1. It's been a long week, even with the holiday on Monday and Jeremiah being off on Tuesday. Jeremiah just got back from being TDY to Pennsylvania all week.
2. Jamie was so excited about school yesterday. She kept remembering things all day about her 3 hours at school. She did a bear hunt to music and got a badge. It was nice to hear her talk about school like that.
3. I have hit another plateau. I am really tired of this. I can see the end and yet, my body just won't let me get there. I am going to cut out carrots and bananas (like my phone counselor suggested since they are higher in sugar) and see if that works. Hopefully I can get passed this and be on my way. Let's get this done already!
4. Jacob is able to drink regular milk and eat regular cheese. Just don't give it to him all at once or with anything processed like macaroni and cheese. Then we have a problem. He can have his milk in the morning and at night and maybe a cheese stick or yogurt for lunch but that's it. I'm good with that and so is he for now!
5. Today I got a call from the principal at Mazie's school. It was a good thing. She was asking me if it would be ok if Mazie wrote a little speech and read it to the school board at the meeting next week. She said that Mazie is a "very articulate and bright girl" and thought of her immediately when the school board asked her about doing this. There is a student from each grade (1-5) that will write something and read it. Mazie's topic is about the great teachers at Odyssey Elementary. Mazie's teacher gave me a heads up so it wasn't a surprise but it was still pretty cool anyway. I'm just wondering something. Out of 5 first grade classes (yes, I said 5), how does the principal know Mazie so well? Am I not getting the calls that I should? At any rate, I will take the good calls!
Happy Weekend!

The plateau bit is normal - hang in there, it will pass. So glad to hear the excitement of Jamie re: school. I know she will do equally well. Mazie should feel real honored to be selected by the principal to address the board. It is refreshing to know that she has a principal who is in tune with what the children are really like. Congratulations, Jamie and Mazie, I am proud of you both! (We are off to PSU for gameday-probably will get soaked by Hanna!)
Where in PA?...
Jamie needs to call me and tell me all about her classes and also her tea kwon do!I am so proud of you!
It may help if for one day a week you havve an "whateveryouwanttoeat"day...thatmay boost your metabolism!
Glad Jacob is better...wonder how that happened?
"Amazing Mazie"is at it again!....can't wait to hear or read that speech!....Good job and congratulations on being chosen!;_)
I'm very proud of you!
Love to all!
I can see it now. Mazie Stahr, President USA. Daughter of a highly decorated AF officer and an amazing RN that put her career on hold to raise their beautiful family. Her sister Jaime is the CEO of a multi-billion dollar Corp that donates half of it's proceeds to charities and her brother is the #1 Astronaut at NASA.
I agree with Sara....too funny but true!
Hang on to your hats...HERE COMES MAZIE,JAMIE, and JACOB!:-)
Congratulations Mazie!!! That is a real honor to speak in front of the school board. Keep up the good work.
I love Sara's comment- hey all presidents had to do their first speech somewhere, right? Might as well be in first grade! Go Mazie!
Good vision, Sara. But, you do realize that it costs several thousand dollars per pound to send an astronaut to space... I'm pretty sure they're looking for a jockey-sized person instead of someone with a stature like Jacob!!! HA HA!
oh wow maz. that's amazing. i want to hear your speech!
Congrats Mazie! Tell your Mama she needs to do a post of you giving your speech! (-:
