Back to Reality

We have been in vacation mode around here.

Which basically means staying up late and sleeping in.

Sleep in is such a wonderful thing.

I really wouldn't mind a few more days/weeks of vacation.

Oh well, like they say all good things must come to an end. Vacations have to eventually end, and in order to thrive we must be productive. If it sounds like I'm trying to talk myself into being happy about our winter break coming to an end you would be correct.

The normal crazy business of our lives returns in full force today.

I get to go and meet my future students today and I am nervous.

Belly ache I don't wanna go do I really have to do this nervous. Sometimes I kind of wish I could crawl under my covers and not come out.

I guess that isn't really an option.

If you too are joining back with the real world today have a wonderful vacation is over we can do this day.

Me, Myself and I said…
As much as I enjoyed vacation and lazying around, myself and the kids are glad to get back to the routine. Today was back to the good'old grind with Mommy as Chauffer and everyone fell into place, just as I've trained them to do. Thank you, routine!

In the picture I noticed your VTech phone, and I was like, "WHA?! VTech makes phones?!" We have VTech toys scattered about this room here. SO, which came first, the phone or the toys? (My guess is the grown up stuff came first, then they branched out into toys.) Such deep thoughts I have.

That phone is olddd... Well considering how many cell phones we have been through since we bought that phone it is practically ancient.

So you are probably right the little kid toys came after the big kid toys.

Aren't you glad to have the routine back. 100% Obedient children to boot. Go Ash!!!

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
