Day 105 - Craziness Abounds

Before I begin: Someone special deserves a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So, happy birthday MrsFatass! I love the new design!


My book was on my mind all last night. I think I basically wrote the whole book in my head over the seven hours that I was supposed to be sleeping. Maybe it’s my pillow – whatever the reasons – I haven’t been sleeping. .. So, with this being written, I did not get up and workout this morning.

At first, I thought I would workout on my lunch break, but since the moment I walked through the door at work I have been extremely busy. So busy, that I have not eaten breakfast and I’M STARVING! So I texted the hubby and he is taking me to lunch. Awwwww! He really knows how to please me – with food! Get your minds out of the gutter people! Focus on my hunger!

I’ve put together a 30 minute workout routine that the girls will be doing every evening. The morning workout is no longer an option – for them – so they will be working out in the evening. Kitty has been working out 4 hours a day since school started and has only maintained her weight. She swears that she is not eating that much during lunch, but her results tell me otherwise. Kiki just desperately wants to keep working out to lose more weight and I don’t blame her. She needs to (Dr’s orders – don’t hate on me for agreeing!) Soooo, my plan is to find time EVERY night for them to get this 30 minute workout done and from now on (and since I can control it) dinner will be our smallest meal of the day! We need to make sure we aren’t eating more calories than we can burn – something I think Kitty is really close to doing…hmmmm?

On a much happier note! Remember a couple of posts ago where I mentioned that I had to leave to go meet Zac Brown? Well here’s the story:

Most of you already know that I am on the board at Bynum School. Our little school won the Campbells Labels for Education Grand Prize (and the Grammy Foundation) to have Zac Brown play for the students. This was a huge moment for all of us! We are getting ready to launch our Capital Campaign for a new school, so the timing couldn’t have been better. I have a ton of pictures but I couldn’t get them all loaded…whatever, I’m selfish.



Here is my VIP Pass. Everyone that was “on the list” got one. (staff, parents, students and board members) This event was ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN, so it was an intimate affair – LOVED IT!



The event started off with the children singing and hand-signing Chicken Fry for him! It was soooo cute! He was very touched! Did I mention that he is extremely genuine and very cute in that “rugged, lets escape to the mountains for the weekend and live like animals” kind of way.

Sorry, got distracted...




He played three songs for the children and they went wild! Wayyyyyy Coooool!




Here, Campbells Labels for Education has presented Bynum School with 100,000 redemption bonus points to buy the school musical instruments and a ton of other musical “art” items for the school. It just brings tears to my eyes!



To top everything off, just before Zac (yes, we go by first names now – I’m elite like that) left the premises, he gave the school a check for $100,000!

Now I am crying, because I know how bad this magical little school needs help in building a new school.

But, I know and feel with all my heart that we WILL raise the $8million dollars it’s going to take to fulfill our dreams. If you haven’t yet, I suggest you take a peek at what this school provides and the special children they teach. I have never been to another place where the true love of the human spirit can be fully comprehended. And, if you happen to have an extra $8mllion lying around somewhere - send it to the school!

IT IS GLORIOUS!
