Craziness, I Tell You

Let's see, it's exactly one week before Alex and Allie's 2nd birthday.  So, I'm planning on taking off that Thursday through Monday.  You may ask, "why?"  or not.  But I will tell you anyway.

1. They have their 24 month doctor's appointment on their birthday.  I know, I'm just a crazy mom.  But, this way, this appointment will never slip through the crack.
2. Friday is their pre-school birthday party.  Meaning juggling with lunch boxes, cupcakes, juice boxes and party favors.  But wait, I will have help, my sister is planning on taking off that day also, yay, and my dad will be in town.
3. Saturday is their 2nd birthday party.  So, there will be toys to be hauled to the party site, cakes to be picked up, food and drinks to be bought, and decorations to be arranged.

So, you see, it's just sheer madness, craziness, I tell you.  When you have two kids having a birthday at the same time, everything is multiplied by dos.

Enough said:)

Something New

I started something new last night.  I joined a "Bikram Yoga" class near my neighborhood.  I signed up for 7 days.  I know some of you are thinking, "another fad."  However, I've heard so many good things about it, so I'm trying it.  My sister actually joined a week ago and was raving about it.  It was actually recommended by during her last doctor visit to help relieve her arthritis.  My first thought was the opposite.  Go figure, little do I know.

Trying something new has always been in "The List" of things to do.  The Bikram yoga class was conducted in a 105 degrees room for 90 minutes.  We did 26 poses, about a minute long each pose for each side and the result for me was a bucketful of sweat and engagement of my muscles that I didn't know existed.  I've done yoga classes in my gym on and off but this one is really different. 

So, if you think you want something new to do, don't mind a roomful of sweaty people, and improve your body in so many different ways, try Bikram Yoga.  This reminds me of Marissa's blog about "Bekkeren," I guess it doesn't hurt to improve ourselves in any way we can. Anything can start with a goal in mind.  My dear friends, I challenge you today to start something new.  You might just like it!
