Later this afternoon, I needed to pick up Paige from Brownies. Her meeting is just around the block but I have driven the 1/8 of a mile since September because the weather is always too depressing to walk in, so I started for the car at 4:55. But wait! What light through yonder window breaks...(We're starting Shakespeare this week, please forgive). If I drove in this shimmering sunny day, I might jinx the whole thing and awaken tomorrow to thunderbolts and lightning (very very frightening). So stroll I did and when Paige stepped outside, she was perplexed. Mom, did you walk here? My resistance to exercise is legendary.
Extra joie de vivre here:
Genius.

We're shocking them left and right - you, with the walking, me with the playground equipment at the park.
We can too move about.
I know what you mean. Last week I managed to get in 6 days of exercise. I credit sunshine. And next week, daylight savings time. Hallalujah!
hooray for walking!!!
Mom, did you walk here? Cracks me up.
I am stunned about the walking too. After "did you walk here" would be "what broke on the car".

That's RIGHT, keep them off guard, off balance, unsure of JUST WHAT you may do next. Excellent parenting strategy. You do, indeed, make even the easily overlooked elements of a day fun! (at least for my reading eyes) Thank you for yet another smile!
The sun is finally up where when we get up in the morning and it makes so much difference in my morning. I think my son suspects a split personality!
