So much going on

Like I have not felt well in days. I really want to feel better. My sinuses are going crazy and I have no choice but to follow. John also had a couple of days where he was not too well either; he actually stayed home one day (highly unusual).

Last weekend we started yet another project (not that any of the others have been completed). As we proceeded to tuck the girls in one night, I was horrified to find Jesse's room a total disaster! Clothes from the dirty hamper everywhere, the stuff from the floor of her closet thrown (literally) all over the room. All to find a piece for her Hot Wheels launcher she wanted to play with that night. I just stood there, cautiously, in the middle of her room with my mouth open with nothing able to escape it. John came in, took one look then took me by the shoulders, "We'll fix it. Tomorrow, we will fix it."

I felt defeated again. Their rooms have been a source of irritation to me on many occasions; that was definitely one of them. Well, now their rooms are lined with even more shelves and their closets are looking better. Unfortunately, I have already found one of them shoving things underneath her bed...again. Not a good way to start.

Jesse is really excited about this week (TKD graduation). She has practiced very hard, as usual. Master Mike was impressed by her "control" last week. She and Chloe were both practicing their forms when Jesse's outer crescent kick was going to hit Chloe in the head. Jesse managed to finish the kick and not hit her little sister. Great control, girl!! We still need to practice her front/side kick combination and her hook kick for board breaks, but she is ready!

Am I ready for Thursday? Nope. While I have ideas for a white belt form, I cannot get it to work out right. I don't want to do a straight line (which is how MM's is) but a rectangle. Just cannot work it out yet. I know all three forms I have to demonstrate, but I still need to learn the three I have to say. You would not think there would be a big difference in doing one and saying one, but there is a huge difference.

Chloe is not mid-terming this month; however, she has already learned half of her weapon form. I think she likes the weapons...just like her momma.
