One Minute Left...

Last night my boys were playing so nicely. Every few minutes we kept hearing Ja-Ja say, "we have 1 minute left". They finally called us to have us see what they were playing. Ja-Ja & Combi had created "centers" for the 3 of them to play. Apparently, my teaching has rubbed off on them.

The Reading Center

The Dance Center (music provided by the "Jam Pack Jam" car)

The Car Center

The Ball Center

They rotated every 2 minutes. Ja-Ja kept time on his alarm clock.
It was awesome! No fighting over toys, no wrestling. Everyone got a turn & everyone got along. Just when I thought they would be the death of me, they come up with this & give me some hope!

Twilight Fans!


I know there's plenty of you out there that saw it already so I'm dying to know what you thought of it. I'm not seeing it until Tue.

So how many stars would you give it?

To Gym Or Not to Gym

So it's before 7am & I'm already back from the gym & showered. For those of you that know me, you're probably in shock right now since I'm never coherent before 10am.
I started going back to the gym last week just on a trial basis & I'm not sure if I want to keep this up.
Many moons ago, I was what you may call a "Gym Nazi". I went 2 hrs a day-5 days a week. When I moved to AZ I stopped going & then proceeded to gain some serious weight. After that I vowed I would NEVER step foot in a gym again. NEVA, NEVA, NEVA! Oh, people have tried but time after time I have refused (sorry Zhateal). I figured if I ever went back, I would have to commit for life.
Unfortunately, the days of eating chocolate for breakfast are catching up with me. People said this day would come but I didn't believe it. No more eating what I want when I want. So sad...
Alas, I have returned to the place that I swore I would never go.
Like the song says,
"Should I stay or should I go now?
If I stay it will be trouble &
if I go it will be double"
