The reason why I can never be a cheerleader.....

Being a mom has turned out to be the most amazing and special experience!  I knew parenthood would be cool, I just didn't realize it would be so much FUN too! 

Although I love being a mommy, let's be real......it does have a few down sides.  One in particular.......being a mommy has clearly robbed me of my chance of ever jumping on a trampoline again.  Great.  Thanks motherhood.  I mean, I guess the option to jump will always be there (when a trampoline is present), but the consequences aren't nearly worth the reward.  Two words for you....weak bladder.

Does the fact that I pee a little bit every time I do Zumba or Step Class make me a better mom?  I sure hope so.  This is the only thing I am banking on to get me through those workouts. 

And sure...I know some of you are thinking (this is gross) what about kegels?

Well....what about kegels?  I am not all that impressed with that exercise.  I am always convinced I'm doing kegels wrong?  Is there a right or a wrong way to do these?  I tried to do these "often" while pregnant and I swear I never did them right.  It shouldn't be that hard, right?  Also...I am pretty sure I make a face every time I try to do them.  Just "do them in the car while you are driving" the magazine said....
Right...like I don't already have enough to concentrate on while driving.  Like I need to try and squeeze and tone and reshape my body at the same time (all the while making some weird, and no doubt, unattractive face). 

Basically...being a Mommy means you make sacrifices.  Some are more harsh than others.  In my case....my sacrifice is wearing rubber pants while jumping on trampolines....or not jumping at all.  Shesh....I should have known having a kid would ruin my chances of running away with the circus.
