%%%%clean-terrific-wednesday%%%%

Kate, my trick is to pull them from iphoto and pretend like i'm going to email them (then it asks what size you want them - choose small) and it will put them in the email body. then i just drag and drop them to my desk top and upload them from there.
 
Somehow I posted this on yesterday's thread...

Here's Annabel the day after she was born and Ellie about 5 min after birth.

oh, i need to post new pics. when dh g\ets back i will get more computer time. what a fun morning - walk with the boys, and finn and i played outside while aidan napped. lunch is done and was clean but odd - raw veggies and hummus, yougart and cottage cheese. snack was 1/2 A KASHI GRAN BAR, CHEESE, AND APPLE. sorry for the cap lock! got some of the stuff i needed at th store - i have no patience for a big shop. poor aidan is getting fussy again:( i am sure it is the antibiotics.

klaud, sorry for the rainy weather. any crafts you could do this afternoon? i am not crafty, but it seems like a good idea.

kate, i ahd a cleaning person once a week when i was working. my mom signed her on to continue until we move. it is such a help with all our showings. i still clean 2 times a week.

anne, imax 2 is great. i love the blast only premix. things okay on the home front? silly question i guess. do you have a therapist to talk to for yourself?

angie, my first name is nina. you can call me whatever you like:) good job with the wo, and i love the pics.

patti, your wo sounds like fun. what is for dinner tonight?

hi colleen - good plan with the wo tomorrow.

hope everyone naps soon. roast turkey breast for dinner (3$ at the store!) with spinach and swt potato. any ideas what to do with frozen thawed chopped spinach to getmy kids to eat it?
 
I think my biggest problem is the age gap-dds are 9 1/2, 6 1/2, and 2 1/2, and the boys are 8 and 4 1/2. The younger ones want to do what the older ones do. And they're too close for comfort. I'm going to rent them a movie this afternoon and make muffins. I may even have to break out the play dough-yikes!

Morris, I love your name! The friends who have a Zoya also have a Nina (and a Sophia too:)) And I have a younger cousin named Nina too-so pretty! Can you make a pesto out of the spinach and mix it into pasta with a lot of parmesan?
 
Morris: Nina is a beautiful name- it was on our list for girl names. :)

Klaudia: I saw on OD that you ordered Amy Bento's newest- you will LOVE it. It's a great workout. Someone on the Hardcore thread does it with weighted gloves but I um, don't need to do that to work my butt off. :p

ETA: I love the newborn pictures Angie! You are NOT helping baby lust!

Here is a picture from Christmas! Can you believe that is the last decent shot of my face??

Klaudia, that's A LOT of kids to keep busy! Sounds like a good plan you've come up with!

Angie, You are evil!:p No talk of cookie baking! Gina asked me to make an apple pie!:eek: She wants to help!!

Morris, :cool::cool: on the cleaning lady!
My kids will eat spinach raw but not cooked.... You could put it in spag sauce maybe?
And I love your name too!:D

Patti, You are so pretty! :D:D I'm always on the floor with my kiddos too!:D And I can't remember the last pic of me either!

-
Did CS Muscle Chains! Felt so good! My house is falling apart but don't care! I needed that!
Quiet time for DDs is almost over - then I'm puttin' em to WORK!:p I'm w/ Klaudia - rainy day/inside = bad attitudes!
 
Morris, can I call you whatever I'd like? How about late for dinner? Ha! I love the name Nina, too, very pretty. Thanks for asking--things are not okay on the home front, but c'est la vie, eh? Angie, I know you asked too. Jim told me a few days before he left that he doesn't want to be married anymore. We're to the point where we have to decide who's going to keep the house. We were going to talk to our therapist about it before we decided that, but then his aunt died and he had to go. I have no idea how he'll feel when he gets back. I see our therapist by myself tonight so I'll get her take on it. She told us the last time we were there together that now is not the time to make big decisions like staying together or splitting up, but Jim's just so unhappy he doesn't know what else to do.

I'm not happy either, the difference is I'm willing to stay and put the work in that's needed to get things back on track. I don't think he is.

So I'm feeling very sorry for myself these days. It has been nice to have the house to myself, though, at least there's no tension.

Wow, I just dumped all over all of you, didn't I? Sorry about that!

anne
 
sorry I've been mia...just got home from grocery shopping at Walmart I had to spend over $400:confused:.

Anne I so sorry.:(

WOW i missed so much of the chat.

BBL I promise

Meatless Mexican dinner tonight.

(((ANNE))) my heart is breaking for you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

Morris, I'm not sure I can change to Nina... I think of you as Morris. :) I love the name though! It's slightly more feminine! ;)

Kate, hope the walk makes your baby happy! Or at least less cranky.

Patti, I love your pic. I have very few pics of me too. I'm always behind the camera!

Robin, that's a heck of a lot of $$ at wal mart! What did you buy?

Klaudia, hope your day is getting better!

PB cookies in the oven for Ryan who came home tired and cranky...
 
anne, i am so sorrry. it sucks when it is beyond your control. fwiw, i agree with your therpist, but you cannot change jim i guess. take care of yourself - you are amazing and strong.

angie, pb cookies sound soooooo good.

patti, what a lovely picture. so nice to put a name with the face.

kate, sorry for the teething baby. hope you can get some quiet time. walks are good distractions. bathtubs too!

robin, what did you buy?

kluad, i am jealous of your new amy wo. but, i will not be enabled. what is your pesto recipe? finn is excited to try "pesto pasta":D
 
Movie starts in 10 minutes and so does my workout!

Anne, sending you lots of love. Your spirit and attitude amaze me.

Robin, I spent that much on Sunday-luckily I used MIL's gift card for part of it:)

Patti, you are gorgeous!

Angie, so sweet to make cookies for your hubby!

Morris, here's one I found thta looks pretty easy. I must confess I've never made it, just seen recipes for it: http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/spinach-pesto-pasta-recipe.htm

Here's another one: http://www.realsimple.com/food-reci...spinach-pesto-pasta-00000000008994/index.html
 
I'm back from Blockbusters:eek:...when is the first day of school...these kids are driving me crazy.

Angie I'm not sure what I brought in Walmart. All I remember is buying a new kbell and some food.:confused: I blacked out.

Did you ladies hear the news about Amy Bento? You know I not the kind of girl to gossip;) but she is not doing any new DVDs this year because she is preggo and is going to marry Phil Ross that hunkie kickboxing guy.:)


Also i have good news my other cousin Kim is going to have a baby in Sept and she will bring the baby to NC. She plans to spend her maternity leave here with Irene. YAY I feel like I'm having a baby. BTW Kim is Tracey's younger sister but she is not crazy.
 
Morris, I used to make spinach pesto in the blender, like the first recipe Klaudia posted. It's yummy!

Thanks for all the kind words. I don't feel amazing, but I think it's easier to appear that way in writing rather than in person.

But do you know what I have to look forward to? I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow night, one of my very favorite things to do. And on Sunday I'm going to see Savion Glover, that tap dancer I told you guys about. Klaudia, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival has started:

Anne: I'm so sorry- I know we don't know each other that well yet, but I wanted you to know that I am sending you positive thoughts.

Robin: Yep, I read about Amy over in OD- I admit that although I am happy for her, I wanted that drop set workout she was going to do! Oh well, maybe next year. Babies are a priority. :) $400 is impressive, but LOL that you remembered the KB.

Angie: Oh, I love PB cookies, especially with chocolate. Well, I like ANY cookie with chocolate.

Klaudia: That's nice that they will leave you alone during the movie so you can workout. Mine aren't quite old enough yet but I'm looking forward to that! It's really why I try to get up early at least a few times a week- that way I KNOW it's done. I don't mind juggling it other days- a girl needs her sleep.

Morris: If you lived close by, I'd loan you the Amy DVD for a while. :)

Thanks for compliments on the picture- I know you can't really see my face in the profile picture. That way you can see who you're talking to over here. :D
