Wow, I thought with summer break I would have time to be here. But instead, between water aerobics and cleaning this house, I barely have time for myself. However, I have good news. I am still working for the same school, but...

Wow, change of plans

Carmela @Carmelanirel2 (8084) • United States 23 Jun 20

Actually my plans haven't changed, I just probably won't do as much as I wanted to. That is because of what happened this morning. First, a little background. When my son was younger, he would stay up late, even on school...

Carmela @Carmelanirel2 (8084) • United States 14 Jun 20

It doesn't feel like it though, since the schools shut down in March and the graduation was not in a building, but on the football field and each student was only allowed to have 10 family members.. It was okay, except their...

Water aerobics

Carmela @Carmelanirel2 (8084) • United States 11 Jun 20

Who has done water aerobics before? Water aerobic is where you exercise in a pool (or any kind of water) and there are benefits to water aerobics. Like in the link I am sharing, it is easy on the joints, which means if someone has...
