A Mother's Day Surprise!

 


Mother's Day is right around the corner. Chris has been trying to think of a memorable first Mother's Day gift for me, but as usual, I am difficult to shop for. He called me at work this morning with the biggest surprise I've had in awhile. He told me that Claire and I are going to N.D. this weekend! What a great husband! He called my Mom and of course, she was thrilled too. I guess it is a gift to us both. This is her first Mother's Day without her Mom, so I am sure it will help her to be surrounded by her four girls. I spread the word as quickly as I could. The rest of my family was as excited as my Mom. I am thrilled to see my family if only for a couple of days. They truly mean the world to me.

As for my incredible husband, he is one of a kind. He knows just what to do to make me remember why I love him so. He can melt my heart with his thoughtfulness. He has a heart of gold. Claire is lucky to have a Dad like him and I am incredibly fortunate to spend the rest of my life with him. THANK YOU, Chris! I LOVE YOU!

To my family, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU! I LOVE YOU ALL!!

I think we could have done without the picture... In case anyone is wondering, I am the guy in the middle of the picture, surrounded by all of the fat.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

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 ...

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b...
