This blog is not for the faint of heart...If you are one of my more refined readers perhaps you should skip this entry...although I will mention pearls.
For the rest of you who live in the world of reality like me, sit back and prepare to laugh. Fair warning though: if you are female...do your kegals...
This morning I drove on a first grade field trip. I did NOT get lost! (Unlike last year when I managed to get the kindergarten teacher lost in downtown Wilmington and had to be escorted to the Delaware art museum by a DE utility truck.) I did NOT get a ticket. (Unlike last year when I and other 3 second grade moms got a ticket for driving straight through a turn only lane.) It was a lovely field trip.
I'll skip through my boring afternoon of reorganizing the file cabinet at work, and fast forward to 3:30 pm.
Location: the gym
Event: Junior Titan basketball game
Alternate event: moms using the time to exercise
Ok...so I dump the fancy work clothes and put on the sweats. (For my refined readers here is the good part.) I kept my pearl necklace and earrings on because I didn't know where else to put them.
Workout time: the one gal is a personal trainer so she was in charge and the other mom and I just did whatever she said to do. First up- Jumping Rope for 30 seconds. Now it has been awhile since I have worked out. However, I'm still fairly young and surely I can get through 30 seconds right? If only that had been my problem. What should have been on my mind was the fact that I have not jumped rope since, well, since before I had 4 children.
Ready...GO....1,2,3,4,5, uh oh 9,10,11,12,13,14, oh no 19,20,21,22,23,24,25, come on katie hold it, 29, 30. Whew...that was really close...too close...actually...that was bad...but I think we can keep going...
Wait...what? You want us to do it again?
Ready...GO...1,2, AHHH, 6,7,8, oh this is not good, 10,11,12, wait where did my partner go? Oh no she is running across the gym to the bathroom...18,19,20, OH NO I SHOULD HAVE JOINED HER, 28,29,30. RUN KATIE RUN!!!
too late...
So I managed to finish my workout and watch my son play basketball and even went out to Chick-fil-a with friends. (don't worry Em..by the time we went to dinner I was all better...well almost.)
So Lessons learned:
First Grade field trips are good.
Next time I jump rope I'm brining my Depends.
Always wear pearls, you never know when you might need them to draw attention upward!

that is hysterical...did you read my facebook comment? i wrote that before i read this...funny...you are more normal than you think!
And you thought it was the kids who provided all your material for this blog!! :)
I discovered the leakage factor when we purchased a trampoline. My kids would say, "Mommy, go put on extra underwear so you can jump with us!" However, the pearls were an added bonus and a worthy distraction! So funny!
That is hilarious! Only wish I did not relate!
