weightloss update

ok, first a question. does weightloss due to illness count as actual weightloss? i am not sure, but i'll take what i can get at this point. we haven't abided by the eating or workout plan one bit this week, which makes week number 2 of falling off the wagon. with that being said, let me explain the earlier question. our kids were sick with the flu from last friday through monday. things looked up on tuesday, so off to daycare they went. flash forward to thursday night. claire woke up vomitting and continued to do so four times in three hours. it was awful. a skinny kid like that certainly cannot afford to lose any of the morsels she consumes. anyway, mya was the same story--vomitting two times thursday night. this has continued through saturday. i was lucky enough to catch a bit of their issues this time around. i started feeling sick on friday night and was pretty much tied to the bathroom all day yesterday. i was miserable. the sad thing is that misery isn't really an option when you have two small children. chris was great after i finally told him that i needed to lay down, but he was trying like everything to get us moved out of this house. it has been quite the adventure. anyway, he wore alot of hats yesterday...daddy, nurse, moving guy, laundry guy, and errand boy. i am pleased to say that i feel so much better today and so far so good with both claire and mya. with that i leave you with my overall weightloss of 8 pounds. not bad considering there was almost a week of gain and a week to lose that gain. i am pleased. once we are settled into our new place and life gets a bit back to normal, we will jump on that wagon again. until then, we are praying for a few weeks without illness.

OH no...not a great start to your February vacation. I hope that your move today goes smoothly. Try to rest up as much as you can. Maybe we can get together later in the week..

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???

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
