On the spare tire front, I ran both Friday and Saturday morning through the park. Ariel and Adriana rode their bikes and I pushed Annika and Dallin in the stroller. The kids loved it and me too. One the uptight husband front, he had been surprising me lately and maybe I was overreacting. And I figured out something to help me have more patience with the kids: when I have to wait for them to do something really slowly like Annika wanting to do things herself because she is a big girl or Ariel taking her time deciding if she really wants to listen to me or not, I do some little exercise wherever I am like leg lifts or bicep curls or something to keep my mind off the current problem and let the time pass quicker instead of losing my temper with them. more later
