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...

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

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

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
