We're having a great time in Columbia Missouri, staying just as busy as we do at home, but for some reason, it is so much more fun and relaxing!
Oh, right, I am not having to cook or clean (for the most part)...what a difference those things make!
As soon as the kids wake up, the first thing they want to do is go swimming in the hotel's pool. To say that they love going to the pool, would simply be an understatement. So, as you can imagine, we have been spending a lot of time there. It's been nice to go right after breakfast, as we are usually the only ones there. It's been a bit semi-sweet for me though. I've been feeling a bit down about not getting to exercise much lately and it's been especially tough being in the pool and still not getting to swim much (having to stay within two feet of two toddlers). Even worse, a large window with a full view of the exercise room is visible from most angles of the pool room.

How cruel.
So, yesterday, I had an idea. While in the pool, Juliana still next to me, I started doing stretches on the stairs. Then, I started to run. Yup, running in place. I am sure I looked a bit silly, but I didn't care, with the exception of the kids, no one else was in there. I ran for 20 minutes and then cashed in some memories of water aerobics from college (yes, I did weird things like that). and did a few other exercises, all while standing two feet away from my kids- in the pool. It was great. And today, I actually feel a bit sore. I can't wait to get back in the pool today and get a good workout.
I think I am finally becoming successful with this multi-tasking thing.
What types of multi-tasking do you finally have down?
