Sunday 9:43

It is Sunday night at 9:43 and a small part of me does not want to start at post at 9:43.

Because starting a post at 9:43 might mean staying up later than 10:00.

I must be in bed my head nestled on my pillow and headed to dream land by 10:00.

Tomorrow is Monday a long week of work, parenting, teaching, leading, and ect... is in front of me.

10:00 is mandatory for me to function. That is what I tell myself, "If I get to bed by 10:00 my week will be perfect."

 The truth is I don't really have a lot to post.

Well, okay I could tell you that my baby is now driving.

The weather here in Utah is crazy, icy, snowy, and foggy bad. The fact that I have to let her drive practically kills me.

I don't want her driving.

 I don't want her driving in this horrible weather.

However, I have to let her grow up.

Yah..yah.. yah.. blah.. blah... blah....

I could tell you that January has been a challenging month. 2013 did not start off with a bang.

More like a fizzle and a plop.

Nothing horrible.

Nothing life changing.

Just fizzle.

I'm dealing with all kinds of challenges right now. Including a women who doesn't like me very much.

I'm about ready to punch her.

Okay, that is a lie I wouldn't punch her. I mean I want to. I want her to know I'm a nice person dang it!! Quit being so horrible to me.

Guess if she believed I was a nice person she wouldn't be so horrible.

Maybe I'm not a nice person.

I don't know, I'm trying that is all I can say,  every day I am trying.

One of these days this blog will once again have actual post.

I will post about being a mom,  wife, teacher, women.... you know those things.

For now you get rambles...

Oh and a public wish for sunny days...

I may even plant some flowers in my window just so I can remember that winter will eventually end.

It is 10:00 so I'm signing off.

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. ...
