Just did my ab class.  We did a lot of squats and wall-sits before doing everything else.  It was a good one.  I don't feel sore, per se, but I feel like I got a good workout.  I was glad I didn't run before.

I brought the kids for the first time to the gym.  It went okay, but I'll probably never bring them again.  1) Caleb was pouting while I was gone and I felt guilty about taking more time than I already had 2) when I went to get the kids, they were in a racquetball court and the baby-sitter was standing in the doorway cussing up a storm while she was talking to a couple of people outside the court.  I mean, it was f-this and f-that while she had 4 kids with her!  I almost felt moved to call and complain, but I will just solve my own problem by never bringing them again.

I'm sorry that the baby sitting at the gym didn't go well. That's disappointing.

Have I ever told you that one of my sons is named Caleb. He's 14. He has red hair, except he says it's orange, and he's right. He was really tough as a little kid, but now he's mister responsibility.
