self-realization…


while out hiking the other day, I got a wild hair to try something I hadn’t done since before having kids.

oh, wait.
is that why I awoke the next morning feeling like I got hit by a Mack truck?

at times, my body thinks like a 20 year old, but it reacts like a 30 year old!

surely, the fact that I could do this a mere 7 years ago, quite clearly means that I can do it today?
without nary a soar muscle.
or bruised ego.
or without getting those nasty blisters on my hands.


and not having my pale stretched out midsection dangling over my pants.

SO, I was wrong.


*as for those of you who can still do this without waking up half dead and without your child-bearing muffin top climbing up over your waistband,
I hate you.”

  1. It must be in the air. I tried that the other day, only I was trying to teach Sydney the whole hanging by the ankle and knee thingy while playing the hand slappy games you think are so cool when you’re little. Only while I was swinging I realized to late that I am a lot taller than I once was and therefore hit my head on the steps having not moved far enough away from them. (BY THE WAY MY STOMACHE WAS SO OUT THERE!)
