a pictureless post

we've had a crazy week. we were approved for the 55+ community, so we signed the lease. the packing process is in full-swing. each night we've hurried home, whipped out the boxes and thrown stuff in. it is such a huge job. we've had many offers from incredible friends for help and assistance, but we're trying to take this opportunity to organize and throw some things at the same time. plus, i have an issue with accepting help as my friend, michelle so kindly pointed out. she's right. i do. anyway, we are moving along and making progress. needless to say, exercise hasn't happened. it was supposed to be our easy week, but not this easy. we will get back on the wagon when things slow down a bit more. claire and mya both came down with the flu yesterday--both vomitting and having 'other' issues. to top it off, we cleaned our house like never before because our home inspection was scheduled for that night. talk about timing. so, we had to maintain our clean house while dealing with 2 sick kiddos. while our house was inspected, we had to take them out and about for 3 hours. it was interesting. we were nervous about the inspection to say the least. not that we were suspecting anything to be wrong, but just uncertain as our house is 80 years old--almost entirely redone, but still 80 years old. the inspection went well. very well. nothing was found, so we are sitting pretty. the process can continue. yahoo! we're feeling good--great, i mean. we hope to move into the new place mid-february and close on our house on or before april 1st. so exciting.

I am so happy you got into the unit you wanted. Chris seemed very excited about living there, (even though he won't be there). I am also glad and relieved. I know you are a very strong person Kara and can probably handle anything that comes your way, just a little extra security makes me feel better, and you will be able to keep the same daycare, right??
congrats on your house, good news all around. Works for me.

PS--sorry the girls were ill.

love you guys

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...
