a work in progress

i've been tinkering (love that word--tinkering) with the blog. i've got this itch for all things requiring creativity...decorating, creating, designing. not that i am any good at any of it, but i like it. lately, it has been designing blogs. i've found some new backgrounds, uploaded some new fonts, created my very own signature and designed a header. i am loving it. i still have to do a little something special with the posting fonts, but that will come. the problem with this great infatuation with learning blog design (HTML) is that it requires time to tinker (ha. twice in one post!) however, in between rushing claire to the bathroom to pee and dealing with two sick and fussy kids, i have also become a bit under the weather myself and hence have no time to tinker. it is quite the house. let. me. tell. you. mya and i are taking a little trip next weekend. just the two of us. so it is crucial that she or we get well. sleep is in order. the problem with this idea is that we've decided to proceed with putting our house on the market. our realtor is coming tomorrow morning to take photos and complete the paperwork. i wonder what she'd think of our house in it's present state? yeah. i thought so.  i guess i better put my tinkering on hold for a bit and get cleaning i.e. disinfecting. ahhhh. breathe in breathe out. this too shall pass.

i have a lot of pictures to upload and some video too. stayed tuned...

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!

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 ...

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???
