Spread your wings and fly away

In the interest of good health!! Thought these exercises may help us all!! This really works!

I know that we, the more 'grown-up adult' types, are all concerned with keeping in shape. I came across these simple exercises recently and thought I should share them with you. The article suggested doing it three times a week.

1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 2kg potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

2. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 5kg potato sacks. Then 25kg potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50kg potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute (I'm at this level).

3. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old son.

They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are these, Dad?

To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called condoms, son. Men use them to have safe sex."

"Oh I see," replied the boy pensively. "Yes, I've heard of that in health class at school." He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, "Why are there 3 in this package?"

The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys , ONE for Friday, ONE for Saturday, and ONE for Sunday."

"Cool" says the boy. He notices a 6 pack and asks, "Then who are these for?"

"Those are for college men," the dad answers, TWO for Friday, TWO for Saturday, and TWO for Sunday."

"WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "then who uses THESE?" he asks, picking up a 12 pack.

With a sigh and a tear in his eye, the dad replied, "Those are for married men. ONE for January, ONE for February, ONE for March....."

is how I am feeling right now.

My body doesn't want to know my head and neck, which is hurting like mad.

This week has been another on in the long line of crap weeks.

I ache, and have a headache that I cannot shift

I am feeling old

My eldest child turned 16 yesterday and on top of all that we spent the evening looking at a sixth form attached to a local Catholic school, because that is the only school that has a sixth form. There is a sixth form college, but it is beginning to get a reputation.

We are looking at the sixth form College on Monday, I only hope that everything I have heard about it so far is not true, because I can tell you now what I have heard is not good at all.

Then of course should have met up to review Younests progress today, was told that the person concerned was running late and would catch up with me when she had a few minutes, but she buggered off to a meeting and hasn't been seen since, not a word to me about it, who really wanted to come home because i was in pain, but didn't.

MY time is limited on here as eldest child is bogged down with coursework at the moment and there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. Better go he is already huffing and puffing to get on here!

Hope you have a good evening
