Turkey Wrestling...

Turkey day is just 2 days away! (Or 1 day, depending on when you
read this...) I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love
to cook, I love to eat, I love having family around, and I love to
be grateful for the things I’ve been blessed with! (Ok, Christmas
is a close second, but it gets too wild and messy on Christmas
morning. But I do love the family Christmas traditions leading up
to Christmas a lot too!)

I woke up this morning and was really sore. I couldn’t figure out
why. My elbows were sore, my chin was sore and my back just ached.
After sitting at work for a couple of hours, I remembered why. I
worked out for about 45 minutes after work yesterday, and then Son
#1 came home and was feeling his oats. We wrestled on the hardwood
living room floor for another 45 minutes.

It’s more fun to wrestle them when they’re older. They don’t cry if
you bump a head or smash a finger a little. They just work harder
on you. So, they’re more of a challenge.

And, when I wrestle little ones like son #4, he’s still “stretchy”.
I can pin him on his back, put his knees on the floor next to his
ears, and he just laughs and laughs. With son #1 it takes a little
more effort then when he was little. I don’t worry though; I’m
still only going at it about 40%. That is, for now... But those
aches and pains...
