Planned workout: Rest Day I sooo rested....
Ok, So I should be sleeping. But I have this sinus issue thing going on. So I am up drinking tea and waiting on my meds to hit. My 8am Boot Camp will come too early.
What do I do while my nose is running and my throat is sore? I write lists. (Well, I do now.)
Presenting My Bucket List: 10 Things I want to do before I die
10) Run a 10k, just for fun
9) Meet someone famous
8) Take a hot air balloon ride
7) Be known in my neighborhood as "there goes that runner girl again"
6) Embarrass my daughter profusely when she starts dating. ( I think this is more of a parental right)
5) Go rock climbing
4) Learn a foreign language (better than I did in high school or college)
3) Pass on to my daughter all the stories my grandma told me about her life.
2) Write a book
1) Take a road trip with my family (The kind you don't plan)
Ok, so that's what I would like to do; now onto what I am doing this summer:
Teaching my daughter how to read.
Yep, that's right. Before the eye rolling or judging my parenting begins, there are a couple reasons I am doing this over this summer.
1) A six year old told my daughter she couldn't read. She was devastated. So every day now she asks me if she knows how to read yet. Its breaking my heart.
2) She is ready. She knows the alphabet and sounds. She can already spell (and write) simple words (mom, dad, her name, dog, mamaw, papaw, her cousin's name) She can rhyme. She understands you read left to right.
3) I was an early reader. I am still an avid reader.
4) No, I do not think she is a genius. I think she is a normal, everyday kid who happens to be good with words. Good for her.
5) I have a degree in education, language arts and science education to be exact.
