So most of my day is currently spent sitting around and staring at the walls. Which sucks, because my walls are fairly dirty and looking at the dirt all day makes me feel bad about myself. Instead of staring at the walls sometimes I’ll choose to play on the internet (Stumble Upon is my new lover) and sometimes I watch Grey’s Anatomy and, yes, sometimes I even watch Days of Our Lives. All of these things that I do involve sitting and my ass is getting tired of that.
I’m fat and lazy is my point. And I’m tired of it.
I joined a gym yesterday. With Cleatus. We both joined. The kids even joined although the only thing they are allowed to do is be babysat in the “Kidz Club” which, seriously, I’d have a little more faith in their babysitting capabilities if they spelled “Kidz Club” with an “s” instead of a “z”, but whatever, I’m perfectly happy leaving my children with mediocre babysitterz in exchange for a nice long workout where I can burn calories and build muscles and oh, who am I kidding? I just go sit on the bench in the locker room and read a book in the peace and quiet while my children are looked after by high school kid who can’t even spell the word kids. (I actually did work out yesterday, but it was my first time. I had to work out! Today? I plan on just reading the book.) (Oh, I’m just joking. I’ll work out. Promise.)
I went yesterday for the first time and I’m going AGAIN today. Two days in a row! It’s like I’m some athletic person who cares about their health or something. It’s also like I told Cleatus that if I lost 15 pounds then I was going to buy myself THE MOST BESTEST GYM BAG EVAH.
Kate Spade? I love you.
Cleatus was working nights last night, so while he was at work I emailed him the link for the bag. That didn’t take long and I was bored so I started doing a bit more shopping. I found a swing for our backyard that we need. If by need you mean REALLY WANT. I emailed him that link as well. Then I found a new desk for and I emailed him the link for that. Then I sent him an email informing him that Toys R Us had Nintendo DS games buy two get one free and should I get Eeyore some? And then? Then I priced airline tickets for our trip to Colorado for his cousin’s wedding this fall and saw that the ticket prices had DOUBLED since the last time I checked. So I sent him an email saying “Oh, sorry, ticket prices have doubled, can not afford!” I didn’t realize until he called me from work to say something along the lines of “I am not motherfucking Santa Clause” that I had just sent him links to all these things I wanted to buy and then told him SORRY, CAN’T GO TO THE FAMILY WEDDING, TOO EXPENSIVE! I’m such a winner wife. He loves me.
Oh, and good news, the tickets didn’t actually double. It just turns out that if you price the tickets through the actual airline they are twice as much as they are through priceline or orbitz. So, it looks like I get my wish list and he still gets to visit family. But if it came right down to it? I think we both knew who would get what and his family? Well, they could maybe see him next year. Unless I needed some new shoes or something.

Gym? Isn’t that what the kids have in school? oh, that’s actually called PE now.
I don’t have time for a gym. Not enough hours in the day. Plus, no one really wants to watch 4 kids under the age of 7, except for my totally underpaid babysitter.
Speaking of the kids…I should go pay attention to them.
Wish lists……I have so many of them it’s RIDICULOUS. sigh

I have a zillion wish lists, but must choose whether to
a) Pay bills
b) Eat
c) Shop
There is also the fourth option of working more, but then my kids want to see a tangible reward for forgetting who their mother is. Dammit.

Good for you for joining the gym!! Years ago, I used to go to a gym with a daycare and I would leave the kid (only had 1 at the time) for the entire 2 hour limit. I would shower and get ready there. Apparently the idea of showering with a bunch of women i don’t know was more appealling then getting ready at home with a toddler hanging on me and whining for stuff.

You joined a gym? You are so much better than me. I just ate three sugar cookies with buttercream icing. And I think I might eat one more. The exercise part was when I got up and walked into the kitchen to get the cookies.
Geez, I’m lazy.
Also, I’d take a Kate Spade gym bag over visiting in-laws any day.
