Recent Happenings


Well the most exciting thing literally, is that the sun has been out for 3 or 4 days!! I feel like a different person in spring & summer. I have a little more energy & I definitely have more ambition. I just feel pretty happy. I am trying not to get used to it though...spring around here is tricky. Yesterday I took the children to the pond on base...it is a little ways from my house so it was great exercise. The babies loved it...we saw an eagle! Today I took them to the gym. They have a family workout room & you can watch the kids play through a glass partition. It's nice if there aren't too many people there...otherwise it's scary! Eric has our move almost completely set up. I hope nothing big gets broken this time:( I watched a show about Tokyo & the people on the train were so crammed it looked like one of those college phone booth contests...the door wouldn't even close, they had to literally shove the people in to get the door to close...omg! NO, I am claustrophobic & I can't even think about that right now. I will deal with it if & when it happens, but I hope I do not experience that! I bought a Japanese language book...um, wow...I have no English or Japanese words to describe how lost I am when I look at that book....I will stick to the CD we borrowed for now. I only know 2 words, yes & no. Eric has a list of countries that he will get to visit, and he takes great pleasure in reminding me about that...not nice! I hope that I get to visit a few...I BETTER get to:)
One week & 3 days of home daycare left. I really will miss these babies. I know that they are not mine, but they feel like it. I am used to spending 9-10 hours with these little people, we have a routine & we know each other very well. They are good kids, I am kinda sad about leaving them:(
Not much else going on. I have been eating yellow squash for several days. I fry it with a little EVOO, hehe, & flour. It is light & delicious. I am trying to eat light at lunch to shed a few unsightly lb's. I looked in the mirror & caught a glance of horrid back fat eww. I almost screamed in dismay. I immediately instant messaged my sister to see if she new how to get rid of it, but she didn't know any good moves. I think I need to step up my weight program a little. It isn't like it's new, it just jumped out at me & looked bigger than usual, unacceptable.
One last thing. My good friend Stacy is going to have a baby:)I am so happy for her & Andy. They have a beautiful 8 year daughter who was the flower girl in our wedding & I know she is going to be a great big sister! I am very excited for them.

Yes and no are very important words to know. When do you all move?

Wow! What a move! I would be so nervous...but also excited :) I hope you keep up your blog when you move. I bet you will have a lot to tell.

I have a lot of respect for anyone who does daycare. It takes a very patient, kind person to do that :)I am sure they (the kids and their parents) will miss you too.
