It was grocery shopping day. I really hate that chore, but it is over with for another week.

I wanted to take the kids to the pool today, but the radar showed rain coming. So, they got in the pool in the back yard. They got to swim out there for about an hour and half before the storms came. Then, it stormed pretty good for the rest of the afternoon.

We read for half an hour. We have been trying to do that every day. It does not always work out the way we planned, but we're trying. We set the timer and we all sit in the living room reading our books. I was a little skeptical that Caleb would actually read, but he can tell us what is happening in his book so he is really reading it. I'm really proud of him. He has come a long way with his reading.

Tonight I baked pork chops in the oven. We also had cheesy potatoes, string beans, steamed Asian vegetables and mac 'n cheese. This is the third night in a row that I actually cooked and did not just warm things up. I'm so proud of me.

I am hardly not sore at all anymore. I guess I'll be ok to go back at it come Saturday. I am hoping to get to the YMCA at least one morning this week to swim on my own. Maybe Thursday and/or Friday. We'll see. I need to get laundry done tomorrow, though.
