It's Play Time!!!
Thursday, August 27, 2009
Well, I am writing this post way in advance of this date so just bear with me. As of this day, TODAY, I am headed to playville.. or some may call it torture! 
I will be visiting with the crazy 7 grandchildren and 2 of my stepdaughters & husbands of course. It will be action packed in too short a period of time. So, I am trying to decide as I write this which is again, not current, whether I will (1) post some older entries that I think may interest you again or that you may not have read OR (2) post some great articles I have been saving & have not shared with you yet OR (3) actually write something new OR (4) a mixture of all of the above. BUT, I will have posts to read each day so do stop by.

OH, I will be having a guest post on Tuesday, September 1st, from Amanda of Sensei Talks. She is training for a half marathon & will be blogging about it right here! If you ever have wanted to try something new or challenge yourself, check this out. PLUS she is raising money for a good cause as well.
The one thing different is that I will most likely not have time to comment to your comments and I may find time to read your blogs but I doubt I will have time to comment. So, there is my disclaimer in advance. With 7 grandchildren that I rarely see, we try to spend every second with them or as much as we all can handle!!
So, I am sure inquiring minds want to know... NO, I am not bringing my workout shoes. A couple of these days are off days for me anyway but I know I am in need of a break from formal exercise so I will not be doing anything formal beyond maybe a little core work & a few push-ups in the room IF I have the energy after a day filled with the crazy kids... that is a big IF!
What will I be doing, PLAYING of course. These kids range in age from 11 months to 10 years old so I am sure they can work me out pretty hard just by playing around! When we visit, it tends to be early up, busy all day & late to bed so, to me, that always has been enough of a workout! For those that read MizFit & I am sure that is all of you, she posts plenty of play workouts so we all know what play can do for us... and beyond the physical, a mental break too which I really need!
So, the pic today you may have seen before... I hope to come back with a new one (with grandchild #7 in it!) if we can get everyone to sit still for a pic.. hmmmmmmm, questionable!!! I also hope to bring back fun stories & pictures. As much as I hate my pic taken, I do it for the family visit. I will ask my hubby to make use of Photoshop!!!!
Anyway, again, posts will be here for you to read & I will check your great comments but will just most likely not have time to respond.
Oh, I may try for an update while I am gone. Possibly my Monday post. We shall see how it goes but I am going to try!
Have a great few days!!!

Have a wonderful time! I find playing a game of chasings with my 2 children is a great cardio work out, so with 7 you will be doing well.
If you have any old posts on eating good snacks vs bad please recycle them.
