a lil' bit of me

Well, things are going well over on this end of the island. School's going great for Liv, as is her karate. She is a candidate for the Leadership Team, and it doesn't mean she will get on it, but it sure is an exciting thing that she's even being considered.

I got a much dreaded phone call from her school the other day. I wasn't home, and was working out when her teacher called my cell, so didn't hear it. We got this message : "Hi, its ______ calling, Liv's had an accident, and her hand is swelling quite badly, and bruising really quickly, if you could please come to the school, we think she should have an x-ray done."
AHHHHHHHH!!!!
I could not hang up the phone fast enough, or get there soon enough. Her sweet little hand was blue, and the pinky side of her hand, was the shape and size of an orange.
All said and done, she was okay. I took her to emerge, they x-rayed it, and there was no break. THANK YOU GOD.

Ben had his 2nd appointment today with his speech therapist. It went well, and is definitely improving with his sounds. Him and I had such a great day together today. (the bear was there too, but he's always happy). We were in the dollar store, and I told him he could pick out one thing. So he chooses this temporary pink hair dye, that comes with a comb. I put it in his hair, just the spikey bang part, outside of the store, and he starts doing this happy dance, singing "oooh yeaahh, I am gonna look sooo handsome. Oh yeah, oh yeah...." and on and on. He got some sweet comments from the principal at Livs school, and the parents. You could see it on his face, he thought he was THE BOMB. He is such an awesome kid, I love it. Personality Plus.

Referring back to one of my previous posts, I have completed like 4 pages for the bears album, and have really enjoyed doing it. I am becoming more disciplined in my eating...
and for the me time, I have found something new, that I really am enjoying. Its karate. Yep. I have joined. Its been almost 2 weeks, and I love it. I also with this membership, can do the cardio kickboxing classes that I really like. So I have been exercising my butt off. Literally. I have lost 7 lbs! Yay me.

Well, there's my nut shell.
