Joys In My Life

I bought this book as a present to me this week.  Not sure if I'll have too much time to do a lot of recipes from it before my trip, but I did look it over and I really like it.  I'm not sure what the deal is with people not liking Gwyneth.  I personally do like her, but maybe it's because we resemble each other, although my butt does not look as good as her's right now.  The boys did notice she looks like me.  When I opened the Amazon box, Liam was so excited to see "Mommy's present" and he looked at the front of this book and said, "It's Mommy!"  LOL. Another fun thing I found recently is the blog What Would Gwyenth Do?   It's a really good blog I found on a day that I really decided to ask Google that question when I was having a bad day. So, don't be a hater or as LMFAO would say, "Stop! Hating is bad."

I haven't lost my password to this blog, but sometimes I feel I've lost my mind.  I'm currently finishing up my second term for my EMBA program at Villanova, just went through the third re-organization at work in the last 9 months and am now leading a team of 14 employees in IT, and of course gearing up to travel on May 3rd to South Africa!!!  The good thing to say is that I have amazing opportunities everywhere I turn.  The tough thing is there is lots of work to get done and I'm a bit overwhelmed and stressed.  I guess one could say I'm on opportunity overload!!! The other side of the coin is the family is doing well, DH is completely stressed with work and traveling a lot.  His sister, Niki, is still with us and helping me get everyone out of the house for school and work everyday.  Phoebe is doing very well.  She's almost taller than me at the age of 12 and looks like she's about to go through another growth spurt, eating and sleeping constantly....
