"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Get Your Too Much Information Right Here...

So, on Thursdays I take a ballet class now.

It's been great fun, and it's surprising how much I can still do. And not look too much like an idiot. (Too much.)

But there is still one fact that cannot be erased:

I have had three children.
Oh, yes I have.

And this means when I jump:

up, down, up, down, up, down

I have to concentrate really hard.

On things I did not used to have to concentrate on at all.

I can just hear M now, hands on her hips:

"Mommy, we go on the potty. Not on the floor."

up, down, up, down, up

down

Hopefully the day never actually comes. Hopefully.

So funny! I thought about doing a blog post on this--for me, it's my kickboxing class. Lots of jumping.

I am laughing out loud. Not lol, but I seriously am. You probably will one day, just a little. Good luck

sad part - I will knock my kids out of the way to get to the bathroom first (ugh - having 1 bathroom right now!) because of course as much as I would not want to clean up after them, the other thought is so much worse!

You are hilarious as always!
