I Got Me A Jacket!

You really don't have to tell me I am a dork. I recogize that about myself....it is one way I would describe me. With that being said......I am really excited. I now have an Oakridge Adidas jacket that has the words "PERSONAL TRAINER" on the back. I met with the fitness director at my gym and now that I am certified, I am an official trainer there. I am really excited about it. I don't have any clients there yet, but that is ok, because I have the jacket. I am also going to get two t-shirts as well. I am not being sarcastic when I say that makes me happy! I have worked hard, and this has been one of my long term goals, and I am kind of giddy about it. I am not looking forward to the picture and bio they are going to post in the workout area, but I'll get over that. I am not kidding when I tell you that when Brandi was showing me around all of the "trainer stuff" and telling everyone I got certified and am going to start training there, I was the biggest goof and would say, "yeah, look at my jacket" ....with a dorky smile on my face. So, it was a good morning...except for the hour I spent waiting to see the doctor for KC. He was a nightmare in the waiting area, and it took forever! Since there is no controlling him, I have gotten so use to people's looks when he is screaming his high pitch scream. I don't even get embarassed anymore. I did get to see my favorite midwife there, and she was so happy when I told her I wasn't pregnant. Is it bad when your midwife advises you to not have anymore kids....and not because of medical reasons? That makes her sound not very nice....but she really is.....she just knows how I am when I am pregnant and is the one that has to deal with me when I am. After a quick fix at the doctors for KC's rash I had to pick Charlie up for school, and his teacher actually told me how good he has been. So, today has been pleasant for the most part.

Right now, James is at his first middle school dance. When I got the permission slip it said that parents could go if they wanted. You should have seen James's face when I told him he could go, and asked him where he wanted to meet me for the dance. He didn't want to hurt my feelings, but he didn't hide his lack of excitement either. I wish I could be a fly on the wall and see what a goofball he is. If he is a punk, which he kind of has been lately, I will threaten to go to the next one and dance the whole time! He is really growing up, and it is just crazy to me.

Do you do personal training long distance? I am game if you do. I need help.

I am not being sarcastic when I say I am soooo jealous of your jacket. You deserve it. Congratulations on the trainer jacket and not being pregnant.

So did James dance with any girls?

Kim said...

That's my favorite way to celebrate an accomplishment--with new clothes. Even better when someone gives them to you!! Congratulations :)

Jo said...

Certified or not I've always wanted you as my personal trainer! Still do, in fact....just trying to save up some my pennies. I hear you're not cheap! Congrats on the jacket! Very cool!!!

About Me

My photo
OK...here it goes. I am a mother of 5 crazy boys....ages 10 months to 11 years. I have been married for twelve and a half years to an even crazier boy!!! I am not sure how he has put up with me for so long, and then I remember that he is as big of a goofball as me! I get to stay at home with the boys, but I work about 6 whole hours a week teaching fitness classes. I think I am funny when I remind Scott that I am independently wealthy (if you knew how much I made, you might think it is funny too)! I do love to work out, and without it I would be about 500 pounds and completely insane. Well, that about sums it up. I am looking forward to keeping a record of the completely abnormal behavior of my perfect family!
