Trampoline

Our new house came with a trampoline. It looks so ragged that I haven't let the kids jump on it yet. The net is torn and popped springs are strewn on the ground. I decided to try it out even though the risk was high for an unfortunate mishap. Imagine explaining that to an ER doctor. Still, it looked appealing and I hadn't been on a trampoline since childhood.

JUMPING WAS SO MUCH FUN! I contemplated doing a flip but my forty-year old self said, "Maybe tomorrow night." After a few minutes, Dear Darling joined me and we giggled like school girls. He made me bounce so high that I laughed uncontrollably and was unable to speak. I kept flying through the air because I couldn't get the words out of my mouth to get him to stop. But it was so fun that I didn't want to stop. The moments that make us feel like a kid again are too amazing to will them to end. So we kept jumping.

We jumped so high that we could see into our neighbors' yards. We laughed even harder when we saw a man whom we have not yet met hanging out with his son. I'm sure he was thinking, "Who are those crazy people that moved into our neighborhood?" We laughed some more when we considered what our sleeping kids would think. They would think that they were missing out on a ridiculously fun time. And they were right.

Jump towards your bliss.

First Post

My new blog is born! As if I needed to birth one single more thing. Wasn't popping out three kids in four years enough?  At least this isn't adding more steps to my carbon footprint or more stretch marks to my belly. And it won't add more calories to your diet, so visit often.

So, here's the inside scoop on my life, my kids, my innermost madness. Hopefully, there will be more bliss than shouting in this blog. But I'm not making any promises.

Oh, and this isn't a one way street, you know. I enjoy your comments, questions and feedback. Talk to me and share the ride. I enjoy your company and conversation.

Welcome, new blog to the family! You were much less painful to push out than my other three babies.
