We Will Survive?

After a long day at "work," I'm still in what we will call the processing stage.

Meaning, I don't really have an opinion about how all of this is working stuff is going. There was a lot of good points about today that I will be writing about soon.

That is as soon as I am done processing the million things running through my head.

A million little thoughts zinging around inside my brain, and I would be lying if I didn't admit to a doubt or two.

Doubts are just kind of status quo for me.

This is usually when I give myself the it is all going to be great lecture. I think I will get to that later.

What I would like to talk about is the home and family. Returning to work has not been without its challenges. On one hand I have to be thankful that my husbands job slows down in January. WAY DOWN!

I can't believe I am actually thankful for his lack of hours. However, it is helping as we make this transition.

He has been super helpful, but no matter what we say there are his and her chores. Things we as women take care of that our husbands don't even realize we do. As I am sure there are things they take care of that we don't even think of.

For example, today he cleaned out the dryer line. Did you know the dyer line has to be cleaned out? Do you know that not cleaning out the dryer line can be bad? I did not know this. Well, maybe I knew it but he takes care of that stuff so I don't really worry or think about it.

I have my own list of things to worry about and now those things have to be dealt with during non-working hours. I am quickly learning the value of organization, do it now, and write it down. I am basically living by these three little rules right now.

It is kind of embarrassing to admit that my house has never been cleaner. The kids projects are getting done weeks before they are due, and my bed is made every morning.

And...

We hung out as a family tonight. We played a little DDR where the hubby was crowned king of the dance floor. WHAT?

Yup, learning that not even family time can be delayed. It is a crazy, busy, time, but I'm fairly certain we will survive. Well at least I'm pretty sure we will.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive! 

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
