The girls and I started skating once a week again...
That is, until St. Patties Day.
I was messing around and didn't really fall, but kind of ended up on the ground.
I was just fine, until my girls told me that all my fat had bounced!
Bounced? Well, that's great for the ego.
We haven't been back since.
Mostly because I've really been training for the Ogden Half Marathon, and need to stay healthy, and in tip top shape. But partly, because even though, the girls didn't mean to hurt my feelings, and even though I have good self esteem, it still hurt a little knowing that who ever might have seen me fall, were probably laughing, and thinking the very same thing.
And also, that I hadn't fallen on skates for like 25 years!!! And I consider myself kind of a Pro.
But, in my defense....c'mon, they ARE shoes with very slick wheels on the bottom of them.
Yes. After the Marathon this weekend, I WILL take my girls skating again.
I don't really care what anyone else thinks!
As long as my girls think I'm cool. And as long as we are having fun together.
That's all that really matters. :)

Aleigha has LOVED the few times she's been skating with you. What a great activity for you to do with your girls. And guess what, everyone has fat that bounces. Kids are so funny. Do you remember when I was little and I wanted to tell Grandma Perkins who gorgeous she looked, and I said, "Grandma, you look ginormous!" Yeah....it happens. Don't pay any attention.
