<h3><font color=magenta>Poor March. It is the homeliest month of the year. Most of it is mud, every imaginable form of mud, and what isn’t mud in March is ugly late-season snow falling onto the ground in filthy, muddy heaps that look like piles of dirty laundry.

Hello, Team! Just reporting in on my usual Thursday exercise class results. Got a nice sweaty 18 miles in on the bike so my mind is clear, my energy is renewed and I am feeling great! I do have to cancel my two classes next week due to my being out of town for a few days and having to make up a day at work that I would be missing.

Got a nice sweaty 18 miles in on the bike so my mind is clear, my energy is renewed and I am feeling great! I do have to cancel my two classes next week due to my being out of town for a few days and having to make up a day at work that I would be missing.
My husband and I met with a financial advisor after class to figure out what is the best way to roll over my pension and 401K from my part time job. I have been there so long that I qualified for an early retirement package that was too good to turn down. I wasn't planning on retiring there since I really enjoy the work, but $$$$ talks and when they doubled my pension to leave, how could I say no? I have been looking on line for local part time jobs that fit the family's schedule, has comparable pay for what I was making and is challenging enough to keep me interested in the work. I actually found one that I applied for yesterday and the company has already called me for a phone interview. I hadn't put together a resume in so many years that many of my previous employers aren't there anymore. I sorted out some to put in the ones that would show I would be a great match for the company. It helps that I am still working and they think highly of me at work. I know I will get outstanding recommendations there. If this doesn't work out, I am excited about continuing to look and find the perfect part time position. I would like to work until I am at least 70 anyway,if health, etc continue to be in fine shape. I am nervous about the insurance changes, Medicare and social security changes the government is considering rather seriously. I have three grandchildren I have to think of supporting until the youngest reaches college age in 11 years. If the government makes many of the changes brought out, that is going to really hurt our family, not even mentioning my extended family.
Anyway, I hope all are doing well, keeping active and enjoying the changes in our outside environments - that is if you live in an area coming out of the winter months and are being greeted by daffodil and crocus blossoms galore.
Keep movin', everybody!

It's commitment and perseverance that lead to educational success. Obviously environment, upbringing, money and resources, teachers and schools all feed in, but the students who study when they would rather socialise, who revise when they want to be on Facebook, who reread when they could be at the mall, are the ones who achieve success.

I started the day walking the first grader to school, then headed to the gym to spinning class for an hour (16.6 miles), got home in time fora team intervention meeting for the 4th grader, home in time to pick up dd to take her to a couple appointments and the store, dropping her off at home to get back home in time to take the 7th grader to her appointment(still here), then go to her favorite Mexican restaurant for supper, before heading home to take the golden retriever on her much looked forward to night walk, and THEN maybe some time to relax before bed. Who ever said they would. bored if they retired?
Looking forward to leaving town for a short vacation with the grandkids next week for spring break. Gotta get through this week first!
Keep movin', everybody!
