no more drama

i'm sure upon reading the title of this post you had no inkling that this would even have to do with my girls:) not sure if anyone else out there encounters similar occurences with their girls(or boys)but as mason likes to put it, our girls are drama!(aka emotional to the most possible extent of the word)last night sila was given specific instructions not to do something(can't remember) and she disobeyed. mason sent her to her room for the rest of the night-to her dismay. she kicked and screamed on the way to her room where she elevated the already intense situation to the...yes,next level.

sila: oohhhhhhhhh!!! i can't even BREATHE!!!!!!!
mom: uh huh...you're allright...you can breathe...
sila: no...i...CAN'T!!! you just want me to DIE!!!

mason and i looked at each other and mason asked me if she had a nap this week to which i replied, "no".
there you go.

today's to do list:
1) nap for sila
2) nap for sila
3) nap for sila
you get the picture.

too much

laundry. i have too much laundry to do. i've been doing a minimum of 3-5 loads a day for the last 3 days and i see no end in sight. what the heck!? maybe i should just give the kids(and mason) 7 pairs of shirts, pants, socks, underwear and call it good.

new record

mese had his second to last basketball game yesterday. score was 40-10,mese's team won. he broke his own record for number of points scored in a single game by shooting 9 baskets for 18 points yesterday! he was so excited-even though he did tell us before the game that his goal would be 13 baskets...what can i say? he's ambitious. GO MESE!!!

halfway mark

tomorrow marks the halfway point of my goal to a better, healthier life. progress? it's been slow but steady. after the first week, the next 3 weeks were rocky and then i kept teetering the week after that. however, i'm happy to say that i haven't done too badly and i'm ready to start anew! i'm enjoying exercise-which i've NEVER experienced before and never thought i would. but i'm feeling optimistic about the next 6 weeks and i know it'll be all right. i have a fabulous support group and i figure it can only get better.

record

today mese scored 16 pts. in his basketball game, winning 26-46. it's a new record for him. this time, he didn't try to shoot a 3 pointer:) GO LIGHTNING!

great

yesterday morning at breakfast...

nani: mom, i'm going to eat all my yogurt so i can have a big belly like you and dad!

great.
