How to help your hubby get more exercise...

Step one:  Go to a department dinner/end of year meeting-celebration at the park with the fam...

Step Two:  Take the kiddos and head home right after the dinner part, telling hubby you will come and pick him up when the meeting-celebration part is finished...

Step Three:  Come home, busily get the kiddos situated and ready for bed

Step Four:  While doing laundry after the kiddos are all settled (about 1 hr after coming home)... 
               remember that you left this...


                                ... in this...

Step five:  Retrieve above pictured phone to realize in horror that there are SIX missed calls from hubby, with a few 'sweet' messages...

Step six:  Call hubby, to find out that he started walking, and is only about 5 minutes away by now... (and note that it is still about 85 degrees with 80% humidity outside...)

Step Seven:  Own up to the fact that there is no excuse, explanation, or answer other than simply groveling at his feet at the sheer act of stupidity...

...Oops...

... Hey - at least he got some exercise, right??!
