Total Gym ... Week 2

By
Ok, so I skipped a few days on the total gym.

Punishment is a MOTHER!!! I really kicked butt yesterday on the Total Gym and my back feels like the hulk is trying to rip thru it. My shoulders feel like they are floating in glass shards. My biceps feel like I am harvesting an alien. My torso feels like thousands of little bugs are eating away at it .... I'm going to skip what my "twins" feel like ... milk anyone?????

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWww .... this morning I went to pick up my lovely two year old (who is over 30lbs) out of bed. I put my arms around him in a loving motherly embrace. I gave him a big kiss and whispered "Good Morning." ... and he looked up at me with those TRUSTING and LOVING eyes and smiled at me. I stood up and as I began to lift my child ... something happened. Every muscle in my upper body screamed at me so loud that I thought I was going deaf! I had to quickly and as gently as I could place him back on his bed. I then told him ..."Okay Gabriel ... wrap your arms around mommy's neck and hold on tight." He did and I had to squat to lift him up off the bed. That in itself is hard!!! Once I was standing upright, holding him in place with my arms wasn't bad, but it still took effort.

Who the hell thought working out was a good idea??? Ugh ....

True Biker Chick

I stopped by Farm Fresh on the way home, today. Of course, I was on my bike.  I've gotten pretty used to weird looks. A girl walking around with a helmet and an Icon chest protector ... most of the time, they are looking for whatever guy I MUST BE riding with. Standing in line with my shampoo and hairspray, I heard a lady behind me say, "What do you ride?" Now, people who don't ride will say, "What kind of bike do you have?" ... I've learned that other riders will ask "What do you ride?" I was tired, on my way home from a late day at work and hungry. I didn't have time for a chit chat about bikes. Not today. I didn't turn around all the way. I said over my shoulder "A Yamaha YZF 600r." The lady said "Oh, thats nice dear." Part of me was annoyed at her tone. Another part of me felt disappointed in myself. I would hate if someone ignored my grandmother like that. I swallowed my pride and turned around. She was...

Learning From Gabriel ...

By
I had rough morning with Gabriel. I let my 6yo get the better of me. I know he isn't a morning person, and neither am I. I went out of the routine this morning and let him watch cartoons BEFORE he was ready to go. (at the time it seemed like a good idea, don't judge). Time caught up to us and then it was a mad dash to get everything ready only to realize we were ahead of schedule. That just made me more upset ... that I was upset and I had no real reason to be. UGH. I left without hugging and kissing him goodbye. I made it to the highway before God told me I should call him and wish him a happy day. I called, apologized for fussing at him and I hoped he would have a great day. What he said next has been on my mind alllll morning. He said "We had a rough morning because you forgot to come into my room and pray with me last night. You have to remember to pray with me. When you pray with me, I have a good day the next day." I don't take Gabr...

Day 5

By
Day 5 has to be about my favorite memory. THIS IS SOOOOO HARD! I have such a wonderful and fullfilled life that for me to pick one wouldn't be very fair. I wanna say that my favorite memory has to be the day that D was born. I love my baby ... he is amazing and he saved my life. I've done everything I could to make him have a wonderful life (including marrying a white guy! LOL) ... He is my wonderful baby ... he has such a beautiful smile and he is the silliest of my children... He and I have been thru so much together! Even thru it all he loves me and I love him.
