Last picture taken before the (VERY STUPID and VERY OLD) camera broke. I didn't even get one decent shot!2. Within 7 days, you will teach a total of 5 one-hour classes! Two, of which, are your own and the others you will sub.
3. You will feel satisfied when other class members approach you to say things such as, "You teach a really great Pilates class," and "are you going to be the permanent teacher...we really hate the lady who teaches on Mondays." Both of these comments will really make your day and the traveling (with kids) worth while!
4. Despite all of the de-stressing and endorphin highs from doing Pilates, you will still feel the weight of Christmas and wonder if you should still make a traditional ornament for friends and family and send out a Christmas card.
5. You will remember that it is tradition! Especially when a friend reminds you that people expect it!
6. With this friendly reminder, you will quickly trot over to Michaels to buy supplies for your last minute traditional ornament creation.
7. Not only will you still have Pilates classes to teach, but you now have an ornament to create, Christmas cards to write, a combined YW project to prepare for, Christmas shopping to complete, laundry to fold and wash, a house to clean and scrub, customer orders to create and envelopes to address, meals to make, homework to help with, carpools to drive, and much, much more...
8. The clean laundry will not get folded, the dirty laundry will not get washed, the kitchen and downstairs bathroom floor will get mopped, the upstairs will remain a disaster, homework will be turned in late, customer orders will be completed, and some Christmas shopping will get done!
9. Once the Christmas tree is up, you will do your best to keep little hands from removing ornaments from the tree, but you will still find yourself constantly picking them up off the floor and returning them to the tree.
10. Very expensive electronic devices will break this week. First, your laptop will get dropped and the screen will shatter. However, the hard drive will still be in tact and the husband will hook it up to a VERY LARGE (and old) computer monitor so you can continue to blog and check your e-mail. Second, after dressing the kids for Christmas card pictures, your (very stupid AND very old) camera will just stop working.
11. Now you have to figure out how you are going to create a picture for your Christmas card!
12. Do not be surprised when your husband races down the stairs, early in the morning, shooshing everyone, and turning on the t.v. to listen to Mitt Romney's speech. He has no greater passion than Politics and Religion! Such passion will lead him to creating this...
13. Your heart will melt when your daughters teacher tells you that your sweet girl attended to someone that got hurt on the playground and your son tells you that he wants to be just like you when he grows up!
14. Your eyes will fill up with tears as you trim away your baby's mullet. You will realize it was time, but you just did not want to let go of his long, golden, baby locks!

I wish your camera worked so I could see Blake's new do! That is really CRAPPY that your camera broke because your kids look all dressed up and cute for the pictures! Somehow everything will get done and Christmas will get here...good luck with your crazy, busy life!
That is crappy about your laptop and camera. I like the crabby picture of Blake under the tree though. I saw something on TV tonight about Pilates helping with knee injuries. Something about the stretching helps. I am going to have to come do your class now since you are the best Pilates instructor. Maybe I should get a DVD first to practice. I thought Blake looked a little older today. Must have been the hair cut. I know what you mean with cutting the hair. It is sad.
PS did you get my e-mail about the toddler time on Thurs?
I can't believe your laptop got dropped...and your camera broke. At least you can still blog. You are crazy! I think we should just cut ourselves off from everyone and everything, and move to the woods. That way we won't have to make ornaments for everyone...but that will make it harder for you to commute to your Pilates classes.
I hope you went right to the store and bought a new camera!!! You can't live without one. Sounds like pilates it taking off and is keeping you really busy. I hope get a xmas card with a picture, I love them and always put them in my scrapbook, family history and all.
I can't believe your laptop got dropped AND your camera broke! The picture is cute though...Blake did not want his picture taken! I guess it was time to cut his cute little curls off, but it is sad when that day arrives. With all the hectic times, your kids always seem to make everything worth it. Love ya! (P.S. please take me off the "bad blogger" list. I actually looked earlier but waited until now to comment. Besides, maybe I'm having a hard time with your little handicapped word verification thing...jk) love ya.
I thought Blake looked different on Sunday. Cutting off the locks is so sad but his new do is handsome. Ok, your week makes me feel so tired! I can't believe all the stuff you are juggling...and you still smile!
Your number 8 and I are BFFs!!! And ps. As a hair stylist, I'm very proud of you for letting go of the curley baby mullett. You have no idea how many people let that get WAY out of hand.
