JEI {10}: The Ugh Edition

Welcome to the weekly link up, Just Enough Info (JEI).  The internets can be a great source of community, and I’d love to get to know you better!  Feel free to share your answers in the comments or link up if you have a blog.

The theme of this week is “Sports and Exercise.”

 

I wish you could watch and listen to me read that last sentence to get an accurate idea of my feelings on the topic.  I’m using my “derp, dee derp” voice.  My left eye is closed, my shoulders are scrunched up, my tongue is out as if saying the words make me gag a little.  

Let’s get this over with before I start spewing embarrassing fitness facts like “I have never done a pull-up.”  Too late.

Sports and Exercise

1. What sports do your kids play?

Life?

Jump on the couch?

Fall off stuff?

Driveway bike riding?

Hey!  Actually Cee is starting up swim therapy again today.  During flares it’s the only time she uses some muscles.   She and Elle took swimming lessons this summer.  And the kids participate in gym at our weekly co-op.  Have you ever seen homeschoolers playing kickball for the first time?  Hilarious!

Other than that, we’re just too lazy for actual team sports.  If the practices and games weren’t so effort-intense, we’d be happy to participate.

 
2. What do you do for exercise?

When it’s nice we go for walks as a family.  Now that it’s getting cooler, that will end soon.  We have year-round rough-housing though.  David and I both participate in wrasslin’ with the kids.  I read somewhere it’s good for kids.  And it’s sort of a nice way to get out aggression.

We own a nice elliptical.  Before kids David and I used it regularly.  Seriously!  But the kids want to be right by it when I’m on it, and it’s likely that they’ll get conked.

I tried to do a Couch to 5K awhile back, but the conk threat was too high, and I need sleep too much to use it when the kids are asleep.  When I read this to David before publishing, he reminded me that Moe has been conked at least twice.  So I’m not making this up in order to justify my lack of ellipticalling.

I’d looooooooooove to take ballroom dance lessons.  If someone gifted me a set of lessons and a babysitter, I’d be their best friend.

3. In the Mom Olympics, what would your event be?

Oh, man.  Carrying three kids and a diaper bag.  Like this, but with a diaper bag:
