A day of all days...

Yesterday was a day from HELL, I tell you. HELL! All started out fine. I did the work thing, went to the lab during my lunch hour to take a PG test to confirm I am not, I repeat, NOT pregnant as necessary for my HSG test later in the day. I returned to work for a few hours, picked up Chris and mosied to Landstuhl for the test.

Total awesomeness! The test was horrible. It hurt almost as bad as the pain of contractions. Fitting, I suppose as that is the objective. Anyway, survived. (I updated the post "ANSWERS" for those of you wanting to know specifics on that end.)

Returned to work, watched Claire run her laps for marathon club-23 to be exact. Wore me out just watching.

Headed off base to pick up Mya at school. On my way, heard a phone ringing. Couldn't find the phone. Finally did. Called the person back. Discovered the caller was the GM dealership who was fixing our car--headlight and checkup. The car needs work, apparently, "extensive work." Of course, the warranties all expired while we were in Korea. Total awesomeness again! The parts will take 2-3 weeks to be shipped here. The car is usable, but will cost us an arm and a leg to fix unless GM will give us a break. The story is yet to unfold.

Finally arrived at school to pick up Mya only to find her in a pull up. Awesomeness for the THIRD time today. She was tickled pink to be in a pull up. I was livid, but partially to blame. She messes around in her backpack constantly. Apparently, she took out her spare undies and pants, so she was wearing extras from the school. Why they went to a pull up vs. undies is not known, but it was quite a struggle getting her out of them. She loves pull ups. Always has. I resorted to throwing all the extras in our house out, as she loved to put them on! What a kid! Anyway, on my way out, I was NOT in a good mood as I was having cramps from the HSG and quite honestly, on the verge of a mental/emotional meltdown when the new assistant director stopped me to ask "did they inform you of what happened." Ummm, no. Anyway, I was rude. I probably should apologize. It was totally me, I know that,but really....what is there to tell?? My kid is in pull ups. I am not a rocket scientist, but I can gather that she must have had an accident??!! The question is WHY? She is nearly 4 years old??!!!  Whatever.

The drama was over, I was crabby. I called my parents. Life is better. Chris shaved the mustache, furlough intents have been issued though I haven't received mine yet, my outlook has improved as I look forward to my time off, and I feel good once again. What a difference a day makes ;)

Hey, I tried to call you yesterday. I was going to fill you in on the HSG and also need you to send that text to the bank lady again. Apparently, the banks are on backorder until late April. Didn't think you'd care, but she said she deleted the text as she thought it was random??! Duh. I emailed her minutes later telling her, but whatever. Today is much better, thanks.

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

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 ...

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...
