I feel like I've been rick roll'd with all the vids!

I'm what some would consider still young, but every time I wake up these days I have a new pain. Kids must drive us to an early grave.

That's actually a VERY solid suggestion, Dan.

LOL! Thanks, man! Glad you got a good chuckle from the photo. WI is a really pretty part of the country. I'll be going back in September.

Well, I didn't know the "old" you but I REALLY love the current you!

"Why do you smell like that stinky guy we always see in front of the grocery store?"

Bwahahahha! That's a riot & the photo I think sums up the evening. Sounds like a great vacation. Wisconsin is a beautiful part of the country ...this time of year.

Hope the knee gets better.

It is really sad to find all the new ways we can hurt ourselves when older. Next time I drink I am strapping myself to the chair. Thanks for making me safer.

I don't get why you didn't tell your son the truth-- that Daddy hurt his knee fighting the Joker for the safety of all of Gotham City. You know he'd keep that secret.

I didn't know you were so athletic. Maybe gymnastics (or cheerleading) was your true calling. I know what you mean. Once I sneezed and injured my back.

Thankfully, no Youtube back then...but I would also pay money to see me doing that flip....

As you get older, it's the little movements that cause the most damage. Watch old man....next time it might be a hip!

ROFL!!! Seriously, sis, I would do ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING to see video of you doing that back flip. Is it on Youtube? I had a buddy who had a trampoline and I would do flips onto it from his second-story roof. There were so many other instances in my life where I could've died but I hurt myself with a tiny jump. Go figure.

You're right, Mark, I don't get to go crazy like that too often so if I suffer a trip to the ER every once in a while in the name of fun, I think I can handle that.

Will do, BellaDaddy. Hey, that's an idea! A travel agency dedicated to SAH parents!

Dude, seriously. What is happening to us???

Re: The SAHD Vacation

I hear ya, SurprisedMom. Golf used to be my "exercise" until I came down with Plantar Fasciitis. Obviously that's too strenuous an activity. I'm thinking of taking up knitting.

I'm glad you liked the vids. Yea, I don't like to brag or anything.

That's NEXT year, WeaselMomma!

I thought for sure that you were to Seal Island to wrestle Great White Sharks this year for vacation. My mistake.

SurprisedMom — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:58:54 -0000

That is why my severest form of exercise is walking. I can barely do that and keep upright. I've always had that problem though. Grace is not my middle name or a name to describe me.
I can't give you any suggestions on how a SAH goes on vacation, I never did on my own. But I will take your advice on jumping and drinking.
I do feel for you. I hope you're out of pain soon. Then, please, whatever you do,don't jump.
Oh,loved the videos. I didn't know you were so athletic. LOL

Sounds great - except for the pain!

How often do you get to cut loose like that though? Best off enjoying - at least you learned your limits for next time.

Love the idea of jumping responsibly - sound advice from a naked man in a Guinness hat!

Thanks

Mark

Wow, that's really funny (I mean a shame)!! It seems that jumping while intoxicated must run in our blood, because I happened to be partaking in some drinking activities, when it seemed a good idea to have a jumping competition.....on a trampoline!!! I won with an awesome back flip (which I stuck)....and then a torn ACL, one surgery and 6 months of physical therapy....I hope yours heals faster.

Remind me to ask for suggestions the next time this SAHD needs a vaca...

What an awesome time I wish I'D HAD!!! LOL

Kudos!
