Tap song

Our dance recital is coming up in a few weeks. I only have a few weeks to learn my dance. I'm really starting to panic.

Here is the song I will dance too. It's bit long, but it's growing on me.

And the tide changes

While driving to work today, I heard that schools were starting to take out sugary drinks out of school.

Interestingly, Kelly noticed an influx of diet soda's at her office this week.

It seems that all elementary schools and middle schools will only stock drink machines with water and healthier juices (8 oz for elementary and 10 oz for middle school). High Schools will stock water, sports drinks, diet sodas and healthier juices (12 oz) But, if you want a regular Coke or Pepsi you either have to bring your own or wait until you head home.

I remember arriving at high school and being able to grab something to drink whenever I wanted. It was liberating to have such control over my life.

But, I'm not sure that replacing sugar with sugar substitutes is necessarily heathier. True, I've chosen to drink diet drinks for most of my life - but it's been my choice. I work hard to limit my exposure to them and my children. I agree for diabetics, they are a godsend.

Maybe the availablility of healthy alternatives coupled with portion control will help students lead a heathier lifestyle.

After all, does a student really need a 20 oz bottle of soda when a 12 oz would be adequate?

We got the call

I debated for a long time about signing Sarah up for t-ball. She gets really cranky in the evenings so night-time activities are limited. She wanted to play t-ball for the past 3 years. Last year we rejected it because we learned t-ball was 2 nights a week plus Sat - a bit more than she could handle. We made the same determination this year, but then learned on the last possible sign up day that due to field availability, it was only 1 night plus Sat. THAT, we can handle. So, I sent in the application 2 days late. Thankfully, we are in a small town. So, the wait list is almost a formality at this age. I hadn't heard anything, nor had they cashed our check a week ago.

But, last night, we got the call that Sarah starts t-ball on Wednesday night. I'm tooo excited. She is too.

Sign up for soccer is Wed night also. Thankfully, one pair of cleats should work for both.

I wonder if I can find pink ones. . . .
