Wednesday ramblings!

I've finally gotten a day to myself. I've had a kid home sick since friday. One, then the other. I'm glad they are feeling better. I went to the gym this morning to do my cardio work out. I haven't been in a week and it felt good to go again. Its been a warm spell here in MN we have been in the 40's and all the beautiful white snow is about gone. Its only Feb so I'm sure I'm in for some more white stuff at some point.

I have been working on my scrapbooking lately. Its been nice to get back to my hobby. I've kind of taken a self imposed break for a couple years now. With the exception of every few months I'd do a few pages. I'm hopeing to get back to my passion of scrapbooking my photos now on a regular basis.

I also want to get back into my reading passion. I love to read a good book. Unfortunately, ageing has set in and I couldn't read the print without it being blurry. I finally got my eyes checked last week. The good news is my eyes, retina and all are still healthy. The bad news is I have some normal aging thing (the doc has a term for it), I can't pronounce. Anyways , they set me up with some prescription reading glasses which I will pick up the end of this week. I can't wait to be able to take a nice hot bubble bath, in my big jacuzzi tub and read a few pages of a good book. My idea of relaxation! Speaking of reading. All 4 of my boys are good readers and love to read. I was amazed though when after my 14 yr old bragged about how good twilight book was and couldn't wait to get the next books in the series, then his aunt was here and she started reading it and got the next books and loved it. The part I'm amazed at is my 9 yr old picked up the first book and is now reading it. I heard him say to his brother last night that he was just about onto chapt 8. AFter only about a week and a half of reading. I'm so thrilled my boys love to read! They at least all picked up one good habit from me. haha
