A Beast?

Just a couple of weeks ago a tiger was in the news for mauling a zoo visitor and attacking two others. While my heart goes out to the families of the victims I couldn't help but notice how the correspondents reported how the 300+pound beast attacked. The number 300 stuck in my brain, because it's not to far off from the number I see when I step on the scales. The thought of being close to the same weight as a monstrous attacking beast is ..well unnerving! So tomorrow as I head to the gym and leave my twinkie behind I hope no unsuspecting sole ticks me off and suffers the wrath of this___pound beast.

Potty Traning

So I've half heartedly started potty training. Only because my 2 year old has started showing interest. We've been using food coloring in the toilet for target practice. He likes it so much he cries when I take him off the potty, even after he's gone! He also likes to aim at my bath dots. I guess in a few weeks I may get serious and put some big boy pants on him. We'll see.

I Am Legend turns date night into fright night

Last night, date night, was supposed to be a relaxing, toddler free, fun evening. Instead date night turned in to fright night when we purchased 2 tickets, popcorn and drinks to go see Will Smith in I Am Legend. Very Scary! I walked out half way through. I just couldn't take it. My husband joined me a few minutes later. Oh well, maybe next time.

HOOOOOSS-n-feffer!

One of the fun things about being with family over the holidays are all of the fun games. Like hoss-n-feffer, Scene It and the new Are you smarter than a 5th grader dvd. We've also discovered a fun game called: Fact or Crap. Of course I've already mastered these and reign as champion - or at least better than my brother-in-law, David.

Merry and the two Ho's

So my dad is trying to get my toddler to say,"Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas", and all my son can get out is "Ho...Christmas". My dad then turns to him and says, "You're short a couple of Ho's and a Merry". That just doesn't sound right.

Falling Apart

This is the year I feel as if I'm falling apart. I'll be 36 the end of the month, and I've had more irritating health issues this year than at other times in my life. My husband said his year for "falling apart" was when he turned 30. I remember that year for him. It was a physical and emotional struggle. Of course, I have truly nothing to complain about in that my struggles have not been life or death. But, if I can make it through the holidays to number 36, I hope next year will be better health wise.
