Random Funny Moments

Meet my cleaning ladies...
I mentioned earlier that I cancelled our cleaning lady, Ms. Irene, this week. Well, look who showed up in my living room. Ha! The two cutest cleaning ladies I've ever laid eyes on ;) They love to play together and I can't help but smile when Claire says, "Mya let's play Miss Irene." So sweet.

 Claire is a funny kiddo. Daily we go through the routine of telling her, "You don't have to take a nap/go to sleep. Just lay quietly." Within ten minutes, she's fast asleep. The same is true at school. The kiddo needs a nap given the early mornings that we share, so skipping naps is not an option at this point. However, I also do not want the battles. Therefore, we trick her into sleeping. That being said, no trickery was necessary for these pictures. We got up, Claire picked out her little morning snack (yes, I know...not a healthy choice), I jumped in the shower, and ten minutes later, we have this:

There is nothing like a sleeping babe no matter the age.
 Mya has been wanting to use Claire's IXL alot lately. Thankfully, Claire has been a fantastic sharing girl. However, you'd assume otherwise looking at this picture. Mya is huddled between a chair and the base of our kitchen table. I didn't even know she was there until I searched. What a doll!

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...
