Frustrations of a "single" Mom

1. The fact that my kids know that 1/2 my bed is empty and view that as an open invitation every night at 1 am.

2. I am not man enough to start my lawnmower and feel so silly asking some to come start my lawn mower!

3. The fact that I now have to pay a sitter to watch my kids while I give blood and get my hair done, and do yoga class. (not at the same time)

4. 7 hr time difference happens to be right as I am making dinner every night.

5. I really miss food that my kids don't like.

6. I secretly miss watching Top Gear

7. My bed is cold at night(until the kids get in) and I can't sneak a nap anymore!

I hope this goes be quickly.

At least she is learning her letters

I was on the phone with a friend and was talking about her daughter Madi.
A: Is that my sister Madi?
Me: Which sister is that? ( notice I did not point out that she doesn't have a sister, why crush her dreams now?)
A: The one next door (the neighbor's name is Madison)
Me: No I am talking about Madison S.
A: Yeah the next door neighbor!
Me: No that is Madison.......something that starts with a P.
A: Penis?

OH NO here we go

Anya has a boyfriend named Cael.(pronounced Kale) I thought this was a boyfriend like the boyfriends you have when you are in preschool.

Wednesday he brought her a ring, from a quarter machine. She thanked him with a giant hug. OH NO! I AM NOT READY FOR THIS!

We were sitting at dinner and Anya was brainstorming things she could get for him. Her Papa said, "How about a bloody nose?"

She didn't like that idea, we did.

Anya funnies

Anya has said some super funny things lately and I feel I need to document them.

Today: She came downstairs in her favorite outfit and said,"People will say,"Leah Lonegan's daughter looks so fashionable."
I laughed so hard. She thinks that everyone knows me. I have a picture I'll have to upload a little later.

Yesterday: We were in the truck and Anya started talking about the vehicle she wants to have someday.
Pink mustang, with pink headlights, pink hat, gloves, jacket, pants and shoes. And Pink Floyd. Yes, she knows that is music. Her Father and Grandpa must be so proud!

Today:
A little background: When headed up a state road into a neighboring town there is a house with a 15 foot statue of something. It is like a bull, in a toga type outfit holding a snake and it has glowing red eyes.

Ed and I were talking about the "creature" and Anya pipes in from the backseat." I knew it, I knew there were monsters in this city!"

Those are the latest laughing moments.

Goals and such

This year I made a goal to increase the intensity and frequency of my workouts. We went and purchased the EA active "game" for the Wii. It is awesome and would recommend it to anyone!

I decided that this wasn't enough. A friend of mine just started running and runs at about my pace ( a jog). We have ran together once and are trying to do it more frequently. It is the first time I have run outside in the winter. I am pretty proud of myself. The 1st time we went 2.3 miles. I was a little sore the next day but not too bad. I an hoping that I will learn to enjoy running.

Worst part: The wind, and the ice. We had to do a lot of running in the middle of the road.
Best part: The smell, I love the smell of outside. The confidence that it gave me that I can do it without dying!
