You say you want a revolution, well....do you?
It's a miracle. I've worked out almost every day for almost 2 months now! I've been watching those P90X infomercial for months thinking how much I wanted to be that fit. And a few months ago, when the dog bit Sam, I picked Sam up in a panic and my tweaked my lower back AGAIN. I realized that I've been throwing my back out way too much lately and that I HAD to do something about it before I really hurt myself. So I ordered it. And it works! I've lost 5 lbs. and gained a lot of muscle and I still have one more phase before I complete the first round. I feel great! And I enjoy it. Mostly. The best part is that you burn so many calories doing the workouts that you don't need to restrict your calories. You actually need to increase your calories to fuel your body! I am supposed to eat about 2200 calories to maintain! 2000 if I want to lose. Crazy! Highly recommended and two thumbs up!
And I'm obsessed with Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. Great show. I hope he continues and the country is inspired to make the change. I know Michelle Obama is also trying to make some changes so hopefully between the two of them they can make a difference. Fast food does NOT belong in our schools. French fries aren't a veggie. Our kids deserve better. So do our teacher. Imagine trying to teach kids after eating that crap when their blood sugar crashes. If you haven't already, sign the petition. Please?? Sign Jamie's Food Revolution Petition!

I can't just stop at one....
So Sydney is doing wonderful in school. Her teacher raves about how smart she is. She is doing great in reading - she's super fast! And she loves math (gets that from Daddy). She has a best friend named Nichole. She comes over for sleep overs all the time!
Watch how they amuse themselves...
Sydney went to "Uniquely Me" again this year for her Girl Scouts Troop. It's a fun day for the girls where they have different booths and information to support self esteem in girls. She did the fashion show again - this time in her own outfit. She did awesome!
Her and Sam have really picked up on roller skating. Daddy even comes sometimes. Now THAT'S fun to watch. :-) He secretly enjoys it too.Watch Sydney, Sam, and Daddy skate...

Writers block or pure laziness? You be the judge.
It's been waaaay too long since I blogged. I have been busy but this is ridiculous. Where to start?
Sam started preschool in February. She did so well - not a tear or plea for me to stay. "Bye Mommy!" She didn't even look back. I was amazed since she had such a horrible week before. Between vaccinations, a cold, and the dog bite (more on that later), I was prepared for the worst. But she was ready. So was I actually. It wasn't as hard as I expected. I was very proud of my big girl. Preschool was short lived though - her last day is next Friday. Sydney is off in May and Sam starts kindergarten in July so we're taking the rest of the summer off for the last bit of mommy time. Here is Sam's first day of preschool. You can see how pale she is (from the cold) and the dog bite and bruising. She was such a trooper. This picture makes me want to cry.
So the dog bite. Well Sam loves our dog. Our dog loves Sam. But Sam has no fear of said dog (even AFTER the bite!!). We've been trying to tell her to back off and love her a little more gently, and from afar, but she just can't help herself. So I was sitting on the couch, Hannah was sleeping on the floor, and Sam walked up and lay her head on Hannah's belly. It must have startled Hannah from her sleep, because I hear a growl and looked up to see Sam on the floor with Hannah on top of her. Those 2 seconds it took me to get from the couch to the floor were the worst ever. So she bit Sam on the face, inches from her eye and left a few bruises and tooth marks. I grabbed Sam and ran down the street to urgent care in a panic. She was fine and not in need of stitches. Very lucky little girl. Lucky dog too because my first instinct was to put her down. But she's never done this before and I have myself to blame for not teaching Sam how to handle her pets. We're working on the rules and Hannah doesn't spend as much time inside as she used to. Poor thing was getting used to being spoiled too.
