Billy kicked my butt.

Yesterday, Friday, we did some intentional PE - I put on a "Billy Blanks Boot Camp" and we all worked out together.

We used 6oz tomato pastes cans to be our weights and 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8 -ed our way through kicks, punches, squats, and pushups.

Almost immediately my body was mad at me.  And today- this morning- Oy vay!

But back to yesterday - so then we did a google search for Billy Blank kid exercises and only to find that Billy is Dyslexic! Sarah totally related to the different way of thinking.  But, thankfully, she did not relate to people like teachers and such calling her stupid or thinking she was mentally handycap!  We pulled her out of school before that stigma set in.

Second grade she did homeschool just like public school at home and she was going to Mexican public school - and she would start to call herself stupid when she couldn't or struggled with whatever task was set before her.  I hated that.

At 5:23min it talks about their strengths and it is describing Sarah to a 'T'.  Anyway - pretty interesting.
