This is the last week of school! His last day is actually Thursday and they get out at noon. He has a day camp next week and he's also doing karate twice a week starting today. We'll probably go to the library a lot, the park, the zoo, the beach, the festivals, and venture out of town for some other stuff like King Richard's Faire and a bigger zoo that's pretty awesome. The animals have really large habitats and there's even a big space in a wooded area where deer just roam around and you can go up to them. I don't know, I guess a lot of people have issues with zoos but as long as they have a lot of space I don't have a problem with it. I feel better about zoos than I do about circus animals, at least.
We went to a family therapist yesterday, my husband and I, to fill out the new patient paperwork. I was surprised to see she was around our age because she sounded older on the phone. We got around to talking about my hobbies and it went a little like this:
"So what do you do for fun?"
my husband: "Well she likes concerts...only one band though..."
me, getting all embarrassed and laughing
her: "It can't be as bad as who I like!"
me, getting a funny feeling: "Who?"
her: "...New Kids?"
*cue me fangirling, laughing at my husband for thinking she would roll her eyes or at least not be impressed*
It was awesome. But because the session wasn't supposed to be about fangirling, I dropped it. Still, so awesome.
Aside from being a kindred spirit, she seemed very nice. I hope she'll help smooth over some of the bumps we seem to encounter with our impatience and lack of a routine or DH and me being on the same page at all. I think she'll be talking to our son more than anything, but I hope my husband and I will be quite involved too.
I've also started eating better and doing a couch to 5k program. If any of you are on myfitnesspal.com you can add me-my username is daylilies. I don't track my food or exercise but I use the blog, I weigh in roughly once a week and I try to comment on people's updates a lot. I lost 3 lbs. last week, and I'm aware it won't always be that big a loss but I was quite motivated by that. I'm a little worried about staying in the groove of eating well and using the treadmill when my son is out of school, but hopefully I can stick with it.
My husband and I saw World War Z yesterday and it was very good. I don't remember the book, but DH said it was completely different and that's fine. I remember it being about a lot of different people in the book and it's kind of hard to pull that off in a movie unless their timelines cross paths at some point, which I don't think they did, aside from all being about the outbreak, obviously. I still thought it was well done.
