I haven't managed to teach any of them to heel yet.<br /><br />I put workout clothes on in the morning so I am 'ready to rock and roll' as soon as everyone is off to work/school. Also to demonstrate that 'Im serious about working out, look at me all dressed for it.' Then I get distracted and on more than one occasion my daughter has asked me on the afternoon school run 'mum why are you still wearing your workout clothes?'

Pity it's not as easy to teach our kids how to empty the dishwasher or even to make their bed. I only have one at home, but do have a needy dog who is a bit of a drama queen (sorry, king) and two very demanding cats, so my mornings are slightly manic too. Had to rush to school this am with violin (20 min drive each way) and she, like yours, promised it would never happen again. Hmm. As my eldest now lives in London, I do miss his hustle bustle around the house so much so I'm tempted to say enjoy the stress while they are there! No? !!<br /><br />Thanks for your great comments on mine xxDineyhttp://oldermumsarefun.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-80658179231738391032010-09-16T07:17:14.432+01:002010-09-16T07:17:14.432+01:00love the bit about the queenager going to school e...love the bit about the queenager going to school early for the exam, did you ever find out the while story?A Modern Motherhttp://www.amodernmother.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-78036962869389175162010-09-16T06:53:34.918+01:002010-09-16T06:53:34.918+01:00Love the nicknames you have for everyone.
