Oh My!

So yeah, Cate can even escape her crib during naptime! What are we going to do with this child?
We went to the Y this morning. I did 30 minutes this time on the elliptical for a whopping two miles. Then I swam some laps in the pool. Afterwards, I sat in the steam room with [...]

Cate

I hear something clanging and banging when I woke up this morning out of a deep, nightmarish sleep. Guess who it was! Cate. The little curtain climber just figured out how to climb out of her crib. She was jiggling the door. At least she can’t open that yet. Her bedroom is pretty child proofed [...]

Comments on Preschool Days

For whatever reason, having Emma in preschool seems to motivate me. I get them fed and tidy up the house and we are out the door by 8:30 a.m. I get to preschool with time to spare. Everything goes smoothly.
Emma is still so thrilled with preschool that she runs into her teachers arms and [...]

Good Morning!

I took Cate to the Y with me. I did a yoga class which was so boring I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I should have done the step class. That’s really more [...]

Five Pounds Gone (I swear!)

Funniest thing, it’s all hair! I went to see my friend Jaimie today and she cut my hair. It’s several inches shorter and she thinned it. Why have I never thought to have that done? You should have seen my afro poof all over her deck! I know I lost five pounds.
She put some kind [...]

Growing Like a Weed

We went up to the Peaks this morning and had breakfast. It’s kind of a tradition. We visit the spot where we married way back in 1994 and take pictures of Emma beside this old pay phone to compare how big she is.

Here she is in January of 2006:

September 2007:

I took about 30 pictures [...]

So Tired

Drove up to do a party two hours away today. Man, it sucked so bad. Three girls barely over 18 and 3 adults and 2 hostesses. I got 4 orders and one was just for a freakin’ catalog!
I was so bummed. What a waste of my day. It was a gorgeous Saturday, too. I got [...]
