WANTED--simple stress relief...

so, once again, i have been extremely busy. i actually ran out of clean underpants the other day because i can not keep up with the laundry (yeah, i know i need to check into what the hold up is on my extra laundry help) so i ran around commando all day. we are almost done with the new shop and this has been taking a lot of time from my limited time already, we be moving in this weekend. just getting the permanent power up there has been a total nightmare, then we put off the security guy, well guy, phone guy, pest control guy* so i had to meet all these people in the past three days (usually we both girls in the suv and my brand new dvd player is not working and i can not get replaced until friday. what did parents do before tvs were available in the car???) . i am hoping so very soon i will have more time to sit down and hang out with a glass of wine and my favorite computer. in the meantime here are a few pictures of the girls and there many ways at helping stay sane. (sometimes)

this is how we entertain the girls while preparing dinner. (oh, yeah i have only cooked twice in the past two weeks)annie doing her daily squats

daddy showing annie how to improve her technique!

izzy showing off her new backpack and lunch box for school. she is so excited! i hope this carries over to the first day and that moment she realized mommy is leaving her there.

ps. dear husband has started a blog....we will see if he keeps it up and if he does i will post his link, so you can see how my better half thinks....we are totally different.

pss. i have lost 5lbs but it is not coming off like i hoped for...this may have to do with my diet, i am sure.

**walking through the back metal building the other day i saw dozens of snake skins. not like the ones you would see at the zoo, you know anywhere from 6" to a foot, no these were like 6ft to 8 ft long. while i handled this with just a few skips of the heartbeat, i can only imagine how i would feel if confronted by one of these "bull" snakes. i feel like i would be okay and not freak like i do when confronted by a spider (future blog idea....all my nutty fears) but i am sure while i immediately stop breathing i would probably pee in my pants a little bit, shout something like *&%#$ and run backwards so fast i end up tripping over my own feet.
