Lean n' Mean

Marshall bought himself a new addition to muscle beach for his birthday. Let me first start by telling you what muscle beach is, and why I hate it so much! "Muscle Beach" is Marshall's work out room. It is filled with exercise equipment. But not just your typical bowflex, or some other compact machine. This room is full of heavy duty, gym machines. Including almost 1000 lbs of dumbells! He actually bought them from a friend of his who makes the machines for gyms. This by itself is fine, but why I hate them is for a couple reasons. First, muscle beach used to be the play room. A nice place for the kids to leave their toys out, and out of the way. Second, I hate lifting weights, and everytime he's down there he trys to get me to do it with him. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about spending time together, but not doing that! Its a great way to stay fit I know, but I get enough of a work out carrying these machines off the trailer, though the door, down the two flights of stairs and into place. Carrying a sleeping 45 lb. boy out of the car, carrying a 25 lb girl everywhere, plus sometimes carrying groceries, bags of other daily items, or even carrying Callie and Molly and the bags all at once keeps me lean n' mean! I can't fault Marshall for working out, or wanting to be closer to home, but that doesn't mean I still can't complain about it! At least the kids love doing it with him.
