Weekend

This was one of those weekends.  So much to do, but, we finished it all and had a great time. You know how it is - you are always parents, no matter how old your children are.  Well, it happened to be moving weekend for our oldest daughter, Lindsay.  She had a very busy week traveling for work and also planning an engagement party for her younger sister which would be held on Saturday.  Well, needless to say,  the packing had not progressed to the point where we could have just taken boxes out to the car and moving truck and whisked them to her new apartment.  I thought college moving was tedious, but I completely forgot how many more things you aquire when you are on your own for three years!  Her new apartment was on the second floor with no elevator. I had to keep reminding myself that this was the same daughter who diligently picked up her room every time I asked when she was younger!  (Not so sure about that.) I'll tell you that I did not have to exercise the rest of the weekend.  This morning I was reading an article in our hometown newspaper and guess what the new, cool exercise is? Running flights of stairs!  You can do it at home and it requires no equipment.  It tones your hips and thighs and helps you lose weight.  So I guess I should actually be thanking Lindsay for asking us to help her move.  Next time maybe her new place might even be on the third floor!
