Sunday Update

Hi all=
gosh I am so bad at updating! I guess I am too busy living ;)
anyways my mom moved about two hours away.. yay!
B and I went on a road trip on friday to visit her... she lives in
Yakima... on a farm. We pulled up and she has a herd of sheep
on her lawn! B and my mom fed the sheep and b was giggling
so much... it made me smile!

Work is going great. I was just offered a job teaching at
a real yoga studio. I will teach on saturday mornings, in
addition to what I do at the gym. It will be great to expand
myself to a traditional studio... makes me look good ;)

G is up for a couple jobs in California again. This time
one in San Rafael. I am hopeful. I think this could be the
key to our family's happiness.. if we went back to cali.
I don't know.. taking it all one day at a time.

Went out with some clients to dinner tonight. Had a blast.
There are many friends I would miss if I moved away... but
well, I have done that so many times before I have to believe
what is meant to be... will be...

Love to you all!

Potty Trained, Visualization, and Life

So it is done. B is potty trained. More than a week... no accidents. Not pee or poop. He is in his big boy undies all day... awesome. I am so proud of him. Now, nitetime is a whole other thing, but I am psyched!

I have a story to tell...
One of my clients is totally into astrology. She asked me what my sign was, what g's sign was and B's sign was... all on my first session with her! Recently she has been into visualization. Seems the things she visualizes happens. Four out of four so far, she claims. Anyways, she told me she had a 'very vivid visualization' about me. That there will be a new student in one of my yoga classes, turns out that new student will be a producer. That producer is in the process of creating a set of six new yoga dvds and looking for six teachers with different styles. Someone has told her about my class... and she wants to hire me to do a dvd. wow. just that she thought or visualized this makes me smile. I really hope it happens.

G did not get the lastest job, we were sure he would get. We are struggling... in life. I guess it makes sense. this has been a rough time. We are taking each day as it comes.

I have been getting recruited to teach yoga at a very swanky yoga studio - to teach power vinyasa. I am hopeful... and have an interview on friday. I will/would just add this to my current schedule. Heck, we need the money and I could use the exposure.

Miss you all!

Poop on the Potty

So he has done it. Three times now... with me. B has pooped on the potty.
we are on our way...
I am really proud of him.

Life is crazy right now. I cannot say much except... life is hard
at home now. But I am going to San Francisco tomorrow.
I cannot wait to see Steph, Matt and Mike.
I need it.

Love to you all.

The Joy of Potty Training

My son. So strong. Has a mind of his own. All good traits when directed properly. But in potty training a nightmare. G decided B is too old not to potty trained. On thursday I came home from work to a literal standoff between my 3 and a half year old son and 42 year old husband. B was literally naked. G was pissed off. B refused to poop on the potty. Our potty training has been non stop since then. It is now Tuesday. Yesterday B hada completely dry day. meaning he had no accidents in his underwear. But he did not poop either. He has been holding it. he usually goes about two days... and then poops in his pants. WIll not poop on the potty. this morning we are at over two days no pooping. Pee is going great... but please tell me I will laugh about this someday.
GRRRRRR

Sooooo long....

Gosh I just realized it has been so long since I last posted.
Life is continuing on as usual. G is still looking for a job.
we decided to turn down the offer in eastern washington... not enough
money, and we do not want to live there. Phew!

Now, G is a finalist for a job here in Seattle. I really hope it works out.

My mom was here last week... B loved being with Nanna. She spoiled us.
We got lots of treats, and a fun fun visit. My mom had a third interview
with a reservation in Yakima. They basically offered her the job, but it
won't be official until the end of the week. So my mom will be moving within
two hours of us - within the next month. I cannot believe it. I cannot wait!!!

Work for me is going well. We are doing a 'Fitness Challange'... it is 60 days. Each trainer
has a team - looking to either loose the most % of weight (body fat) or gain the most
lean tissue. I have ten members of my team - they are awesome. I signed three new
clients this month because of the challange.... so it is great!

Two of my best friends had babies last month. Kerry - my longest best friend.. .over 20 years
had a precious little girl Elyse. I miss her so much I wish I were there to hold little Elyse and
kiss Kerry. I cannot wait for our spa trip together - just the two of us - in Feb.

Then my neighbor, and friend, Erica had a little girl - Gabriella. She is so sweet. I loved
holding her in my arms. Newborns are so amazing. But oh, so much work. I am so happy for both my my friends. I love you both.

B is in the throws of potty training. Well, G is working hard... but it is a long process for B.
He is a tough one. Cannot wait for no diapers!

hope you all are still checking in... sorry I have been so lame. Life is crazy!
