advice

Our mornings have a rhythm, or a routine if you will.

I get up and dress in my work out clothes, assuming that if I am in the clothes, I will exercise.

I take my Synthroid in the morning and can't eat for a while.

So, we usually head downstairs and the kids play while I exercise.

After the exercise, we make breakfast and eat.

Eventually, we all get dressed.

This morning Sam had an overflow problem with his Pull-Up.

I quickly dressed in work out clothes and then broke routine by running him into his room to get dressed.

As I squatted on the floor next to him, helping him put his feet into the pant legs, he looked at my funny.

"Mom, did you have a showie yet?" he said.

"Nope, not yet, I need to exercise." I replied.

"Well, you need one, cuz you don't smell good!" he answered.

I remember once, my mom saying that she would have thought she was absolutely normal, if she didn't have kids who told her otherwise.

I now know what she meant.

And I don't even have teenagers yet...
