Are you tired of trying to put your baby to sleep, and he shows no signs of slowing down? Well that is normal for all parents, new and experienced alike. But having some music around can help calm down the baby and in easing him into sleep.

Each baby is different, but all need help being soothed before they will go to sleep. Try:

• Telling a story in a soothing, monotone voice
• Walking around with baby
• Rocking the baby in a rocker or glider
• Singing
• Offer a pacifier
• Put on some soothing music. I found the following videos worked well for my son (8 mon - 18 mon). You can put them in repeat mode so that they can go on forever .. until the baby sleeps

My goals for 2010

Happy New Year! I cannot believe it is 2010 and the start of a new decade. I have a good feeling about 2010 – it is going to be a big year. It will mark the 10th anniversary of my moving to the USA, my parents 50th wedding anniversary and hopefully the year when I become a naturalized US Citizen.

For the last few years I have taken the time to set and write down personal goals for the things I want to achieve in the new year. I am a big believer that when you write goals and review them regularly you are more likely to stay on target and actually achieve them. I am also a big believer in accountability and I think that when you tell people about your goals this is another great way to stay on track.

So in the spirit of full disclosure, and to ask for your help in achieving my goals, here is what I want to achieve in 2010.

Health and Fitness

• Run Disney Marathon under 4 hours 40 minutes – January 10, 2010


• Train for and complete 50 mile Tour de Cure Bike Race – February 28, 2010


• Train for and complete Florida Half Ironman – May 16, 2010


• Reach goal weight of 185 lbs and 16% body fat prior to Florida Half Ironman

Personal

• Read one book a month


• Become a US Citizen


• Blog at least once every two weeks

Professional

• Earn at least 20 continuing education credits for SPHR re-certification

Travel

• Spend a long weekend in New York and Atlanta

Here is to 2010. A year full of things that have never been, and great adventures!

New Years Eve 2009

Hello,

Good day for a 5k wouldn’t you say?  The race is the Central Vermont Runners First Night Montpelier 5k and it is all set to start at 3pm.  I am excited

I don’t have any expectations as far as running a good time in this one… I have been so busy with work over the last couple of weeks that my training schedule has become all but non-existent.  What I do expect is to have fun and not freeze my arse off.  Not too much to ask right?

After the race I am going to head out to my favorite bar, the Three Penny Taproom, with a couple of friends, followed by food and fun (and probably some poker) here at the apartment.

I’m sure I will get into a “plans for the Two Ten” style post some time soon, but for now all I can think about is how happy I am that the end of the year work rush is over.  Between the days that were added to my regular schedule and the days that I have had to cover for sick/accident prone coworkers, I’ve been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Hope all is well with everyone.  Have a safe and happy NYE.  May the Two Ten be filled with unexpected triumphs for you all.

¡Felíz año nuevo!

Wednesday, day of too many sweets

So, today has not gone well.  Too much sweet junk food.  I’m actually throwing the reese’s pb cup xmas trees in the trash, and topping them with soap.  I bought them to use as stocking stuffers this weekend, and instead I’m shoving them down my piehole like I’m preparing for a Biggest Loser audition.  So, in the trash they go. 

I did, however, get up at the ass crack of dawn to workout.  I ran my 3 miles and did upper body weights.  I totally tried to wuss out, and texted my wake-up call girl (not a call girl, I swear) at 4:45 am and told her not to call me, because I was going to be on my own tonight (DH has poker) and I would workout then.  She insta-texted me back and said “No you won’t.  Get up!”  This, by the way, is why I love my Scoobs.  If she hadn’t made me get up, I’d totally have not done my workout today. 

Novia asked for my sauce recipe, to go with the meatballs.  I have a super specific recipe that involves dumping cans of stuff in a crock pot and leaving for the day, so here it is.  Roughly. 

• 1 big can of diced tomatoes, or two smaller ones…  I like the fire roasted ones, but any will probably do


• 1 can organic kroger brand tomato sauce


• garlic… if you do fresh, several cloves all minced up (cloves are the tiny things inside the big bulb, right?) or I use the jarred kind (not in oil) and I take a big ol’ glob of it and dump it in


• italian seasoning… I dump some in


• sugar…  I sprinkle a bit in, or sometimes splenda…  it takes the bitter/acidity out of the tomatoes

So yeah, that is the recipe.  Feel free to tweak… ha ha!
