Resolutions

My third week on the job and I've already succumbed to the kiddies' germs. I knew it was inevitable but I just hate being sick! My coworkers told me today that I'll be sick on and off for the first few months until I build up a super immune system like they did. Otherwise, things are going well and I love my school. I have 17 kids on my caseload and most of them have cerebral palsy or autism. After the first two weeks, I realized I needed to get myself into shape so I can keep up with the physical demands of the job. Some of the kids are pretty heavy to be transferring them out of their wheelchairs. Pilates seems like a good choice since it focuses on strengthening your core muscles. Also, I'm thinking of running a 4K race in November but that will mean I need to start training right away! It may be a long shot but I think I can do it. If I accomplish this and try to start my tree planting project, I just might be able to check them off my 2007 resolution list. Better late than never! Anyone want me to plant a tree in their yard?? You'll be doing a good thing for the enviroment!!
