Oh So Flabulous

No no, that's not a typo. That's what I am. :-) No, I'm not being self-deprecatory for the sake of appearance. I Am Flabulous. Babies do a number on one's physical state. We can all agree to that. Exercise is the key to NOT being Flabulous. However, have you ever tried to exercise inside with an almost 3 year old and an 8 month old? lol..... I know walking outside would be easier, but because of the weather, the children are melting by the time the walk is finished, and they are in the stroller! It's almost mean. SO, this morning, I decide to do something about my flabulousness, and I pull out an exercise DVD. A 20 minute one..... I'm not delusional enough to think that I can use my NYC Ballet DVD that is almost an hour long. I figure - 20 minutes. I can do this! The Children will allow this time for me. They will magically know that Mommy is Improving Herself, and will be extremely supportive of this by allowing me to go uninterrupted for 20 minutes.
Ahem.
Well, 5 minutes into it, Monkey needs an exercise ball too. Mommy finds a suitable ball. Tooter Pooter (aka Chunk) thinks I'm being funny and is watching me with a grin on his face.
7 minutes, now Monkey needs some dumbbells also. Tooter has decided he needs to come and see why I'm lying on the floor.
11 minutes. Monkey is quite irritated that her exercise ball isn't cooperating, Tooter has wondered off and is banging on a pot from the kitchen.
14 minutes. Monkey has decided that one of her baby strollers is going to be her exercise ball. Tooter has wandered back and is trying to use my knee to stand up.
17 minutes. Monkey has had a minor meltdown because the strol...., I mean exercise ball, isn't "copper-ating" with her. Tooter is now irritated because Mommy has made him sit down while she goes and handles the aforementioned melt down.
19 1/2 minutes. Monkey is crying because Mommy has removed said un-cooperative stroller from the room, Tooter is blowing slurburts on Mommy's tummy.
20 minutes. DVD is finished. Monkey wants to watch Bugs Bunny, Tooter is ready for his nap, and Mommy is wondering if she even got 5 minutes of exercise.
Viva La Flabulousness!
