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!

PS (Quit Reading write now if you don't want to see the ugly truth)



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!!

Ride 103.5 miles, CHECK!

Friday 9:40 am I have always lived my life defined. Meaning that I know who I am and I know my capabilities. I am perfectly aware of what I can and can not accomplish. Which is why I never do anything that I wont succeed. Also, a reason why I don't do a lot of things. A LOT! Among the definition of who I am is, "Not an athlete." Really, when we get down to it, it is the reason why I am freaking out about a 100 mile bike ride. Athletes ride a 100 miles, non-athletes aka Krissi do not ride 100 mile bike rides. It is very very simple. Yet here I am messing with my very own definition. I have every confidence that I will reach the end of the ride tomorrow. I have trained, I have worked, I have screwed with the very definition of who I am. Leaving the only option of finishing and dealing with what I have done to myself. I am positive that somewhere around 50 miles I will question and doubt my capability of finishing. I am positive that I will remember, "I am not athlete!...

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...

The Second of December

Today is already the second day of December. If I'm not careful the month is going to pass in a blink. Today is also the second day of Hanukkah. I watched the lighting of the National Menorah on TV today and realized how grateful I am to live in a country where we celebrate and embrace all different cultures, religions, and people. It is pretty awesome! I just wanted to pop in for a few minutes and say "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!" Krissi
