I feel like I should be getting more done, since my family is not home this week....yet the progress is slow.  I'm working lots every day but the list grows longer each day.....feel like I'm just spending my day on a stationary bike.....going nowhere...

Speaking of stationary bike....I spent some time on one today.....rode 5 miles, ran 8.3 total, did weights, and played rball.......hoping to see results on the scale.  Trying to "shock" my body since I pretty much plateaued this summer.....it's getting harder to lose weight....having to push it harder. 

Getting school ready is making me a little crazy......Tapestry of Grace is very detailed and pretty overwhelming....hard to find the books my kids need to read (I don't want to buy them because there are so many and sometimes they only need to read a few chapters)......if you have any ideas, I'm listening. 

here are the books I need:
The Struggle for Sea Power
This country of Ours
Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier
The New Nation
The Story of Napoleon
Diary of an Early American Boy
