Messing with Me

Today is December 17th?

How in the world is it DECEMBER 17th?!

Someone must be messing with my calendars because there is no way it is December 17th.

What? No one is messing with me?

It is actually December 17th! Well then that means I'm running behind. WAY behind. Look at my to do list.

Hey, wait a minute all of that stuff is done. Today was the last day of school/work. I'm done! birthday treats check, school gifts check, and all of the above check. Believe me I have the hour and half of video to prove it.

Want to watch?

So with all that stuff done that means I get to kick back and relax.

Except! There is only 8 days left until Christmas. Two days until number one's 14th Birthday (Holy COW!) 3 days until number two's 12th Birthday (Freak!) and 11 days until number four's 8th Birthday (Sob!) and 14 days until number four's baptism (sob, sob, sob).

So really the things on the to do list left to do is longer than what has been done. MAN!!! Are you sure it is the 17th?

Fine! I believe you.

I guess I should give you warning that this coming week I have decided to break the rules and post all about my wonderful life. Okay, not so much my wonderful life but the wonderful kids I have been so blessed to raise. So if your not into the whole gushing, my kids are the best in the whole wide world, thing you might not want to read my blog.

However, I don't brag to much or at least I try not to and this coming week as part of our birthday celebrating I have decided to brag, brag, brag. Because no matter how stressed that I am that it is already December 17th!! they make all the stress totally worth it.

Happy Holidays

I brag and I complain because I blog for me. I don't care who else reads it.

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began. I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere. But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby. It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post. I have chili to cook and family to visit and.... I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone. (A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.) Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted. (The stockings after Santa's Visit) This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain. ...
