Claire

Claire is a well-spoken, funny little thing. I find humor in nearly everything she says. Here are some notable comments:
--We had our first ground covering snowfall Saturday into Sunday. When she awoke on Sunday, she and I looked out her window. She was definitely taken with the white stuff. Claire ran to Chris who was still in bed saying, "Daddy, Daddy, thew is no evew weh. I don't beweive it!"
--Claire is still constantly asking what or whom everything is. There was a random person walking on the street and I told her it was a man. I then proceeded to tell her that Daddy was a man. She told me "no" that Daddy was Daddy. Duh! She does seem to understand that I am a girl, but is again, very clearly in denial about herself, saying "I'm not a giwuh, I'm Claiw."
--We walked into daycare on Friday. The first thing Claire says to Maureen--"Miss Mauween, I wike yow scissows." hint hint. She still does not have visitation to the scissors at home, so she is working her magic at daycare.
--My Mom gave Claire the book, "Llama, Llama Mad At Mama." It is a favorite and we read it all the time. She and I were playing with Mya one afternoon when Mya babbled. Claire was convinced Mya said, "llama llama." "Momma Mya said llama llama." Then she coochicooed up to Mya and in her sweet little voice said, "Good talking Mya."
--When Claire is hungry she says her "tummy full." When she has an upset tummy, she says "tummy laughing."

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...
