I have a pain in my butt. I think it's a muscle but I'm not positive. I'm going to believe it's a muscle because it makes me feel better about my butt.

So far so good this weekend. Eating is good. Not excellent but still goodish. Exercise is up there. I have a secret.. you get your kid a child size john deere gater that cannot support your weight. Then you say "Come on kids lets go check the cows!" Then they drive down the kill going over the posted 3 mph and head into the hay field that borders the pasture field.. while you yell.. Wait!! Wait!! SLOOOOOOW DOWN!!! YOUR DEAD MEAT!!!! As they go.. past the cows.. and head towards the swamp. We have a stream in the back of the property that is all overgrown so the husband calls it the swamp. The kids looove the swamp. So do the dogs. Who currently reek of swamp water. So as I jog.. yes I jogged. I never jog. I'm convinced something will jiggle in some way and I will injure myself.

I finally catch them and literally pick the 4 yrs old off the gater and place him firmly several feet from the gator where.. he promptly pees his pants. Not because he finds me that scary.. because apparently the mad dash to the swamp was also a mad dash to the tree line because he had to pee. Peeing in the middle of a hay field is a huge no no. At least it apparently is today. Mind you this kid would pee facing the highway so I'm not exactly sure what's bad about a hay field that is over a mile from the road. Well now he can't ride because his pants are wet. He can't drive naked either because then gasp he would be naked on the gater. Another no no I just learned about.

In my genius mind I decided the 2 yr old wears a diaper the 4 yr old can have his pants and he can run around in his diaper. Genius right???? Wrong. The 2 yr old who I can barely keep clothing on now needs all of his clothing. Thank god for cell phones, a preteen who is constantly on hers, and her sudden willingness to run into a hay field with shorts. Oh but wait!! The field has feathers in it from all the pigeons that appear out of who knows where. *smacking head* Exercise? Check. And now I go off to milk cows where I will get more exercise.

That scale better freaking move when I finally weigh in.
