My worry-wort

No it's not me that's the worry wort, I'm actually almost the extreme opposite. The worry wort I'm talking about is Briggs. I could list examples all day but I'm just going to give a couple examples. Like the other day we were out at my parents and my Dad put Summer on the horse....well Briggs could hardly stand watching, he kept saying (and mostly under his breath, I just happened to be standing right beside him to hear him) "Don't you think you should get off Summer"? "No don't get on again". "Ok Summer get off now". Anyways it wasn't even really what he was saying as much as the concerned look on his face. And then when we had to walk into a pen of angry, grumpy, pregnant cows Briggs was even more worried. We made a run for it and we were fine.

Anyways the real story I want to tell happened this morning when I was exercising. Usually when I exercise I do this video called hip hop abs (doesn't that sound fun?) Well this morning I decided to do Billy Blanks Ultimate Bootcamp just to mix it up a little. After a while Briggs came down to watch me and that's when the worrying started. He could clearly see that I was struggling more than he had ever seen anyone struggle before. Here are some of the comments he was saying

"Mom that looks really hard"
"It is really hard"

"What kind of exercising is this anyways?"
"It's Tai-Bo"

"I think you should stop mom"

"I wish you were the same size as you were when you got married"
"oh why?"
"Cause then you wouldn't have to exercise".

"I think you should do hip hop abs"

"You think that feels bad don't you"(when billy asked me how that felt)

"Do you like hip hop abs better cause I think you should do hip hop abs"

And then the very last thing he said to me which made me feel awesome....
"Mom I think your tummy looks the same size as it did when Kash was in your tummy"

I finally did take his advice and after about 35 minutes of torture I stopped. It was cute how he was so worried about me.

ok this is so funny. i literally laughed out loud. briggs is cute, and i think you should take his advice, and stick to hip hop abs, better yet, stop exercising all together, so i dont feel as guilty.

This is so nerdy but that's seriously what I was going to say- I laughed out loud too. I hate when I laugh out loud to a computer screen, it makes me feel like I have no life. Briggs is AWESOME. I understand what he's thinking though b/c imagine how ridiculous it looks to a kid to see their mom hop'in around the living room in leg warmers... I always feel funny doing work out videos in front of the kids.
