Those Darn Kids
March 12, 2008
Tonight I was on the phone with Susan when my daughter came running into the room asking me a question.
“Sure” I answered.
“Did she just ask you if she could have blueberry vodka?” Susan asked.
“No, she asked if she they could watch Denise Austin’s Daily Work-out.”
“What??”
“My little kids all like to work out to it. I don’t question why. I am hoping to get in shape vicariously through them.”
“Is it working?”
“Not so much. But the kids do look too cute doing it.”

A week or so ago Miles fell and scraped his elbow. He has been wearing a band-aid on it ever since even though it is mostly healed now.
Today the bandaid was falling off so I removed it, while he screamed like I was chopping his arm off with a dull plastic knife. I showed him how it was healed and that it shouldn’t hurt anymore.
He went to throw the band-aid away and said, to no one in particular, “It’s okay. It not hurt. It is just my imagination.”
I love that little kid.

March 12th, 2008 at 10:33 pmLOL! You could teach him the song…
March 12th, 2008 at 10:38 pmI want to eat Miles. I think he would taste like adorable.
March 12th, 2008 at 10:55 pmWork-out tapes - hmmm….I never thought of that…for the kids, I mean.
March 12th, 2008 at 11:06 pmI’m so going to get in shape vicariously too!
March 12th, 2008 at 11:24 pmAnd that Miles - he’s just too cute!
i am totally going to tell myself, and no one in particular, the exact same thing whenever someone’s tryin’ to bring me down. seriously.
March 12th, 2008 at 11:32 pm…My brother and I definitely would use my mom’s work-out tape. First we’d watch Barney’s Birthday tape and then the only thing left to do would be to work out with the blonde lady in leggings.
March 12th, 2008 at 11:47 pmThe Denise Austin thing is hilarious. Missy Hoohaw hates my workout DVD (could be the Richard Simmons factor) SHe yells at me when I put it in, “No dance, Mama. NO DANCE!”
March 12th, 2008 at 11:52 pmIs it weird that I love that little kid too?
March 13th, 2008 at 12:05 amOh man, I think I love that little kid too.
And I cannot do Pilates without a crew of littles swinging their short legs in the air along with me. The two-year-old is especially cute.
March 13th, 2008 at 12:11 amChris - you have to get pics of them doing the work out tapes. I imagine it is quite a sight! And that little miles too cute!!!!
March 13th, 2008 at 8:03 amI want to eat him up. He is soooooooooooooooooooo cute! I love when he calls his siblings “Hey guys”. Makes me wish I had had 7 children. Coming from the mother of an only child.
March 13th, 2008 at 9:19 amCute!! Count me in as another MIles fan.
March 13th, 2008 at 9:42 amI hate it when my imagination hurts! Imagination is supposed to be good and only good!
March 13th, 2008 at 10:19 amOh man. Now I am going to have to see if my littles will work out with me to the good ol’ denise austin dvd! Miles is so cute….
March 13th, 2008 at 10:21 amYou’re kids are too adorable.
March 13th, 2008 at 10:34 am“Hey guys” Hearing about your kids makes me want to have 7 kids, although I’m still way to young for 7 just yet.
March 13th, 2008 at 10:47 amNot so fast, Sarah. You need to SHARE Miles with us. I want my portion served on a croissant, please.
March 13th, 2008 at 12:13 pmI love Miles even though I’ve never seen him in real life. He’s just too dang cute.
March 13th, 2008 at 12:15 pmSeriously. I want to see pictures of the kids workin it out!! TOO CUTE.
