I hate to sweat...
So why in my right mind would I go and join a gym? Well now, lets just think about this for a second... hmm. Because I'm tired of having tharms, cankles, dimply legs, and a chibble. It's actually not that bad once you get over the initial shock of seeing old, wrinkly, saggy, naked women in the locker room. E-gads! I shouldn't bag though, I'm probably gonna look like them when I'm their age. I started out with the water aerobics class, then went on to the yoga class. I highly recommend the yoga. Yoga kicks my butt. It's very relaxing though. The water aerobics is alright. It mostly works the legs out. My friend Vicky teaches that class. That's kinda why I'm going. I'll slowly venture on to harder things, like lifting weights, the stair climber, and the tread mill. Don't want to hurt myself now do I? Or God forbid that I break a sweat!

Whelp, there's no sleepin' in at this house folks! Not even on a precious Saturday? Nope. Why? You ask. Psh. Oh, because of these two little things that call themselves my sons. That's why. Was I like this when I was little? Probably. All I remember is that we got up early, went down stairs, got ourselves a bowl of cherrios, sat in front of the tube, and quietly watched the smurfs, scooby-doo, X-Men, G.I. Joe, or if we were lucky, Snorks was on. Ooo, I just got it! The reason we were so quiet is the fact that if our mom knew that we were watching those 'Bad, evil, satanic' cartoons, she would go bonkers! And the fact that our dad worked over-time for the sheriff's station a lot, and he would have our heads if we woke him up before 10am. So, that's how you keep five little rugrats quiet. Ah-Ha! So, now all I have to do is rent videos of the movies that I always say no to at the store, and put them on top of the V.C.R. in their room on Friday night. Freddy vs. Mike? If it keeps um quiet, I don't mind. Just kidding. What kind of mother would I be if I did that? Horrible! Well, If ya'll's got any idea's bout' how to keep yer youngster's quiet on a Saturday morning, then speak up, please! Thanks.

I have been watching home videos of Joshua and Caleb when they were babies. So, please excuse me, I'm feeling a little sentimental right now. Everyone keeps on asking me when I'm going to have another baby. Honestly, I really don't know. If you were to ask me that on Caleb's 2nd B-day, I would've promptly answered you like this, I would like to get pregnant in Sept. and have the baby in June. It would of course be a boy, because why would anyone want to put a poor little girl into that mix. Now, I'm leaving every last detail up to the Man upstairs. I don't really know if I want another baby right now. If I said that in a crowded, noisy room, full of people that knew me very well, you would hear the sound of crickets. Because anyone that truly knows me, knows that I am that baby crazy lady. It's true, I love babies, and babies love me. Everywhere I go, if I see a baby, I gravitate towards it, and it in turn, looks and smiles at me. That makes my day. This information however does not necessarily mean that I want another baby right now.
I think that my sister is baby crazy also. If we're together and we see a baby, both of us have goo-goo eyes. As adorable as they are though, she knows that she doesn't want any of her own. I respect her for knowing what she wants, and what she doesn't want. She's not scared to tell you that either. I wish that I were more like her in that area of my life. I am just now realizing that I can make up my own mind about what I like, and what I don't like. That may sound kind of silly to most people. But, I am a typical 2nd born. A lot of advice that has been given to me over the years, I didn't really understand until recently. I don't know why it took me this long to get it. Maybe I had to find things out on my own. Go through some hard things, and learn my lessons by going through those hard things. I am not perfect by any means. And I am sure to go through many more hard times in my lifetime. I know that my Father sustains me though, through it all. He holds me up at all times, even when I'm doubtful. I am so blessed by whom God has put in my life. I have a huge extended family, a wonderful, loving husband, and two sweet, handsome little boys. I am also blessed by all of my friends.
