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 like Orange County better. The ladies are less shallow, catty and certainly less snotty. However, I watch NYC because it is so far off from what I know as reality that it is rather comical. Who would pay $75 for their 11 year old child and 6 of her friends to get their hair washed, dried and styled (not even well) for a little dance??!! I just can't imagine. What a waste! I think it is funny how they point out the cost of everything as if they're money is all tied to their self-worth. What a joke of an existance! Anyway, those are my two, loser, must-watch reality shows. They are both lame, but guaranteed to make you smile!
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

Hey, has Claire said "Dad" again? Ethan is rolling over now but won't be talking for some time I guess.

My choice of tv shows are often not too intellectually stimulating, but I think I watch them for that reason. A nice break after a long day!
Nick, I used to watch American Idol, but Chris is rubbing off on me. He makes fun of it all the time. I do hear the highlights on the radio. Glad to hear you have your own "dark place."
No she hasn't been saying "dad" lately. I think it was a fluke, meaningful yes, a real word, yes, but a fluke. Chris interprets everything she says now as being "dad" or "dadda" or whatever. It is comical. Once they start rolling, changes are constant. Fun times are ahead at your house.
Love ya,
