Randomness..

Just a few things...
1. We are doing fine. I had my 3rd blood draw this morning. We have an appointment with an OB next week. We'll know more at that point, but we are doing fine.
2. I've been tackling some projects. I bought 4 smaller bookshelves and I finally got them painted yesterday. 2 will go in the girls' bedroom. I'll post pics of our house when I feel it is more finished.
3. I am working on filing our damage claims. This is eating much of my mind right now. The antique appraiser comes tonight, so hopefully I'll be able to file the claim next week.
4. My DoDDS benefits were finally reinstated, which means I get a lovely housing allowance. We are now thinking we may build/buy a home here which we will most likely keep as a rental when we leave. My housing allowance is so nice that we will have 2/3 of the house paid off by the time our tour is up. Who can pass that up??!
5. Mya is sick with the flu. Poor thing. I think she has vomitted 6 times in the past 12 hours. She has suddenly become a skinny mini, so I worry how much weight she will have lost when this is over.
6. Work is great. Very busy, but great. I enjoy leaving it all behind, but feel incredibly overwhelmed as it is busy, busy, busy. The evaluation list rarely gets smaller, so there is no catching up. It is more like trying to stay afloat.
7. I've been Betty the Baker. I made Homemade Oreos on Wed. and Monster Bars on Thursday. Everything went to the crew at Chris' work. It is closeout which means LLOOONNGG hours. Chris will be working all weekend. Just thought I'd do my part. They were a hit. Both containers of cookies came home EMPTY!

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

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

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
