So you would think that a walk to the park, yesterday, would be easy right? Not when it is a comical as my walk to the park yesterday.
How is this mental picture…me pushing 2 3 year olds in my double stroller, not a sided by side stroller mind you, but a front to back double stroller. That is not all, I had my 18 pound 6 month old infant on a backpack on my chest and my 85 pound lab on my right hand with her leash wrapped around my hand while I pushed the stroller. The 2 3 year olds weight 70 pounds together and with the stroller itself and all the stuff we had packed in the bottom, it would be safe to add another 15-30 pounds. Needless to say I was WORN out by the time we got home. I even has help on the way to the park from my mom-in-laws house to the park but it was the walk to her house and the walk back home that were seriously a nightmare.
What was I thinking? Well, it was our first day in the 60’s for a couple months and the kids and I were all ready to get out. I was just excited to get in a nice walk. I was sweating and sore and tired and had to take 800 mg of ibuprofen when it was all said and done. I totally crashed last night hard and slept like a baby. Sad, but true, the walk to the park kicked my butt!
