the problem is that paisley and i get up anywhere between 7 and 8am. then we both have breakfast, i read, we play, and i do some cleaning. by the time we are done with our morning routine paisley is ready for her morning nap. great, she goes to sleep and i do other things. then when she wakes up, if i want to exercise, that is about the only time. so lets say we do go for a walk/jog, by the time we get back, it is past lunch and i am hungry-so i eat, usually paisley eats and we might have a few moments to play. then it is time for her afternoon nap. great, she sleep and i shower. then when she wakes up it is anywhere from 3-5 and chris will be home shortly so it is time to start thinking about dinner. so here is the problem, if i have errands, or shopping, when can i accomplish those on this day??? there is no time if i use my one awake time in between naps for exercise. thus, i don't exercise everyday because some days i have errands. so i have been wanting a treadmill, so that i can do something at home during paisley's morning nap and i can still have the rest of my day. so almost 2 weeks ago now, chris went and got me a treadmill-yah!
it was supa-dupa heavy! don't worry we wheeled one end on his long board.
chris spent several hours putting it together, yes it is huge and no we don't have the space for it.
so after all the work of going and getting it, getting it into our condo and putting it together we were both excited to try it out(me especially!) it starts going and i am walking....after a minute or so it slows down and then stops. huh, that is weird. chris did some reading, we checked some stuff, and it still continued to do that. we called the company, tried some things they said, still did it. so, they told us they would mail us 2 parts and then send a technician to fix it. like i said it has now been almost 2 weeks and i only have 1 part and a non-working treadmill. awesome.[not really] here is chris's sad/frustrated/disappointed face.
even paisley tried to help.
so, now my solution has become just another problem.
[great...again, not really]

ew... that sucks! Hopefully it'll get fixed really quick.
BTW, your time management stuff will get better. I promise! With the first it always seems like you can't ever get anything done (especially when they are babies), but you eventually learn how to squeeze things in differently and plan better. You should give yourself a ton of credit for even exercising! I didn't start exercising until last year!!!! lol!
I'm so glad you got a treadmill. That should be so great... once you get it working of course. That's a perfect solution. I hope you guys can get it working again soon and that you LOVE it! Good luck
Is that how it always goes!! You will have to update us when it is working out for you!
What a keeper you have in a hubby though?
We go to the YMCA (free childcare with your membership!) So we get up the same time you do and she eats breakfast, I eat a snack, we go straight there then I shower when we get home after she eats lunch and is down for a nap around 11 or 12. Afternoons are free once she wakes up from her nap. You'll get it down soon enough. It's all about adjustment. Sometimes we get sent home from the Y when Paisley bites other kids. Then we have to go out in the jogging stroller.
