my kids are sitting on the table eating pretzels and watching blue birds outside. They are making a mess, but they are making me laugh. Sam said he wanted to be a truck driver when he grows up. Jake used to aspire to be a Bus driver, but now it is a paleontologist. My head hurts every time it gets raining here, it bugs but it is manageable.
We are getting ready for our trip to LV next week, pretty excited. I want to see Phantom, I saw it almost 20 yrs ago in LA with my college roommates. I loved it. But then there is KA Cirque de Soliel, anyone seen it??

I wonder if Maggie will have a fat complex because we call her "MOO" all the time
I wonder when it is time to step in when a child is having some trouble with friends
I wonder why I have been off sugar for almost 3 weeks, did a detox for three days, and lost 9 lbs that I think it is not enough. Why can't it just come off over night. and no I do not want to hear you didnt put it on over night. Kind of when I was pregnant with Anna I pretty much did gain it overnight. I am actually excited for results. and shamelessly bragging about my efforts. Please be excited for me, because it gives me validation.
Is putting my kids in private school next year the right answer?
Where is the perfect place (ok near) for our family?
Why does it have to get so HOT here????
I dont like rats and bugs or mosquitoes, and tornado terrify me? even though I have never had a close close encounter with any rats or tornadoes.
Why don't my kids get along all the time?
How come I don't know all the answers to my kids incessant questions and though I am college educated feel dumber than a box of rocks sometimes? and really "they" were right nobody cares about my GPA or degree, anyway my kids don't.
How come I have so much gray hair? When should one use GREY or GRAY?? I cannot believe I have not have a cut or color since December, yikes. It is frightening.
Should I feel guilty for driving a huge SUV since it is Earth Day?? I don't really. I do not cut dryer sheets up, don't cut my dishwasher soap, sometimes leave the water on while brushing my teeth, don't recycle those plastic bags and though I have tons of cute reusable ones find it a hassle to bring them to the store. I even throw away things I shouldnt. I don't make my kids use reusable snack bags or laptop lunch boxes. I am not really as green as I think I am.
WHy do you love your kids SO VERY MUCH when you see them asleep? almost enough to want to wake them up to cuddle...almost I know better than to wake a baby. When I had Anna the nurse insisted I did to feed. MISTAKE.
How can I get excited about cleaning the same floor, emptying the dishwasher more. I think there is some Camilla Spencer quote to that effect. Again I have trouble with effect as opposed to affect sometimes.
Why do I hate when people give me unsolicited advice so much? ESPECIALLY people with less kids. Maybe they do know something I could benefit from. I doubt it though. and where did that saying "Boy, You've got your hands full" come from. Or are you going to have more kids? What kind of birth control? really? annoying
well crazy Moo needs to be put in her jammies and then our last run to pick up big sister from dance.

We were very happy that the AC guy came this afternoon...funny how today when it is cool and the air conditioning doesn't need to be on anyway. I am sure enough that it will be roasting hot soon enough though.
today is the busiest day of the week, with piano, dance for both girls, and Jake's gym. and EG is practicing for the Ward talent show. Chris signed up our family to do a skit. The big kids and he will be in it. I thought about bringing in some birth videos and saying my talent is having kids, gross! kidding! I am thinking of bringing in some old drawings or me and my pregnant friend Autumn will do some Zumba. I know I am not quite as funny as I think, but as long as I make myself laugh right?!

il fait chaud
it is getting hot in Mississippi, our AC is not working. Today I will be glad (but this might be the ONLY day) that we are renting bc we will not have to pay to get it fixed.
I am annoyed that we have stayed home all day waiting for the ac guy to come, and he is not. Really though we couldn't go anywhere because miss Maggie has a weird rash. All but two of the kids J and HN have had and still get weird rashes. Anna is all puffy and red and scaly, she and Mississippi springtime do not get along well!
I wanted to go to Spin this morning, at first I HATED this class, and still I went and after a bunch of pain meds for a sore bottom for the first few weeks, I still hate this class. However I love it at the same time. Maybe the closest thing to a "runner's high" I have felt. It pushes me and I feel like I've accomplished something when it is done. My friend Autumn and I go to a few other classes, like Zumba, power (a weight lifting class), circuit, blah blah. I am glad she goes.
I have finally come to the realization that one cannot (well this slow metabolism that is not getting any younger) eat whatever they want especially with saying I work out. Many of you already know this, but this is my lightbulb coming on. I've done weight watchers after Jake and had good results, I tried Atkins and south Beach but I am not a carnivore with only liking bacon, pepperoni, and sometimes a Hebrew National Hotdog so those aren't great options for various reasons. I am using thedailyplate.com it is good for me. FOUR pounds in 3 days, if you are skinny you will not get those kinds of results. It may be water but still nice to see. Plus no sugar, and no eating after 6pm.
I bought a new scale and saw I GAINED 6 pounds of the 16 I have lost since joining the gym the last week of October. I averaged about 3 times per week, with kids being sick and such missed a few weeks here and there.
Since my 40's are creeping up, I think that I really need to commit to change. (not Obama's kind though)
I will try not to think of the last TWELVE years I have been overweight after gaining 77 lbs with baby number one and never getting it off. I never made ME a priority.
I cannot get enough of this salad right now, butter lettuce, walnuts, raspberry vinaigrette, and BLUE CHEESE. I love it. it is good maybe not as good as the Carver's Salad or a Italian salad with Zia's dressing but right now it's what I am all about, that and some Chobani Greek yogurt! oh, and add in some scallions too, it makes it even more fabulous!!!
Maybe when I figure out this new external hard drive I will post pictures from Spring Break, Easter, GPA Sam visit, dirtbikes, the pink go Cart, and the rest of our crazy life!
