I Think I Can...

I'm feeling a little like, "The Little Engine that Could," this morning.

A little loop is sounding in my head, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."



What I'm saying is I'm feeling a little unprepared to jump back into the real world.

Vacations are nice!

Vacations are needed!

However, getting back into the swing of things kind of bites!

Three days into the New Year and all my hard work to be more optimistic is swirling down the drain.

Guess what I am trying to say is, if you are having a hard time getting back into the swing of things today, you're not alone.

Happy Vacation is Over Monday!

I warned you!

Okay, you know I'm super Pollyanna, right? I was thrilled this morning because with the end of vacation comes the start of school. School means great things to learn for my kids and fun experiences they'll tell me about when they get home. School means routine, structure and schedule (the boys and I do best when we work within a schedule). School means seeing friends, and enjoying the attentions of their teacher. School means Christopher and I get to have quiet time together. School means a definite dinner time where we are all together. School means a quiet house in the evening, clean children in bed ontime, and a couple hours of alone time with Mr. Moore.

I was so stinking excited for vacation to end today!

That said... I have missed the noise and the fighting, because the cacaphony meant that the kids were home. I suppose I must go snuggle a baby and make up for the lack of fights.

<3 you!!

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. ...
