Sweat Dots

"If there is a Nicole in class, you need to come and get your daughter right away!"

Everyone scans the class to see which mommy will make the beeline to the "child minding" centre. Today, that mommy would be me.
I can hear Katie before I even open the door.
She is holding onto a volunteers pant leg while the poor lady bounces yet another howling child on her lap. The gal gives me a look that reads, 'shoot me, shoot me now'.

(I do feel for the girl but, it's a little hard to be sympathetic knowing she actually VOUNTEERS to work in the child minding center. Is the $35/month that you save on membership fees really worth the pounding headache you are rewarded with? Really?)

Katie sees me and instantly turns it up a notch. Her face is all blotchy (just like her mamma, we don't cry cute) and there is lovely streak of snot sprawled across her cheek. I flee from the room and go to put my steps and weights away.
Instantly the charm is turned on. Katie is all smiles and shows off for the dozens of ladies putting away their equipment.
Typical Katie.

Aside from that, I actually had a good workout. Step class rocks! It's the closest I've come to reliving my dance days without having to actually sport pink tights and ballet slippers. Somehow I doubt that ballet shoes would look all that dainty on my size 9 1/2 feet (note: my feet grew 1 full size when I was pregnant!!) and I KNOW that pink tights would be a horrific on every level. I'd be all muffin top & rolls!!
The best part of the class is the when the sweat drips from your hair and lands on your shoulders or better yet, the floor. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a perfectly round sweat dot that your sweaty self made. If you don't work out then I'm sure that you are horrified right now...if you do, I know you are giving me a virtual high five and yelling "ya sista!" at your computer.

Aim for sweat dots.

Well, have fabulous weekend readers! I'm out!
