I did my usual this morning. I woke up, but laid in bed for a few minutes. I do this mind game thing where I try to guess what time of morning it is by turning over and looking through the blinds in my room. I know, it would be easier to just look at…
Moo The Superstar
A New Route
This morning Moo suggested we walk a new route. I told him that I had mapped out a new route on Nike.com, so we decided to walk that route. When we got to the main street, traffic was a bit heavy,(yes, even in the country, traffic can be heavy lol) so we decided to cross…
Crabs and Pearls
I will readily admit that I did not want to get up and walk this morning. I lie in bed for a while, thinking of all the reasons why I shouldn't go walking this morning, satisfied with my one - woman pity party...and having a great time lol...Well, I decided to go ahead and get…
Stop Running and Find Some Shade
Last week, Moo and I were walking and he was doing very well. As a matter of fact, he was walking ahead of me at a steady pace. It was very hot that morning, and we were sweating profusely. But when we got to the back street of our little neighborhood, there were rows of…
Raising Moo Is Hard
This morning when Moo and I went outside to walk, I announced that we were starting today with our weights. Moo became excited and in true Moo fashion, grabbed the biggest sets of weights and took off. I asked him if he wanted the smaller weights and explained that he may need to start off…
Teaching Moo
We woke up late this morning, but I was determined to get a walk in, so that's what we did....and Moo was walking slow, not even trying to keep up...so I look back and instruct him to keep up...and he told me that he thought I would slow down so that he could catch up....why…
Moo’s Wisdom
Just before we went walking this morning, Moo was informed that he was not going somewhere today that he wanted to go, so needless to say, he was very upset with me!! lol....so we walked in silence and I'm not gonna lie, I was ok with that....but Moo can't be anyone else but Moo, so…
The Value in Silence
Moo and I set out to walk today....and immediately, he started talking...and talking.....and talking lol....anyway, after a while, I explain to him that there is value in silence,that when someone does so much talking, there is no room for anyone else to talk or for the person talking to do any listening. I also explained…
Friends and Football
So, just like I promised Moo last night, I woke him up this am and we went walking. He has Rec League Football coming up in the fall, which is amazingly only 8 weeks away (where does time go???). His goal is to lose weight and get physically fit so that he doesn't get an "X"…
A Memorable Moo Comment
I think one of the most memorable things Moo has ever said to me was this - "Mom, if God washes our sins away, does He put them in the dryer?" I wanted to laugh so hard, but instead I just looked at him and explained the whole concept of God's forgiveness....gotta love Moo!!!
