Diagnosed

I am a neat freak, so sue me. Whenever I see dirt I try to forget it's there but sooner or later I MUST clean it. Take for example today: Carson was being fussy so I went over to the piano (that I can't play) to try and distract him by "playing" a few notes. The distraction was a success. However, while sitting there I noticed the keys were dusty. Why do I notice such things??

So you guessed it, I cleaned all of the 53 white and 35 black keys. This is just one example of the crazy things that I do daily could be labeled as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Defined OCD is an anxiety disorder that is the fourth most common mental illness in the U.S. Yikes! OCD causes the brain to get stuck on a particular thought or action that it just can’t let go. I read that this "disease" can't be cured, only medicated...now I have something else to worry about.

Stroller Striders

Stroller Striders is an outdoor fitness program for mom's and their babies. My first impression was that I already exercise on my own and how fun could it be to stretch on your stroller with a fussy infant? But they were having a grand opening celebration in my area and they lured me with a class, refreshments by Chef Dane's, Robek's smoothies, and a goodie bag...all for FREE!

Ok, I just got back and here's the scoop.

We got there early and were there for the ribbon cutting ceremony. I was standing right next to the instructor for the pictures so next month Carson should have his first newspaper clipping in the Placer Herald! The class was fun, and I met some mom's in the neighborhood. The class was 55 minutes and we rotated to different "stations" keeping our heart rate up while strengthening our legs, arms and core. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get back into shape. If anyone is interested in trying it out let me know because I have 2 coupons for a free class.
