I put the "O" in Special O

Well I finally, after over a year of procrastination, got back on the tread mill. It will definately be a challenge. Not so much the fitness part of it but the "kid" factor. Well you see, the first day I got on it, Sawyer was a little concerned. Not liking the noise it made or that my attention was not totally devoted to him, he cried like a injured soldier. I picked him up, got on the machine with him to show him it aint so bad and then I sat him on the floor beside me. I got back on and he sat there and just stared at me the entire 20 min (I know only 20 min, but a girls gotta start somewhere). I kept talking to him and...nothing, not even a reaction. He sat there, belly hanging over, drool just a runnin' down his chin, watching ever stride I made. I thought, WOW this is great, not only can I vacuum and not have to worry about him leaving the spot I left him in, but I can get on the tread mill every morning and not have to worry.

Well the next morning I got on the machine again, thinking that Sawyer would just sit there in a docile trance. Turns out he was a little braver on the second day. He actually sat beside the tread mill and played with his toys the entire time. Then came day three....a completely different story....As most of you know, I am not the most graceful or suave, but I try my best. I suffer from clutsaphobia, and at any given moment I can get a foot cramp that leaves me debilitated, sending me into a hysterical furor. In other words, I don't need any help with a tread mill mishap. Sawyer thought it would be neat to see 'Farmer Joe' get on the tread mill with mama. As he threw Joe on the "oh so fast" moving conveyor, I performed a fancy maneuver to avoid stepping and crushing 'Farmer Joe'. Sawyer belted out in hysterical laughter, wondering what other tread mill moves mama has. After all of 'Farmer Joe's' livestock had been hurled on, I found myself trying to keep up with it.... on my face!!!! Real funny Sawyer, real funny. Next time you do a face plant, it will be me laughing!!

The solution to this problem you ask? See for yourself!!
