go over observation vs supervision. Yes. There is indeed a difference. Maybe not to most, but if you have intent and purpose as motivation to watch what the children do and how they int
