Kickboxing

You all know that I work nights, so I'm usually pretty tired in the morning by the time I get Josh off to school and feed all the kids. I have a kickboxing class that I go to on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-10. Most the time I'm tired and really not motivated to go. I wouldn't really even mind going to kickboxing, it's the fact that I have to come home and take a shower instead of a nap. It's at a church and all the kids go and play and dodge their moms punches and kicks. So I really didn't want to go yesterday morning. I asked who wanted to go, hoping the kids would say they didn't want to and make the decision for me. Connor wanted to go and Kaytlynn didn't, so the choice was up to me. Connor told me-"Mom, kickboxing is exercise and when we don't exercise our bodies get all mushy and floppy." I asked him if he was concerned about me being mushy and floppy and he was. Connor is just full of fun facts and stories, so he continued on about how if we are sitting or lying down, we are not exercising. He told me he learned this on Sid the Science Kid. When he said our bodies get mushy, Kaytlynn thought he said our bummies get mushy. I said yes, that was true too. Connor said-"Oh, I didn't learn that on Sid the Science Kid" Then he added on his own fun facts that came straight from his little brain. He said our cheeks would get floppy and hang down like a dogs. So after we dropped Josh off at school and did some errands, I pulled into our driveway, and Connor says "Mom! Kickboxing!" I tried to make excuses and he said "You need your kickboxing shoes? Well, run into the house and get them and let's go!" That was all the motivation I needed. Kaytlynn has also been a motivator to get me to kickboxing. I really need that. Funny kids.
