The Gym!

 

Last night. Child #1 and I sat in the cafe in our new gym.

On Thursday I let Joe know that I was going to sign Child #2 and I up at the gym. (It sounds like a threat when I say it because I know he's just wishing this issue would Go Away)  I was very surprised when he said "I wanna go look at this place."  Hmmmmm, could he be considering it?  Well, I cant go today he says so lets go in the morning tomorrow.  I'm intrigued and say OK.  Friday morning after dislodging the kids we head over to the gym.  I knew this would be difficult for him (it involves money) and so I whispered to the salesperson that we needed to put on a good show so the old man was impressed.  We took the tour and I could see the wheels in Joe's brain turning.  Once the tour was over I looked at him and he nodded.....it was a sad nod but a nod nonetheless. We went into the business office and began with the paperwork (i swear its alot like buying a damn car) and I gave him one more time to back out when the salesperson stepped out for something.  You sure?  Another sad nod. I swear, he's more of a drama queen than I am.  So now we have a 3 year commitment to the gym, yipee.  The kids and I went last night and I'm so in love with this place already.  You check your kid in and LEAVE them......whats better than that?  I actually sat in the cafe and watched what the kids did, just to be sure she assimilated.  She LOVED it.  They played dodge ball, kick ball, running drills and did some circuit training.  All of the kids she played with were 9-13 and she even made a few friends her first night.  We'll be going on a daily basis and her activities will vary thoughout the week.  I'm going this morning, BY MYSELF (yay), to an aerobics class and will probably hang out there afterwards and try out some of the bajillionty pieces of equipment they have.  Joe is working nights for the next 4 days so he wont be able to visit the gym until next week. 

I also bought my books for this semester, $270, and thats used books.  I'm looking forward to Monday and have resolved to bring my GPA back to where it should be. 

Ok, well, time to get moving. Tata.
