some funny things

1. Today I worked out for the first time in a while, I didn't have time to eat breakfast because it was  a pre-school morning, and when I decide to work out on a preschool morning there is never time.  When I walk in the door from the gym, Grant and Jackson need breakfast, they need to get dressed, they need their hair combed and Ben  and Jackson need a lunch, which leaves little time for me to get in the shower throw on something that usually isn't very attractive (last minute outfits I never like!) get my hair done, and makeup on (these two things a must) before I have to throw the kids in the car and race to school. So as I said I went to the gym this morning and didn't have time to eat so the only thing I consumed from the time I woke up until 1:00 in the afternoon, was some robin eggs that were sitting on the counter, a bottle of water, half of Grants granola bar, a coke that I grabbed from the dollar store along with a tootsie roll.   Now why am I telling you this.  Because I want to know why I even bothered working out for the measly 35 minutes? I should have just eaten when I woke up, why because I was hungry from about 3 am on:)  Oh how I love pregnancy.

2. Thing #2 Ben and I finally got to go on a date, we haven't been out for a while mainly because babysitters are very expensive here, seriously they charge any where from $8-10 an hour.  We really wanted to go to the point that we thought who cares about the money lets just go and have fun, and fun we did have.  So this cute little girl that we hired is so so sweet.  Oh wait let me back up.  You know when your trying to teach your child things and you just never know if it is entering their brain or not until they get put in that situation well this is one that made us proud.  So I asked our babysitter to put the kids in bed at 8:30 I told her the drill and assured her everything would be fine, well everything was fine it went well, she had fun with the kids.  But she is not our same religion so when she put the kids down to bed Jackson said "what about our prayers?" She was so cute and said oh OK she knelt down and said "Dear Lord"  Jackson stopped her and said "that's not what you say, it's Dear Heavenly Father." So she said OK Dear Heavenly Father.... Pause. She said Jackson do you know how to say the prayer?  By this time he was tired and said oh well let's just go to bed I am tired.  So he never finished so what! I was just ecstatic that our nightly prayers are now habit to him and Grant.
