Sitting Here!

I have been sitting in this chair since one this afternoon.

Okay, well I did get up and run a kid there and another one there and then back to get them again.

But!! Other than that I have been here ALL DAY!!


With my nose buried in a book, my fingers typing away, and my head processing information.

School is hard...and there is lots to accomplish and time keeps speeding up.

I swear what was 24 hours a year ago is more like 22 now.

I don't know how that happened but it has happened.  Do you know how it happened?

So I'm still sitting here in this chair. Except for now I'm stepping away from the book. The book that talks about Onomatopoeias, Similes, Metaphors, Alliteration, and Personification, also the structures of an atom and did you know....

Never mind I don't even think I want to know..

Tomorrow is the last night of one more class and my graduation date is now officially under a year. WOO HOO BABY!

All I have to do is survive less than 10 classes a few nasty tests and student teaching. Peace of cake, right?

Speaking of tests do you know how expensive those buggers are? It is kind of amazing how much one has to pay in order to get a job teaching.

HOWEVER!

I will take a break from my complaining to point out that I have an AMAZING Husband.

Why?

Well after paying TODAY for one of those EXPENSIVE tests and then proceeding to have a minor melt down my Husband said the most awesome thing... Well at least it was awesome in the fact that it diffused my panic attack and put life into perspective. Sometimes I really like that guy I married. He is good for me.

But don't tell him I told you.

Okay, I have more studying to do but I wanted to say HI!

HI!!

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. ...
