Progress but no REAL PROGRESS...




Chris has been working like a mad man over the past few days trying to get the shower tiled. The top two pictures show the hardibacker board he installed. Our carpenter, John, completed the mudding. The installation was rather tricky as our bathroom is not so level and working around the window presented a huge challenge. It looked great. Thursday he began tiling. I am quite impressed. He is completing this project on his own with supervisory input from me. (I'm sure he'd rather do without that too, but he is taking it in stride.) He did finish putting up the whole tiles diagonally on the longest wall, but has many intricate cuts to make to finish it off. He is not looking forward to that. Hopefully he'll get the rest of the tiles up and move onto the floor. I love to see the progress. As far as my own progress....not as apparent. I am officially tired of being pregnant. I decided yesterday that she should be born 7/7/07. However, she apparently has a different idea in her mind as nothing is happening. Short of drinking cator oil, I have tried everything! We went for a walk, tried to stimluate by pumping, cleaned on my hands and knees, and tonight we are eating spicy food. I have tried it all and unless something happens quickly, I will be the first to say we have no control of when our babies arrive. For a control freak, this is a difficult concept to grasp. Hopefully I won't have to....

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
