Meeeee MeMeMe

I'm in ME mode right now. Feeling frustrated. I've been working hard at trying to eat only good things (with one day off each week) and am doing what I can to exercise. Usually that means 3 mile walk/run at 5 a.m. which I actually love. Well...I love it if Star hasn't been up all night, then I just love sleep. Anyway...so far, no change. I've only been at it for about 3 weeks so I guess I should be more patient, but really...you'd think I'd have noticed something? I think maybe I just need an attitude adjustment...or more sleep (Star).
Today is a Pajama day. My goal is to scrub the house and ignore all the piles of things that need to be gone through before we move...like the box of electronic cords. Yes, we have a whole box. I'd say just trash the whole thing but I'm pretty sure we'll need a few of them when we get to where we are going.
I AM feeling trunky. Like I just want to pack my trunks and move already. At the same time, I'm trying to get in a few last adventures in Hawaii while I still can. This means Hiking every Friday. If you live in Hawaii and have time on Fridays, you should join me. Its always more fun with friends.
My hair is beginning (or has for a while) to resemble a bush. I should get it trimmed, but I'm loving the long hair. I'm trying to embrace my fro...er, my curls. I should get it trimmed anyway. I'm just really REALLY cheap and you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to getting your hair done. So, rather than a bad cut or an empty bank account, I'm opting for the bush. For now.
I signed up to participate in the Great Aloha Run one week and one day after I turn 31. This entails getting up and out the door by 4 a.m., making my way downtown, standing around for 2 1/2 hours, walking (that's right...I'm NOT a runner. Yet.) 8.15 miles, crawling across the finish line, and dying on the floor of the stadium. It will be a wonderful sight to see, I can assure you. I may come back from the dead later in the week though. That part is still up in the air.
Miss Fabulous is the best cheerleader on her soccer team. She runs behind the girls on her team yelling, "kick it! Great Job! Go for the Goal!"
Star is rolling over, Finally. It took her a while to be able to twist that chubby body around. Now she's starting to get up on her elbows and knees and rocking. She also REALLY likes the sound of her own voice and likes to practice "talking" in the wee hours of the morning.
I guess I have procrastinated my chores long enough. Star is awake and I can make a bunch of noise. Happy Pajama Day people.

I hate moving. HATE it, which is why I hope to not have to do it ever again!
I still need to cull through and get rid of stuff though, or I will be overtaken by the clutter!
I admire your exercising and eating right. I just think about doing those things.

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

Image
I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
