jumping jack spasms

so the year of 37 has brought about some changes, ok, it happened in 36 but at 37 we're taking some action. i finally no longer have the metabolism of a hummingbird & some effort is required to keep things toned & in shape. so the work out ball has received a lot of attn in the past few weeks.

not only is this a feat for me, but little one has decided to join in. ok, yeah he always joined in that was part of the problem, he wanted to bounce around & jump on me & get in the way but finally he's figured out that he can exercise near me, that it's not a game i'm playing & he needs to bounce himself off of me.

not only that, i've figured out i can exercise while B is playing his game therefore i'm not constantly interrupted by questions of "can you do that naked?" because that's not going to happen...

anyways back to the program, yes, i finally got this exercise thing going & little one does jumping jacks beside me & it's the most hilarious thing you've ever seen!

the child has no rhythm WHAT SO EVER, it's like the top 1/2 of his body is separated from the bottom 1/2 & each piece operates on its' own. the bottom part does the hop-feet-together hop-feet-apart thing the & hand clapping happens here & there with no timing.
i try to not watch him because if i do i can't stop laughing at the way his little body moves but it's like a train wreck & no matter how hard i try to not watch or to not laugh i can't help myself...then i have to make something up to explain why i'm laughing.

  1. you should do the exercise ball naked for b but do all these weird contortions and angles with your body...it may change b's mind about you doing it that way!

    btw...jumping jack flash...my favorite whoopie g. movie. lol

  2. did B put you up to that? because no matter how i contorted my body, he would still want to see what it looked like if i was naked!
    i guess a wife could have worse complaints about her husband though...

    i like whoopi, in a lot of her stuff.

  3. it reminds me of this seinfeld episode where jerry had a naked gf and she spent all her time naked. which everyone else thought was great but jerry figured out it wasn't very sexy to see her squatting and fixing his bike or coughing. lol

  4. i had B read the post & comments last night....
    yup, he said he didn't think there was any possible way that i could contort my body that he still wouldn't wonder (& ask to see) how it would look naked.
