The first day...

of the rest of my life. It was awful! Ha. I woke up later than i wanted but the kids and i still made it to the gym this morning. I have been dreading this. I do not like to exercise. I do not find it enjoyable at all. I do, however, like the break from the kids. It does us all good. The time has come for me to get back in shape. Ben is 7 weeks now and since there will be no more babies for me i need my body back. HA! I just need any body that is slimmer than this one. :)We are located 2 and a half miles from a YMCA and that is always a good place to go. So that left me no excuses. We joined yesterday and i started my workout this morning. Being pregnant for six years will really do a number on you. I expect this process will take at least a good 6 months or more and i will spend the rest of my life trying to maintain. I almost want to have another baby to delay this process. Okay, i take that back. I did make it through and i hope we can continue to make this part of our daily routine. Eric insists that it feels good to get up and moving in the morning but i still disagree. I like to sleep in. Anyway, i have high hopes for the YMCA.

Today's funnies:

At dinner, the kids usually say the blessing. Ella has to say hers and then Jack has his turn. By the time the kids are finished our food has been blessed to Heaven and back. This was the blessing tonight: (Ella's) God is great, God is good, let us thank him for our food and all the many other blessings, and i love you Jesus and I love my family, Amen. (Jack's)God is great, God is good, let us thank him for our food and all the many other blessings, and i love you Jesus very much and I like my family, Amen. Well it is nice to know that Jack likes us. :)

At the gym, Jack had to go to the potty. All five of us head into the women locker room. Jack finishes and we are on our way out. While i am rounding John up, Jack notices that there is a Lady doing her hair. He announces loudly " look, that lady is very pretty isn't she mom?" "yes, Jack" i reply. So thankful he said something kind! Whew.

At bedtime, Jack was taking his last "tee tee" before he headed to bed and while he was getting "everything" out and ready he looked at Eric and i and said "(gasp) Mom, i have no more private balls. All my private balls are gone." To which i replied " well, lets hope they come back" he smiled and said "yeah lets" so lets all hope that Jack finds his private balls.
