Working Out!

My kids are trying to get me to join a gym. I was thinking in reality I work out everyday. I normally have my grandson over and he sleeps next to me, so I have to high jump over him every morning as I make a mad dash to the bathroom, then I have to run back to the bedroom because he normally wakes up and starts hollering for me, then I have to wrestle him to get him in a bath and after lifting weights, ( he is about 30 pounds) I do bendovers getting him in the tub and getting him all washed up, then I lift weights again, when I pick him up and of course it is aerobic activity getting the towel around him as he is trying to streak naked through the house. Next we run laps back through the house to my room, where we start the cardio, wrestling if you want to call it, as I attempt to get him dressed. Then it is back to lifting weights as I pick him up and put him on the floor. We now run again as we head for the car. I grab my 50 lb purse and diaper bag on the way out, then do my stretching trying to get him buckled in his car seat. I make a final run in to pick up the dog and make a dash across the yard to put the pup in her pen, before running back to the car, then heading to the mall to the playground. As soon as I get there, the workout starts all over again, until I finally get to sit down while he starts his workout at the playground. Gym? I would rather go to the beach, but oh well...I guess I will humor my kids a little.

Super Mom

I am Super Mom, yes I have hidden my identity for years, but since I have been keeping my three year old grandson whom I sometimes think has Kryptonite in his pockets cause I get so tired by the end of a Super Day that when I go to sleep I conk out like I AM DEAD .

Seriously, Have you ever seen a crazy scared chicken running around like a screaming meemie, that is how I feel sometimes as I try to keep up with this little 3 year old Super Hero. (super powers run in our family you know, have you ever seen the Incredibles?!!) They cannot compare to this Super Family.

I am not just a woman, I am Super Mom! You could not do what I do, go where I go, fix what I fix, run like I run, fly like I fly or have the abilities I have without super powers!!!

I have this amazing energy that overtakes me after I get over the Kryptonite Smackdown! Everyday is a new day, a new beginning! I sure would like to figure out those stretching skills the Incredibles mom has!!! Well, that will have to wait til another day! Got to get my game on now...

Discernment, Discretion, Prudence

Whatever happened to using discretion? I mean I am amazed at how there is like no line people won't cross anymore. I have boundaries in my life. I am not self righteous or judgmental either, I just think we should all take some personal responsibility and don't just go along to get along or don't partake when it appears evil. The Bible says (yes I read and quote it and do my best to live it!!) to abstain from all appearance of evil. Doesn't that mean to use restraint, doesn't it mean if it appears evil, it would be best to stay away? Does that sound prudish? I don't mean to, I just feel like so many people I know don't use any kind of restraint. I mean they just fill their minds with TRASH, they watch TRASH, they read it, they devour it with this insatiable appetite. So doesn't it make sense that the Bible should be a manual for us to live by since it is from our Creator who is Wise!!!
