This Crazy Life

The damn ankle weights.  We’ve had ankle weights in the house for years.  They were asked to get them for cheer several seasons ago.  They can do drills with them to condition their core and the girls used to practice their jumps on the trampoline with them on.  My daughter that still cheers still uses them.  I never saw a problem with them.  Until a couple of weeks ago I found them on my sick daughter’s ankles.  How long she had worn them I’ll never know.  But she had them on to walk and run around the farm and was wearing them constantly to help burn calories.  I took them off her immediately.  I hid them.  My other daughter needed them while we were in the hospital, so I told her where they were, and they needed to be hidden again immediately.  Well, they weren’t.  And my sick daughter found them again and they magically reappeared back on her legs today.  She’s so upset we took them off.  She needs them back.  She needs to burn extra calories.  It’s no fair her sister can use them.  Ugh.  Why does this have to be so damn hard.
