So I joined a gym on Friday. I figure, if I pay for it maybe I will actually do it. I know lots of other people say the same thing but here is the catch. It has CHILD CARE!!!! I looked at a lot of other gyms in the area and none of them had child care except this locally owned gym. It is absolutely great. All of the members seem to know each other and I have actually met the owner who works there everyday as well as his wife and mother and who knows who else. The women in the child care room are grandmothers who love kids and Micah just walked in and was like "Bye!" It was so amazing to be running on the tread mill and not worrying about how long I took. I mean I am paying for it so I can take as long as I want to exercise. I even.... gasp.... took a shower and got ready for the day without children running around me and trying to jump in the shower with me, fully clothed. And best of all I feel good during the day. I have a great routine now. I drop Isaac off at school at 8:30 and head to the gym. I get between an hour and a half and two hours to myself to take care of me. And quite frankly it is making me a better mother. So a little tip for all you mothers out there. Whether it is child care at a gym or movie night with the girls, take a little time for yourself. You will be a better mother guaranteed!

Ah! That sounds like a dream! I want to do that some day: join a gym w/childcare.
Good for you, you may have inspired me.
Looooooove it!! We just signed up for the YMCA, I am sooo excited!
A gym membership, ear piercing, a new motorcycle...wow! Sounds like a lot of fun and adventure.
