funworld n.h.



being cooped up over the winter months is definitely one downside to new england life. snow is fun, but not so much for a two year old or 8 month old little kid. last weekend i found a great place online--funworld n.h. we drove up to nashua and had a great day. claire really enjoyed the beautifully painted, huge, 2 story carousel and riding on some of the kiddie rides.they had a huge ball pit complete with multilevel play tunnels. claire wasn't so willing to explore on her own, so with my encouragement, chris took her inside. mya was entertained simply hanging out in her stroller or riding the motorcycle. she has a need for speed--okay, maybe we just posed her on the bike. maybe. god knows i wouldn't let my kid ride a motorcycle let alone without a helmet--EVER!! i hate motorcycles. anyway, funworld was a world of fun and it didn't even cost alot. the highlight to claire's trip was the stamp she received on her hand. we brought her to the playground at the mall this weekend and on the way there, she asked to go to the "big playground" and proceeded to tell me which hand she would have them stamp. she was sadly disappointed when we arrived at the dinky mall playground--at least for a minute. thank goodness she is pretty laid back.

Oh, Mya is so cute on the motorcycle. The girls & Chris look like they had fun.

i think we all had fun. unfortunately, chris doesn't get the idea that he should be the photographer once in awhile, so it looks like he is the "involved parent." however, i am typically the one who plans the fun and captures the memories for our children. irritating.

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...
