Hey all, I have just came to realize that since I have been working out lately I am really starting to have more energy! Last week, instead of lounging around I worked on the apartment. Cleaning, purging, deep cleaning, organizing. This week not as much cleaning was needed so I have been doing more with the kids little by little! Even today instead of watching my court shows, I played with playdoe with my youngest daughter! Last weekend I strapped on skates and skated with my oldest daughter( something I haven’t done in years and years) I mean I looked like crap, but I did it! I am really proud of myself, I mean I allways knew I was a good mom, I work a full time graveyard shift so the kids never see daycare, I pay the bills, I put the kids in lessons, do bookfairs, buy surprises, buy them nice clothes, give them allowance, do the Marine World thing, camping thing ect….. but I am realizing that in all the above activities (by the way, I have to give props to my husband to be, he works full time too, just during the day) I am just sitting on my butt watching. I take the kids to Marine World and I just walk and wait. Walk them to the next ride,then wait for them to get done. I take them to all these activities,then sit on my butt and wait for them to finish. I have come to realize that I don’t really play with them at all, you know? But the more I work out I am starting to WANT to do more with them. Hell at this point, while the weight loss will kick ass, I am finding my biggest reward in comming out of my food and lounge coma and realizing how cool my kids are and how much fun they can be when my laziness isn’t finding them demanding and annoying.

Now while this was hard for me to admit, I am happy to turn over a new leaf! I am admiting that I have been a lazy mom, a mom who would lie down for a bullet, but perhaps until now hasn’t given them my best! But I am now a cool mom!!!!!!!!!!!!
