It is fictional....right?

Here is one daily note I just received from an online publication by our Pastor. It always gets me how some people like to pick and choose at their convenience as to what is immoral....when it is really quite simple. As written below...

The Importance of Human Life
"Know that the LORD Himself is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves..." - Psalm 100:3a

The American Constitution - normally a bastion for the dignity of mankind and protector of liberty - originally declared that some members of our society only counted as three-fifth human. What evil that this label generated, as America justified slavery for another eighty years! Think about what happened in World War II. The fascist philosophy of the Nazis said that Jewish people were less than fully human. So, there was a justification for the slaughter and the murder of six million innocent Jews? Throughout history, declaring any human life as less than fully human has always led to grotesque evil. And it continues today. Beginning in the late 1960's, we began referring to an unborn child as merely a "fetus." This clinical word dehumanized the child, turning it from a person into a blob of tissue, thus making it easier to destroy. And since the horrific Supreme Court decision in 1973, estimates show that over 40-50 million unborn children have been murdered. Add that to the estimated fifty-four million killed in the rest of the world every single year. Compare those numbers to the Holocaust and you will realize that when it comes to the scope of eternal history, abortion is one of the most grotesque evils of all time. These are the consequences whenever man declares a human life as being less than a human. After all, we were all made by the same Creator. And God doesn't make mistakes. So, let's respect the sanctity of human life - from conception through old age.

Things that make you say hummmmm......

Here's a very simplified illustration of what is about to happen under an "Obama-Nation". Although its been explained SEVERAL times .....the majority still continues to have a hard time grasping this....maybe they are getting lost in the "big words".....so here it is.....the dumbed down version taken from the internet....

A fictional story to make you think:

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy outside the restaurant holding a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.

Once inside the restaurant, I observed that my young waitress had on an "Obama ‘08" button on her shirt, again I laughed--just imagine the coincidence.

Then I remembered Obama’s recently stated belief to Joe the Plumber in Ohio that it is good to increase taxes so that the “wealth is spread around”. So when the bill came I decided not to tip the waitress and explained to her that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. She stood there in disbelief while I told her that I was going to redistribute her gratuity to someone who I deemed more in need: the homeless guy outside. The server cursed under her breath and angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the waitress inside for her hard work because I had decided he could use the money more than she could. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for getting money he did not earn, but the waitress was pretty angry that I gave away the money she did rightfully earned even though the actual recipient needed money more than she did.

Will she work as hard in the future if she knows her earnings are going to be confiscated so the wealth is spread around?

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier concept to justify in theory (much like Communism) than in practical application in which it never works and creates bitterness.

Are you there?

Dear God...
It's not that I don't enjoy being a mother....but please help me to understand.....please help me to be happy.....I really can't do this on my own...
Each day goes by and is exactly the same as the day before....the only thing that differentiates them....are the proportions.
One day it's the kids screaming that may take a larger piece of the pie....or maybe it's the day when all the milk finds it's way onto the carpet....again. It can be the feeling that every 5 minutes I am wrestling one of my screaming children to the floor to change a diaper or the times that I wonder if there is any bodily fluid that has not landed on my clothing. Is it the day that I find them tearing apart my "important" papers....throwing the clean laundry onto the floor....emptying out their entire closet of toys.....sticking their head in the toilet trying to give their friends a proper send off....eating Kleenex....trying to shoot each other with the letter L....licking the dog....potty training themselves...cleaning the bathroom with their toothbrush....pulling the trash out of the can....eating the dogs food. Or maybe its the day they decide to eat diaper rash cream....(opps...call poison control)....or maybe 2 days later they want to suck on a air freshener wick.....(hello poison control? yeah...its me again) And sometimes, God, it's just a day they can't seem to stop crying.....or maybe that's me.
God, It can be 5 days OR MORE before I even realize that I have not left the house, changed my clothes, showered!! Days fly by.....and so does life....and before you know it...it's been years ....and you know what? I cannot even remember the last time I went out with friends....or my husband. It's that cloud that lingers ....no, not the one brought on by all the diapers in the garbage can....but the symbolic cloud that has taken away....the feeling of purpose.
Please God, help me find that balance that everyone (including myself) talks about. I know exactly what I would say to anyone describing their life (as mine) to me. I even hear those little voices in my head telling me the obvious. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! DO SOMETHING!! BRUSH YOUR TEETH!! BUT...it's not always easy to do the simple things like go to the gym ....take the kids to the park. I know....I know....there ARE times when that really sounds great and I am absolutely positively all set to go. BUT....then the day comes....and I talk myself out of it. Sometimes it's just easier to stay at home...to not have to explain why you may not be the best of company....rather drab...less then lively...COMATOSE. I just don't think anyone would truly understand. It's not that I am trying to be anti-social...the truth is I am just...well....tired. Tired of being tired.....tired of watching days and sometimes WEEKS pass....before the simplest tasks are accomplished. Tired of hoping I will someday have a clean house, healthy meals, adequate sleep...good hygiene! I am tired of waiting for something to do that will bring me back into the human race again....but most of all....I am tired of feeling guilty....because of these feelings.
Please God, you know me better then I ever will....would you mind taking over for a little while.....I just need some time to understand all this....so if that sounds ok with you....I think I'm just gonna take a step back and let you take the lead...
Thanks for listening....again...

I'm going GREEN!

Fashionably speaking anyway...
Well people! I am hoping this new face will inspire for more writings....
entertaining writings....
rantful writings....
whatever they may be....

So what do you think of my new look?

You decide...

An interesting bit of info....taken from a forward I received....

If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI, Secret Service or any Law Enforcement job, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist. If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard!
(And the majority of the people don't seem to care.)

Now isn't this something to think about!

We are listed!

Good things come to those who wait....

.....and you're gonna have to keep waiting ... but for now....


I honestly don't have a topic in mind for this blog. Just feeling extremely guilty that it has been so long since my last one. Hummmm.....should be interesting....so where to begin!

We are getting our house around to put back on the market AGAIN! Maybe we will even keep it up longer then 2 weeks this time. Hopefully an open house will be taking place this weekend and SOMEONE will find it SO irresistible that they will HAVE to have it! One can dream....

Its very difficult to have a house on the market to begin with, then you add having to get up and go on a moments notice with 3 children and a dog! Trying to keep the house clean is enough to head me straight to the institution. To think that years ago, when life was simple....or at least a little more simple...I would CHOOSE to keep my house a mess. Maybe choose to not clean is the correct statement. NOW---I would kill to have a clean home.....but for now...if the house is free from puke and poop.....it is clean!!! The thousands of scattered toys and random shoes all about.....just part of the charm people!!!

OK, so we have changed our carpets out...WHAT A DIFFERENCE....painted the walls.....not so pretty....oh well....bought new fixtures...BEAUTIFUL....moved most of our clutter out to a storage unit that we are renting.....WHY THE HECK DIDN'T WE DO THAT SOONER....replaced some window treatments....sure does finish the look! Keep your fingers crossed that SOMEONE sees the same potential in the place as we did when we moved here over 2 years ago. OK, so more accurately stated...if we can just find someone that is downright desperate to scurry in the neighborhood quickly....I don't care the reason....JUST MAKE AN OFFER!

Just another day in the life of.......
the end table just tipped over and the light went out....Kaylee is screaming and well....Allison is fake crying.....Samantha is screaming from her bedroom....guess her afternoon nap is over.....and the smells from the oven are filling the air.....don't get to excited folks.....its self cleaning.....OH....and now to top it off I think the girls are scratching the new laminate as they sit in time out....

Till next time!

Going through old emails...

Going through my old emails and found this forward....gave me a good laugh....regarding a study being done on women....well....just read....hopefully you too will get a good laugh.....maybe some can even relate!


There is a new study out about women and how they feel about their asses! I thought the results were pretty interesting: 85% of women think their ass is too big... 10% of women think their ass is too little... The other 5% say that they don't care, they love him, he's a good man, and they would have married him anyway.

hehe...

Have a good day!

Conscience...why must you pester me!

You know.....I had an experience a week or so ago.....a bit hard to swallow when it first happened. The crisis....I WAS WRONG!!!! (pull out the calenders folks....and add it to the several other notations that have been made!!)

In this case, I don't necessarily feel I was incorrect with the points I was attempting to bring up during the slightly heated conversation....but mainly that I even dared to heat the conversation up to begin with. The subject matter was not something that needed to be discussed because despite what was said I already knew the answers. That of course was what stirred me to begin with. Knowing that what I would be hearing from this group would not necessarily be the truth....but simply the version of the truth that would be told to me. I did immediately choose to disengage from the conversation the moment my question....instead of being answered directly..... was addressed with another question....making apparent that the ol duck and lie technique was in full effect! Absolutely nothing good was going to come out of this 1st grade discussion so I was done. Regardless of right or wrong....I did not represent myself in a way that I was proud of. Knowing that the topic would not be handled maturely from the start it should have been left alone.

Moments after hanging up the phone I felt an overwhelming need to call back and apologize for my part in the discussion. It was quite obvious this person didn't seem to care to terribly for the gesture and as expected there certainly was no acknowledgment of responsibility from the other end....which quite honestly did not leave me surprised since that seems to be a regular stance on all subjects that arise.

Although its not something I necessarily wanted to do....nor do I believe this person is capable of understanding the reason I had to do it.....I know it was the right thing to do. So I say...conscience.....I don't know why you feel the need to pester me all the time.....but for the valuable lessons you continue to force upon me...and for the great uncomfortableness you often bring to me....I thank you!

Shop till you drop....or at least begin to melt....

So....no longer pregnant.....NOT GONNA BE pregnant....that can only mean one thing....ITS TIME TO SHOP!!

I head out to one of my favorite stores (very affordable) only to feel an array of emotions I have not felt before while shopping---(with the exception of being in a pregnant state of course) highly overwhelmed, complete confusion, aware of my total ignorance of style/trends. My inability to put an outfit together actually had me leaving the store in tears. (I am not lying...I am that pathetic)

You need to look at it from my perspective.....so here we go! (Brace yourself)

Last time I really took any pride in presenting myself as a stylish put together kind of gal was back before I began my elephant like gestation period. So I had just turned 28 and was still experiencing some night life (truth be told..with 3 little ones I still do experience night life---just of a much different kind). My wardrobe was an expression of my age, lifestyle and of course---my waistline! Fast forward about 4 years and 3 kids later and you not only get a first hand look at gray hairs, baggy eyes, wrinkles and the sadness to accompany the realization that you have left that stage of your life behind but you also get.....well.....a breakdown in the middle of the young adult section after realizing that you no longer fit the age requirements.

As I was attempting to piece together outfits that would flatter me and my new worn out tired mom look in my post-pregnancy state of life---my brain was still being drawn to the body hugging and less then conservative style I wore during my pre-pregnancy state. I began to literally feel as though I didn't know what to do with myself. I attempted to pick items off racks hoping it would all just come to me....but sadly it didn't. A thought I never expected to cross MY mind...its hard to look at yourself (wearing baby puke and all) and justify spending money on a nice wardrobe when you have no place to even wear it. The EXTREMELY sad part about it all was that I was not even trying to spend our own money....I had a gift card that I had received for my birthday that I was planning to use! I couldn't even justify using free money!!!

Although a troubling revelation....I guess there is only one solution.... I MUST continue to go shopping....if not for myself then for the good of all those that have eyes and must gaze upon me. Its for my husband, myself, my friends.....ITS FOR THE CHILDREN!!! (you buying it?...works for me!) I WILL have a comeback!! (shhhhh....can you hear that? I believe that is the sound of my husband mumbling in the other room....something about scissors and credit cards?)

HE HAS RETURNED!

Yippee! He is home....

Although....the evening was still a bit difficult....there are just too many little attitudes walking around here. I have NO idea where these little attitudes come from..... :) Surely not from me!!

Absentee Father-Day 2

How many hours till Scott returns?

Absentee Father-Day 1

So Scott left last night for California. For those who don't know Agility's North American Headquarters are located out in Santa Ana and he was sent to "learn more about his job". Or something like that....who knows really why he was sent there....but really who cares right! I'd go if they sent me! He will only have the chance to be there for 2 days and will be in meetings most of the time BUT he will get a chance to see his sister and her boyfriend while there. Actually meeting the boyfriend for the first time....wow....the FIRST visit! Could be an intimidating scenario...but since Nick has already won over everyone else he has met I don't foresee any issues....although Scott can be a tricky one! But since I am such a nice person, Nick, I will tell you this...he CAN be bought!

Well I just put the girls down for naps so I am definitely going to take advantage of this time and get some studying done! Who knows how much more time I have!

Enjoy your break Scott....and remember....you owe me!!

To all you forward happy people....just a thought...

Email. Such an easy way to stay in touch. What a lucky generation we are! Able to connect with friends and family with such ease and convenience.....so then why don't we?

I am not saying that I don't like to get a funny joke now and again. Its good to laugh....and sometimes funny forwards come at just the right time. BUT....I feel it a bit unfortunate and a little sad when daily I am opening my email to see I have 30 plus new emails each morning and about 95% of them are FORWARDS. In most cases, not only are they forwards but the silly ones....like the "missing children"....that are not true. Or the "did you know"....which at best have only half the truth. How about those that want you to prove your faith by passing the email on to 36 of your closest friends!! Seems like such a waste of time....not to mention the build up of clutter it can cause in your inbox.

Wouldn't it be more worthwhile to communicate with friends? Maybe send a letter....or a greeting?! Obviously much time is spent online....and I am very much guilty of that also...so I am challenging all those to join me in giving less time to the junkmail and more time to building and maintaining relationships. Lets stop defining our friendships by our forwards list....just a thought...

Complaining would not be the "socially acceptable" thing to do...so here goes!

So Scott REALLY seems to be enjoying his new job. Two weeks down now and NO complaints. He has not been this satisfied since Starwood. Time will tell if they have the same abusive tendencies as Starwood did. But for now....
I actually accused him of having an affair! OK, so I was joking...sort of...but the man has actually been getting out of bed on time, showering, looking VERY nice, wearing cologne AND brushing his teeth!!! Am I supposed to pretend I don't notice it?!! Showering AND brushing teeth in the same day is really reserved for special occasions these days. (Not just with him....welcome to parenthood!!!)He has assured me there is no affair....guess that just leaves motivation with a side of enthusiasm about his new job! A bit of a foreign concept these days.
So I couldn't be happier that it is working out so well for him. It really does sound like there is potential for a successful future at this company....notice I said future....so we are not there yet....but he has been having very encouraging comments flying his way. Nice to hear....and I am glad he feels very appreciated and valuable...
So.....on the not so socially acceptable side of the coin...I am jealous! Although I have not shared this with him in connection with this current job of his....I have had this conversation in the past with him. He is able to feel a sense of accomplishment, appreciation, value, and he receives compensation to further enforce his worth. OK....I REALLY don't want to hear the comments about how "...parenting is the best job in the world....you are the most important....you could be raising the next president....blah blah blah...." I hear all that....and YES....I get it...but when I am buried up to my elbows in poop and more often then not find myself walking around with some bodily fluid or dried up booger attached to my skin....did I mention showers and personal hygiene are a bit neglected these days? The other day I was about to collapse due to a lack of nutrition!! Here I am trying to possibly develop a future in Nutrition and I can't even find the time to eat! I am SO forgetful these days....my eyes are sagging to my knees...(I won't even go there on the obvious comment I could say in conjunction with the eyes sagging bit)...make-up? whats that!....I swear I am growing a second eyebrow.....and I think my hair is gradually turning to dreads from a lack of care. I AM.....AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!
I would just like to remember what it feels like to be accomplished in something....to be good at something....have a skill....feel the value....worth....Sure...I am doing an important job....but if I were to step out into the world again....most employers would look at me as worthless. Any skills I may have once had....to long ago....I would have to start over! So basically confirming that worthless feeling I have already developed at home. I don't know....
Prior to marrying I really did not see this coming. I was always the type that was going to do something!! I didn't know what...but I was going to make my way some how! Now I am COMPLETELY dependent on Scott. That was a very hard adjustment. Just knowing if something happened to him....I would be screwed! Kind of scary....very scary actually. I know we each have our places right now in regards to our family....but I want to do it all! I know there is got to be a way that I can have that balance. Why not....he gets to have it....and in general men don't get a second look when they provide. I won't even go onto that subject though...all I am saying is that there has got to be something I can do to feel that sense of accomplishment and worth just like Scott is able to do. I have already stated I was never one for the traditional route....so there has got to be something...I have SEVERAL ideas brewing up in my head....but I can't help but wonder if I am just reaching to high! I guess time will tell on this also....
I am not trying to sound so under confident....its actually quite the opposite these days...I have really been feeling this other side emerging from me....no not another personality folks....well I guess kind of....but it doesn't carry voices that only I can hear!I have lived for several years trying to "please" a group of my acquaintances. I think I have finally realized I will NEVER be a person in their eyes. For several years I have had to hear and deal with opinions, judgements....on how I have conducted my life that have come from people that really have no place to have an opinion. Its a rather unfortunate situation actually. Lifelong ties with people that like to think nothing but the worst. I have tried time and time again to provide opportunities to create a relationship....but yet the judgement continues. No, I am not naive to think everyone will be my friend....but lets face it....I have developed friendships with people that may surprise some....I believe in giving everyone a chance....you never really know how much you may have in common with people. But it hurts when you know you are the outlet for someone....to place their blame an unhappiness on. BUT....I have come to accept that there is really NOTHING I can do about this situation....I HAVE TRIED....been shot down....AND TRIED AGAIN....BUT.....people have their own reasons for being who they are....and all I can do is be the best person I can be and let them live in their own misery and regret. In the meantime I have a family to co-lead.....my children DO come first....and if one of my children is needing something I am going to go after it. Despite what others feel is right or wrong. They can certainly try to get in my way....all that will do is make me push harder for it. I have lived for a long time under the "control" of someone else....yes...I am to blame by allowing them to have that control over me....but that is over and has been heading that way for some time now. I can only give so much....it really is their loss.....if I do say so myself!

Overworked and WAY underpaid....

So lets see...
My sister told me (jokingly) today that I was addicted to overload! YOU THINK?!

I called her to ramble on about a rather humerous Lawyer experience I had...and of course the conversation turned into one of those where she asked one simple question about one thing and that led to me just spilling on and on about my entire crazy world. Yes, I did apologize to my poor sister once I realized I was WAY beyond answering her initial question!!
WOW....you know...I think she may be on to something. It seems that unless I have about 50 things going on....I am just not doing enough. I honestly don't know where I get it from. Hummm.......is this a bad trait to have? Sure...it can be...and I think in my case maybe I need to bring it down a notch....maybe to oh say....40 things.....but isn't drive a good thing too?
I have come to the realization that when I get to be a grown up again....and have a job....and ---hold on---get this----get PAID for what I do....I will not be able to have just one job. I have WAY to many interests to keep it to just ONE job. I just don't think I can sit still in an office all day long.....I have never been one for the ol traditional route anyway. I used to think that was a bad thing....now....I just think its more exciting! The hard part will be narrowing down my interests.....

So on another note....we are officially LISTED!!!! Our house is FOR SALE!!! Ok, now don't everyone FREAK OUT and send me emails asking where we are going...cause we really don't know. NO....we are not leaving the state.....we would stay around here. We are just exploring our options with the housing market the way it is. I mean....how can we not! We have a few homes that would be ok to move into....and 1 which would be AWESOME (but I am not holding my breath)...but we are also just fine if we have to stay in our condo for another year. It would just be nice to have a bit more room....not to mention a yard!
I must say....it is a bit difficult to have to live in a showplace 24/7. Did I mention we have 4 kids? Three being 2 and under??? My house is SO much cleaner then it has EVER been.....so if you were planning to come visit us anytime soon....now would be a GREAT time. If we decide to take our house off the market....I cannot guarantee it will be clean when you arrive. Ok, battery dying on laptop....The End.

To pee or not to pee.....that IS the question....

.....and has continued to be the question for Kaylee for what seems like forever now..... This child is determined to stay in diapers probably beyond her 2 sisters! Every now and again we have a great day....but most....well...end up pretty messy. She could not be more excited to see Allison on the potty....Kaylee remains Allison's biggest cheerleader! No, I am not really training Allison yet. When she sees Kaylee heading to the potty though she gets very excited and begins running towards the potty yelling "potty potty!"....so I let her sit down and play the game. But despite her enthusiasm....I am not ready to take her on also. To be totally honest....she is really not ready either. Just a rather enthusiastic personality is all. So, in regards to the question at hand....I believe it will be some time yet till I can give an answer. (Can you feel the exhaustion as you read?)
On another note...Scott is now officially unemployed! Well, he is supposed to be starting a new job on the 24th...and actually told his current...well..past employer this past Monday that he was giving his 2 weeks. Apparently his current employer felt that they did not need a full 2 weeks but neglected to tell Scott...well...until he asked them yesterday (Thursday) at 4:45 before he left for the day. They have been a rather ridiculous company to work for from the start...so this adios is without tears....I believe on both sides. IN THE MEANTIME.....we are possibly going to have a week without pay!!! NOT GOOD!!!! I would give anything to feel a bit of stability again....even with this new job I am not yet convinced that we will be stable for awhile.
I'm sorry...this blog is a bit of a bore....I just really felt I needed to put something up...but really am just to stinkin tired to think. BUT YES, pics are coming soon. We have heard the people speak...and promise to post some pics soon on the family blog. So keep on checkin....and check back with mine....I'll be back....hopefully sporting a bit of enthusiasm myself! I need to take a lesson from Allison!

Fear not --my "groupies"---I have returned!!!

Well, yeah, where to begin!
So I last left you hangin' with a rather negative post....but hey...that's life...and as stated previously that is exactly what my blog is about....Life.
So moving on.....
Lets see....well...I started going to the gym this past week. Yup! Let me tell you....IT FEELS GOOD!!! Now don't get me wrong....it has been one glorious moment of hell after another....but there are just some forms of hell that are well worth it!
But....TALK ABOUT A REALITY CHECK...WHOA!!!...I jumped on the ol' elliptical the first day ready to go for my record making mile and just about died....long before I even neared a mile actually....well not THAT long....ok..that long....actually quite long before.....like only after my first 2 minutes into it. I know...I know....I looked quite pathetic next to that 80 year old woman nearing her 3rd mile still sporting a spring in her step. Just give me a week I say.....She's goin DOWN!
So continuing on my walk of shame I decided to move onto some much needed stretching exercises. (Ok, lets be honest...I needed to catch my breath after my pathetic 10 minute attempt at burning fat...but hey...stretching is good!) So the stretching felt good....not that it took a very far reach to feel the burn!! As a matter of fact....my hands NEVER once touched my toes!! But hey....I try not to take things for granted these days....after what I just went through the past 3 years I am just happy to actually SEE my toes!!! So...now that I know where they are...my next goal will be to once again make contact with them. Yup....one step at a time my fellow Fonda's....one step at a time....
So after sitting on the floor and enjoying a chance to breathe for awhile....oh ...I mean stretching....I then spent the next pride crumbling 3o minutes or so dragging myself from one machine to the next barely able to even produce movement in the weights much less complete a set of reps. This would be a good time to point out that I used to be so anti-nautilus in the past for the simple reason that it doesn't truly produce strength for real life activity. Nautilus does have its place...and a few of them actually can produce good results...a few of them. For the most part nautilus was created to entice women into coming to the gym by "providing results with ease!!!" (Anyone who believes that you can achieve results without putting a bit of effort and sweat into it needs to be slapped...and hey would you look at that...my hand just happens to be free!) Now granted....there is certainly nothing wrong with woman coming in (or men) and using those machines.....whatever it takes to get people to the gym to get started...I am all for it!! It really should just be used as a starting point though.....but anyway....time to get back to the point....
So I was dragging myself around (the nautilus section I might add) choking on every machine that had the privilege to seat my derriere.....that should put in perspective just how bad of shape I am in....but man...you should see how fast I can change a diaper!!
So last night, continuing on my mission to help restore peace and happiness with regards to my ongoing war: buns vs body fat, I decided to join a Pilate's class! Figured it would be good for my lean muscle...well...I don't actually have the lean muscle yet....but when I do it should be WONDERFUL! I also thought it might do some good for my battle against my whacked out posture! (sorry, my tourettes again...that happens from time to time) I tell you, nothing jacks up your posture like having kids. Between the backbreaking way you carry yourself while pregnant to the careful alternating hunchback/reverse hunchback technique you use while lugging your kids around. There is constant strain on your back and body. Times that by 3 years + 3 kids and your just plain screwed!
So Pilate's...my saving grace...I mean how hard could it really be? OH MY GOOD MOTHER....talk about a shameful sight I was! But they make it look so easy!! Dammit!! So every wednesday.....6:45-7:45.... yup....so I won't be at home. I will be off perfecting my...um...technique!! Whoever says I don't have a sense of humor with myself ...I invite you to come and watch!! Be prepared to eat your words....well...once you pick yourself up off the floor.

So one would think that between getting up at 6am on Tuesday and Thursday along with going to a pilates class on Wednesday that I would have experienced enough shame for my first week back right??? WELL.....no....I am actually going to a cycle class tonight. Yes, I...the girl who got winded after 2 minutes on the elliptical machine....am going to cycle for an hour!! Hallelujah!!! I AM GOING TO CYCLE!!! I may fall off the bike halfway through.....as a matter of fact this MAY be my last blog!!! Wow....if that's the case....and this is in fact my last blog...please disregard everything I just said...and refer to my "just in case this is my last blog" blog down below.....

Just in case this is my last blog blog...

I have the grace of Ginger Rogers.....the coordination and the strength of Laila Ali........
