How I've Missed Thee.

Sleep. I love my sleep. I loved my sleep before children and even moreso now that I am deprived. However, we've been at my parents' house for 4 days now and I think I have gotten more sleep in those 4 days than I have in the past 3 years. All thanks to my awesome parents. Love them. Mya is sleeping in the one bedroom, while Claire and I are sleeping in another. My Mom has been grabbing Mya when she wakes in the morning. Claire and I have been sleeping in anywhere from 8 to sometimes 9 each day. I even have had a nap each day. It is heavenly. I feel pretty refreshed, although I have a lot on my mind. No word on the job yet, which I was expecting, but I am somewhat impatient. I've made my list of things to do if I should get the job and we decide to move to Korea. All in all, I am pretty prepared or at least as much as I can be being so far away from MA. Just wish I could snap my fingers and find out if I got the job, gather all my stuff from work, say the sucky good-byes, complete the paperwork, take the necessary pictures of our high priced items and get this ball rolling. Oh well. I suppose less time to truly stress is better. In more positive news, I will be with Chris in less than two weeks. I am getting very excited and the best part is that he actually has planned some things for us to do. He isn't revealing much, but any planned activities will be fine with me.

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...
