its official

stephen is mobile - he is scooching around on his bottom, getting from a to b. i left him in the den while i cleaned the kitchen this morning (yes i cleaned the kitchen, not just the floor either-the counters, cabinets, etc.) and he made it all the way around the couch to the other end of room. apparently he almost pulled a lamp down on his head as i noticed it half dangling off of the table just now :-) man they'll let anyone be a parent. its a whole new ballgame from here on out.
he and mason also entertaned themselves while i cleaned for almost an hour, thats good stuff.

mason starts back school tomorrow, i'm excited for him (yeah and for me too!!)

now i have shocking news. anyone that knows me knows i view exercise as a four letter word, especially the "gym workout" i can handle the walking/running around the neighborhood but the other stuff freaks me out. not just because i am lazy, but don't get me wrong, I AM LAZZYYY.....
but because i think i'm intimidated by the whole gym "scene"(this coming from a lady whose never worked out in a gym) gotta love the contempt prior to investigation. anyway we joined a gym today. my goals: to swim some of this "baby weight" off, maybe take a yoga class, and most of all help my family & myself live a more active lifestyle. on that note i've been walking to the mailbox (no smart ass whoever you are - i know you're out there, not to the end of my driveway) but two streets away.
