Happy last Thursday of the month everyone! In case you don’t know, Heather over at Theta Mom is hosting an awesome Meme today, and she does so the last Thursday of EVERY month. It’s called “Time Out For Theta Mom Thursday”, and the rules are that you have to take one hour during the month and do something for yourself, without the kiddos, and then write a post about it and link up on her blog. It’s a great excuse to make sure you get a little “me” time each month, and it’s a great way to meet other bloggers. Head on over and join the fun!
I took my time out this past Tuesday night. I actually left the house practically unnoticed because the hubster had brought home the new Indiana Jones Lego Wii game for our son. For any of you who read yesterday’s post, you know that my little stud is 100% convinced that he is, in fact, Indiana Jones, and…well…that he has a “whip.” I still can’t stop laughing about that whip.
Anyway, I seriously thought that the little guy’s head was going to explode when his Daddy surprised him with that game. I’m officially thinking about deleting my “Dear Husbands” post from Monday because of how many points he scored with me by bringing it home. And I know that he had been meaning to buy it for our son for a while, but I’m pretty sure that he purposely picked Tuesday night to bring it home because he knew how badly I needed to get out of the house for a much needed stress relief. And what a stress relief it was!
That’s right ladies…I totally channeled Shakira Tuesday night and shook my booty like it was my job at my very first Zumba class. And I loved every minute of it. And I may have been able to feel every ounce of cottage cheese that jiggled on my not-so-perfectly-tight-tush, but I can’t wait to shake it again tonight. Because I may be a Mom, but I still have a little bit of sexy left. And honestly, shaking your ass is FUN.
Wanna hear more about my Zumba experience? Be sure to stop by again tomorrow to hear all about how I’m shaking my tush and getting my groove back. And I’m going one step further than bringing sexy back. I’m bringing MOM SEXY back. Or at least I’m gonna try like hell.

I did Zumba with our church a few months back…and couldn’t move the next day. But it was so much fun! They offer it at the gym near my MIL’s house and I’m planning to enroll when we get moved next week. Here’s to getting back to being Sexy Mama’s
{ps…don’t forget to send me your Guest Post sometime this weekend, please.
I’m going to try to get them all scheduled before Tuesday. Thanks mucho!!}
My friend is a Zumba instructor and I can’t wait to try out her class. Exercise and dancing all at once…Can’t beat that!
Oooh girl – bringing your sexy back and doing something for yourself is an awesome time out! Thanks so much for playing along and linking up!
xoxo
glad you liked Zumba…i have my first Zumba experience tonight. I can’t wait to bring out my sexy too!
I want to zumba!!! I’ve heard such good things…I’m completely uncoordinated though. Will I hurt myself? Or someone else? I, too, have been laughing about the whip…I’m sure my son is going to do that…it’s going to be funny then too. Glad you enjoyed your workout…I wasn’t thinking that a workout would count as your hour, but if it does, then I’m in too!
oooOOOOooo… I’ve never heard of Zumba!! Sounds like an absolute blast!!! And I can totally relate to your Indiana Jones little man… My middle child wears a Batman suit every day… literally…
I have heard of Zumba but have not tried it.
More and more tempted each time I read about someone doing it!
Oh I have been hearing so much about Zumba lately, I need to check this out! I have been saying that I need to start working out again. Actually today I got up early to do one of my DVD and then realized that they are all still packed away from the move
I have a couple of clients that take Zumba and love it! I am not much of a dancer…not sure I would be coordinated enough for it! But way to go…it does sound like a lot of fun!
I’ve not tried Zumba, but it sounds a lot of fun. I might have to see if I can find a place to try it
Awesome!! I’d love to try zumba, but they don’t have any places near me.
We currently are “borrowing” the Lego Batman game for Wii and Buddy has a really hard time with it. It sounds like Indiana Jones might be easier??
I’ve always wanted to try Zumba! I might look into it once we’re done with P90X.
WOW, how sweet of your hubby to do that for your son. I am glad you got time for yourself, all mommies need that
I’ve always wanted to try Zumba and have some friends who do it. I take Jazzercise and love that, and have heard it’s somewhat similar….either way, as long as we’re gettin’ our sexy back, right?! GOOD FOR YOU!!!
Sound really fun! Love fun workouts! Happy Thursday!
There’s seriously nothing like a Zumba workout to give you perspective on the not-so-perfect body! Oh so fun though. It’s exercise that doesn’t feel like exercise…until the day after!! Sounds like you enjoyed your Time Out!
I totally need to bring Mom Sexy back…I just can’t find it in me!
I can’t wait to hear more about your class. One of the gyms in my town offers it an I’ve been too scared to try it.
so touched by your Tanner. I can tell just through your words what a beautiful soul How Fun! I’ve never even heard of Zumba but now I am totally intrigued.
Okay I have no idea what the heck happened with my last comment? So strange?! This was what it was supposed to read…
How Fun! I’ve never even heard of Zumba but now I am totally intrigued.
Sounds like you had a ball. It feels so good to get out the house with no one attached.
I’m glad you’re bringing “Mom Sexy” back! Go, girl!
Very cool! It sounds interesting. I think I need to get in on this meme….an hour to myself once a month sounds good!
Okay, this is why I LOVE my bloggy sisters. Because without them I wouldn’t know anything about Zumba, and I certainly wouldn’t know that there was anyone else out there that liked to shake their booty like it was their job. I’m making this class the next “girls night out!”
Good for you! I’m so not brave enough to shake what I’ve got in public (read ZERO rhythm) but that Zumba does look fun! For now, I like that I can just shake it here at home and my 3 month old can’t offer any criticism.
Sounds like fun! I’ve always wanted to try zumba. Just need to find a lucky local lady to get out there and shake it Shakira style with me.
By the way- Shakira ain’t got nothin’ on me. =)
Found you at the Theta Mom Thursday link up and I’m glad I did!
I have heard Zumba is awesome. I am rhythmically challenged so I wonder if I could do it?
Shake it, girl! You know I love to dance…but I’m really bad at it! I keep hearing good things about zumba, though. Maybe one of these days I’ll actually try it!
This sounds like fun!! Looking forward to reading tomorrow a little more about it– how great! You shake it girl!
I do a “Dance Break of the Day,” almost every single day. Maybe I should Vlog about it? Perhaps…
Sound like a great meme, a great game, and a great class! Isn’t funny how exercise used to be sort of a chore, but now it’s the “me time” we’re all so desperate for? Can’t wait to hear about the aftereffects of class!
That is awesome. Sounds fun & hard. Like the next days you’ll be sore but it’s SO worth it.
You have almost inspired me to get my tush on the treadmill or do some sort of ab/pilates/yoga workout in the morning to get rid of this baby pooch that still lingers. Now if you could just inpire an extra hour into the day or my husband to take over dinner a few nights a week, we’d be onto something.
