In 2009 I traded meetings and lunch breaks for potty training and play dates when I quit my full time job to be a full time mom to my independent and very "spirited" five year old and my incredibly curious at times mischievous two year old. Every day is something new...this is my life and all that it entails.

A Minor Set Back
Well it all really started on Saturday, I think, when I woke up I noticed that my lower back was unusually sore. My back is always in some sort of pain (especially when I wake up....I really need to invest in a new mattress) but this was a different kind of pain. It wasn't however unbearable so I took some Tylenol and went on about my day. By Saturday night it was hurting worse and by Sunday, as I had told my friend, I was trying to decide if it was a pulled muscle or my kidneys that were bothering me. I have had numerous kidney problems over the years and have even been hospitalized for it so that was certainly not out of my realm of thinking...but I just couldn't put my finger on it. I came home from church and laid on a heating pad and it started to feel better. Woke up this morning and went on a walk with my friend and our kids (pulling a wagon) and by the time I got home from our walk I could no longer stand in an upright position. I mean that sucker hurts like heck!!! If I move a certain way (or really any way for that matter) it almost takes my breathe away. I literally got stuck on the couch and had to get my five year old to help me up. I have NO clue what-so-ever I would have done to make my back hurt this bad but one thing I know for sure is I hope it starts to feel better sooner rather than later because being in charge of Paige 24 hours a day requires speed and lets just say that I have the speed of an 80 year old turtle. She ran out the door at one point today and by the time I could even get up to get to the door she was half way across the yard already swinging on her swing set. She has literally been running the household today and that does not make for a very good situation for anyone involved.
