. . .does housework count for exercising? If you can never go to yoga or take a walk or what have you. Does it count if you go up and down flights of stairs a zillion times, happily doing laundry for free? (Relatively speaking of free.)The kids and I stay pretty close to each other in this house which still feels very big and quiet compared to the close chaos of student housing. We kind of migrate around room to room together especially if Bob is not home. A friend said that we'll know we're "moved in" when everyone starts hanging out in their own rooms.
In the meantime, we are so glad for family who visit, the start of play dates, and the stuff that is going on at St. John's, which is beyond all understanding. I am feeling really old when I start hearing about the programming and summer trips that Amanda will partake with her confirmation class. She is absolutely *thrilled* to have a youth director; who is pretty wonderful. Holy cow, however, youth ministry has changed. I mean, Amanda is just a little girl and I can't believe she's going on these long trips. I admit, this is when it really pays off to have a husband who's a pastor because at least that crosses off one anxiety, namely, who is chaperoning my baby? Because Bob can take care of the kids almost as good as I can. (That was partial tongue in cheek.)
Anywho, time for secret snuggle reading time, so that means we will all migrate upstairs together. :-)
Take care everyone.
With love, T
P.S. Does it count if you have to go down and up four flights of stairs to get a cup of coffee when you're at work? How about if you drink a lot of cups of coffee? If it's 100 percent Fair Trade? Does that count for something? Just wondering.
Of course housework counts as exercise, as does drinking Fair Trade coffee! In fact they count double. And, if you briskly walk past the donuts, or the refrigerator, or the Halloween candy on the way to the washer or the coffee, well then it counts triple.
