1. i eat a treat as soon as i get out of bed almost every morning. if there isn't something homemade, there is usually something boughten and hidden away for my early morning addiction. it's the best way to start a day!
2. i've peed my pants numerous times since getting pregnant the 1st time, and i just can't seem to hold it very good anymore. i know.....do my kegels blah blah blah. who really sits there and thinks to wink 4 times a day though?!?! not me!
3. i'm a pretty lame mom sometimes, and the fact that my boys whine and cry when dust leaves and are the happiest when he gets home only confirms that to me every days. creativity is not me, and i'm jealous of people who are blessed with that talent.
4. i hate ants. i also hate the word hate and hardly ever use it, so i hope you get the passion behind my extreme dislike for these creatures. they are EVERYWHERE at my house, and when i was told that you couldn't leave a scrap of food out or you'd be attacked by ants, they weren't kidding! dust obviously didn't get the memo and left a cheese slice wrapper on the counter the other night. holy army of ants!!!!! thank goodness for BOP (our toxic ant killer). one army down, thousands more to go!
5. i went to my 1st zumba class last night, and i totally got my groove on! haha ya right! i just wish i could shake it like our teacher shakes it. i can get the movement down, but i have zero shaking ability!
6. our teacher told us to just go home and stand in front of a mirror and practice when someone asked her how she was so good. i couldn't bring myself to do it while dust was home last night, but i might have a mirror date while the boys have a nap this afternoon!
7. i loved doing laundry at home, but something about filling a dirty old tub with a hose once to wash and then again to rinse and letting down a dirty gray house down in our "yard" to drown out the tarantulas and snakes and geckos and to drain my dirty old tub and then ringing out towels and blankets and our clothes by hand has turned me against the chore of laundry. it's just not as fun that way.
8. i miss my dvr. there are many a good shows coming on this fall, and some of the ones i want to watch overlap which means.....that i have to choose. boo! the things you learn to appreciate by living on an island are endless!
9. skype is the most amazing thing ever! i can't imagine being on this crazy little adventure without being able to talk to our families, and i'm soooooo thankful for technology and the crazy advances that it makes all the time even though my kids still aren't allowed to have a cell phone til they're 16, and their phone won't have a texting option.
10. time to go fill the washing machine again, but have i mentioned that even though i don't the laundry that comes along with being a mom, i truly feel blessed every day to be a mom and to be blessed with these 2 amazing boys! they're the best, and i love my life!!!

When we went to Bermuda, the ants were the same...you could NOT leave a single thing on the cupboard or on the floor. Wigged me out.
Wowie. Those ants are crazy.
And you have made me fall in love with my washing machine like nobody's business! You are such a trooper.
Hey - post some pictures of Kristen's wedding! I wanna see!
I've always wanted to try Zumba! It's looks so fun, and why not dance to get in shape? Sounds good to me!
No washer and dryer?! Oh hunny...now I really feel bad for you. That would take sooooooooooo long with a family of 4! I'm also addicted to my DVR and I'm not sure how people live without it. Online episodes, I guess. And ps...I love that you went to zumba. I've been dying to try it, but canceled my gym membership...so now I have to tag along with a friend and I'm just not brave enough yet. I'm sure you can shake it like a salt shaker!
