Gettin' In

I can usually walk with The Littles into most establishments without incident. Until today. We needed to drop some things off at church. We have done it before. The cherubs are well versed in walk together, no running in parking lots and hold my hand. Walking around the van, Nathan was talk, talk, talking and ran into a parked car. With his face. Wham! He stumbled backward and landed on the ground. Bam! While I was helping him up, Tims took off running for the door. Nathan was crying so hard and motioned that he was going to stay in the van. Tims is still running at this point. I yell for Tims. I pick up Nathan and carry him to the door where Tims is waiting. At least he dropped off what we needed to drop off right there on the sidewalk. I gathered everything and everyone and made it inside. Whew.
I feel bad for all of you that get to casually just walk where you need to go. You are seriously missing out.

Who needs a morning workout?- you just had bending over, deep knee squats, twisting, turning, arm weights and a swift walk.

But was it the burn you were looking for?

You will someday tell this story and laugh 'til you cry. Someday way after you're not living it any more! :)

I laughed all the way into the stores today. I was alone. :)
