2 is more than double 1…

-

I know – I swear I passed 2nd grade math, but by my calculations here at home, 2 kids is more than double 1 kid. It is more than double hard to get 2 kids ready to leave for daycare, more than double hard to get laundry done, and more than double hard to get the kitchen cleaned up – and one of the kids is still breastfeeding!!! Maybe it’s because they are so close in age and Marielle isn’t doing much for herself yet, like dressing herself or eating by herself. But getting them ready is proving to be more complicated than I thought…

I am back at work and loving it, but it does leave the house work lagging behind. I’m not much for housework anyway, so I guess it’s not that much of a loss! I love the maid!!

I have to be honest and say that I would not have it any other way around here. I don’t want to stay home all day everyday, just so the house can be picked up, dishes cleaned and clothes washed. I have always been a person who thrives on chaos. Just ask my mom. If I had tons of time to do my homework, I wouldn’t do it. But if I had a volleyball game or practice, I would hurry and do my homework so I could get to practice…It’s just more fun that way. I love my chaos!!

Run. I ran on the treadmill finally today, for the first time since I got pregnant with Marielle. I have been working out on and off since I was 19. I was in college and I noticed that I was out of shape since playing high school volleyball (that first year of college may have also contributed to my out-of-shapeness) and decided to join a gym. I got a trainer and had a few workouts and I stuck with it pretty well through college. When I met Jon, he worked out as well, so it was easy for me to keep up with it. When we got married, we both worked out (usually) 4 days a week. We would get up at 5:00 and go to our separate gyms (I go to an all women’s gym) Monday through Thursday. I even continued to work out all through out my pregnancy with Marielle, but I couldn’t run from the very beginning. When I found out I was pregnant, I kept working out just as hard as usual and started spotting, so I quit running and eased up on my workouts. That was about October or November of 2007. Afte...

A friend in need.

I have a friend. An old friend. A funny friend. A favorite friend. Her name is Jaime Marrs. She was one of my 5 friends at my actual wedding and has been such a fun part of my life. I met Jaime just before my sophomore year in high school, probably in the summertime when we started practicing volleyball. She was a freshman who made the team, but man, what I remember most about her was her attitude. It's not so much that she had a bad attitude, it was that she always had a scowl on her face. I didn't like her. She didn’t talk much and didn’t smile. And she was dating one of the hottest seniors. How dare her? Anyway, one day she didn't have a ride home from volleyball practice. I was riding home with Jill, and Jill offered her a ride. On this ride we talked and laughed and I realized that this scowled-faced girl was pretty funny. I guess the rest is history because Jaime became one of my best friends throughout the rest of high school, through college, through kids, and sti...
