Ok, it was a miracle. Yesterday when I discovered my wet cell phone, I took out the battery and threw it all in my bag before I left for work. Low and behold around 2:00, I put it together and it WORKED!! I have a cell phone again. Not only that, but Jessica's arrived in the mail as well. I am totally set. I have a cell phone and a back-up! Yahoo. It is amazing how out of touch I felt without it. It is rather sad how much I rely on that thing.
Chris called late last night. We talked only briefly, but he fired all day yesterday. It was rather cold, but he passed the test.
I have to capture this on video, but Claire loves "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed." We actually have both "5 Little Monkeys..." and "8 Little Monkeys..." books, but it is so cute. Chris and I had been doing the actions for awhile until one day she finally caught on and started waving her finger and saying "no more monkeys jumping on the bed." It is adorable. Definitely one memory to get on film. Melt my heart!

I still love that song and (not joking here) find myself singing it once in a while . . . The first time I did Josh looked at me like I had 8 heads and then asked me what I was singing - the things he must have missed as a child!

Anyone with an extra cell phone...send it to Kara. I think she may need a few backup phones. The lesson is...don't let Claire play with your phone.

I learned my lesson, but thanks. I now have a backup but it has limited battery power. I am holding out until June, although some friends claim that if I cried to Verizon, they'd crack me a deal. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point.

I too have an extra phone; actually 2 of them. I will hold it here so that it doesn't become subject to Claire but it will be here should you need it.

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...
