The kids had a little bit of schoolwork to do on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday -- just the basics -- and then we started our Christmas break. Yesterday was Josh's 10th birthday. He was very excited to be 10. He's not one who likes to show a lot of excitement, but we got lots of real smiles yesterday -- many of them by simply mentioning the fact that he's now 10. He's got a friend over today, so we're just hanging out and letting everyone enjoy a relaxing day at home.
In my weight-loss efforts, I lost another 3.8 lbs. last week, giving me a total of just two-tenths of a pound shy of 8 lbs. lost. I'm very excited about that and happy to be wearing a pair of jeans today that I haven't been able to get into in awhile. If you'd like to join me on my weight-loss journey, I invite you to join me at my new blog, Eclipsed: Escaping the Shadow of Obesity.
Those, sadly (or happily, if you look at it from the point of view of a homeschooling mom who was totally ready for this break) are the highlights of my week. How was your week?
