I'm not sure why I am not as thin as a rail. I spend my day running circles around three boys. Take dinner tonight. It's just me and the boys, the hubby is out of town. I make a great, truly home-cooked meal - even homemade bread. But in the course of making dinner, Boy #3, who is all of 19 months, spilled an entire package of mini M & M's that he had somehow figured how to open. He also managed to rearrange some furniture, and crash his mini-ride-on truck into the wall a few times. He then went through about 10 up and downs - wanted up on the counter to watch me cook, then down, then up, then down. Good for the arm muscles.
When we actually sat down to eat, he managed to spill two drinks while I was eating (don't ask why he didn't have a no-spill cup; he DID . . . only his brothers cups of milk are so much more fun). That's two spill clean-ups. Add the up and down of refilling drinks, getting seconds for the older two . . .
You get the picture. I've worked up a sweat . . .

I just read through your posts. Where in Virginia did you live? That's where my son is living now. What CF clinic did you go to?
I never was a stay at home mom, and I often found the small talk very difficult as well.
I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Beverly - I lived in Great Falls, VA - about 25 miles outside of DC. I went to Dr. Jim Clayton - a pediatric pulmonologist. His practice was called something like Fairfax Allergy and Asthma. Great guy. I tried Georgetown, but didn't like the doctor AT ALL (but she's no longer a CF doctor, so I'm sure it's a better place). Jim Clayton was very caring and laid back and had several adult patients, but it was always a bit weird going to a pediatric group!
