I'm just another working mom seeking a few moments of Zen and zinfandel between soccer practice and supper. My former beach bartender husband founded 
I’ve been working out for a few weeks and have written off Cokes for Jesus (I figured if I could survive, excuse me if we could survive, a month of me not drinking my usual wine in January unscathed than surely soft drinks for Lent would be a no brainer) and although I have not lost much weight I can now see definition in my waistline OH HAPPY DAY.
Last night I was flitting around the kitchen in workout shorts and a sweatshirt feelin’ all good and fit and the hubby said, “Girls, aren’t you proud of mommy for working out?”
Feeling cocky, I lifted up my shirt and did the whole exaggerated stomach suck-in thing. (What? You never do that?)
Miss C yelled out “Mommy IS PREGNANT!”
Then Miss A went on a “Mommy is preg-a-nent” teasing kick, and followed it up with a question only a 4-year-old could ask. “Wouldn’t it be funny if mommy had a baby dog and a baby cat in her tummy?”
Yeah, thanks girls. Real funny.
Oh and I am SO not preg-a-nent.
Too funny!
(And I suck it in all the time too.)

I think the only reasonable reply to “Mommy is preg-a-nent” is “And you girls are ground-a-ded!”

Your girls are hilarious. You look great and it sounds like you’re feeling healthier, which is extra great. You and Vanderbilt Wife inspired me to buy 30 Day Shred … but I have yet to try it. Maybe today?

I am doing 30 days of each level. I’m kind of on this fit by Memorial Day weekend plan thing. I can’t do it every day, though. I was going to but that just isn’t working. I think I’m on day 22 now of level one.
The cardio absolutely kills me every time.
But seriously my waistline now goes in on the sides. We just won’t talk about the stubborn blub in the middle that doesn’t seem to want to go away.
I like chips and queso too much.

ROFLOL! I have three boys, 13, 10 and 10 and lately the oldest has been asking for a baby brother. What??? Stick a fork in me, I am DONE having children. LOL!
I started The Shred on Monday. I have vowed to do it every other day. On Tuesday, I thought my legs were jello. Seriously, my legs and even my (too much junk in the trunk) hiney hurt! I did my second day yesterday. Today, my legs feel fine!
I love it!
With the honesty my four year old gives me…. I just keep my shirt pulled WAY down. 
Oh, out of the mouths of babes … One day, one sweet day, you’ll have your revenge, somehow, some way, perhaps in a graduation or wedding toast many, many years away. Until then, Shred on!

Oh, children are just so great for the ego, aren’t they? Good for you, though. And I’m sure you don’t look “preg-a-nent”!

OK…my head is reeling from the idea of giving up Coke! Not. Possible.
The dreaded Mummy Tummy – is there no escape from it? I think not. Have been doing Weight Watchers, lost about a stone, looking almost like a normal person again – until I stand side-on and there it is. I’m thinking of giving my Mummy Tummy its own postcode. Maybe then it will move out of home.

Hi,
I’m a follower of your Mom’s blog. I’ve enjoyed her move to the woods and a calmer way of life. She writes about you and your family, so often. I decided to follow you for a bit and find that I’m reminded of my days in the past…when I was raising kids and working. I laugh with you so often…and love the pictures of the kids. Thanks for giving me so much enjoyment.

Your mom shunted me over to your wonderful and hilariously truthful postings. Especially love the last couple lines of your profile.
Enjoyed every word and could identify with the “too much laundry” as well as the truthful, too truthful comments from your children.

Hahahaha – I just love when my kids say that or my fave is, ” mom you are so old – your hands have wrinkles.” I have a fave blog I like to read and she shares about sporting the belly bump, but oh so not pregnant – it’s this one http://www.storinguptreasures.com/2010/02/baby-bump.html Enjoy your belly bump – I know it was so worth getting!
You are a riot, Jamie. And great job working out, raising kids, and balancing job, too.
Your girls are so cute and hillarious. God bless them.

LOL! I’m not laughing AT you.
At least you’re trying to do something about it. Keep it up!

Brutal honesty – just what you need to spur you on to fitness!
As kids we can get away with saying these things and then we become all polite for 55 years or so and then as an elderly person you can say those embarrassing things again.
Every time I see my grandma she says, ‘oh dear, you’ve put on weight…hasn’t she?’ (looks at other family members)
It is v.embarrassing.
Sounds like a lot of people are doing 30 day shred? Maybe I should try it.
I think that was the funniest thing I’ve heard all day! Thank you for the laugh!
