Uggggghhhh!!

Do you ever just have the best intentions??? And the intentions that you have are of the dietary sort? When I woke up today it was coffee and steel-cut oatmeal. For lunch, I visualized low-fat cottage cheese and tomatoes. I was so strong for about 2 hours. What did I actually have for lunch? Hmmmmmm, buttered toast, 1/2 PB&J sandwich(you know, I wouldn't want to waste food), 1/2 sausage and my all time nemesis of self-control....diet coke. WOW!!!! My discipline is staggering!! I am left speechless by the sturdiness of my character. I wouldn't feel bad if that was just one day. However, this has been going on for months and my uuhhh, behind is making a fine display of my dietary indiscretions. And let me tell you, no, I did not give birth to my 3rd child but I sure feel like I did.

DID YOU SEE LANCE????

The AMGEN Tour of California passed through our little town. Yes, people, RIGHT NOW, Lance Armstong is sleeping down the street!!! I was at work today(hmmppfff) but Rob took the kids to see the tour pass by. It was over in well, just a few seconds. You can see it here. I'm sure our kids were just thrilled to be there (not at all) and I was really bummed to miss it.


I have no idea what the crazy sounds on the video are.....

REACHING NEW LEVELS OF INSANITY

You know when you start out with your first baby? All prepared for any moment that could possibly happen? Tylenol, toys, wipes, diapers are always at your reach. The second baby comes and gosh, you know, MOST the time you have what you need but there are definitely times you don't. You just have to look a little harder because you're not as organized. Oh, THERE are the wipes and diapers (geez, it's a good thing there's one more!). The third one comes along and now I pretty much NEVER have what I need, despite serious efforts toward a more organized life. Well, today, I have reached new depths. Elias was crying, shall we say "strenuously" and we were on a bit of a road trip. Desperate for a toy, I dug a straw (he loves them) out the trash, gave it a quick clean up because I could actually find the wipes and voila, happy baby. It's just one of those moments where you look at yourself and say, "Did I really just dig something out of the trash and give it to my baby? REALLY????"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS KIERA!!!
