Officially Falling Apart..

I have been dealing with a lot of bum body parts over the last couple of years... I have admitted to the hubby that yes in about 10 years he might be toting around an elderly woman with a walker/cane/or wheelchair. I feel like I am much older(in my bones) than a 26 yr old.

For the last 3 + weeks I have been nursing a pain in my lower leg(just below the shin and above the ankle... It doesn't really have a name). Out of paranoia I finally made an appointment.. I thought it had to do with my back, something stemming from a pinched nerve, b/c when sitting my shin ankle area would become numb. I have at the same time been having a lot more back pain.

Come to find out yes I am a old lady... I ended up having x-rays and lab work the x-rays confirmed a stress fracture in the lower femur bone and I haven't heard back from the lab work yet but I am on calcium supplements. I have also been referred to a physical therapist for all my back pain. The Dr and I are hoping for some relief as I start building more muscles in my back. Woo Hoo! I can't wait to not have as much pain anymore. It makes me quite the grouch. I am looking forward to being a nicer wife and mom. Keep me in your prayers. I have a referral to see someone in Orthopedics to make sure my leg is healing properly. It takes about 6-8 weeks to completely heal and I am not allowed to do extra activities...In fact my Dr said the only reason she wants me doing anything is if it is life or death. So I am allowed to walk but nothing more.

Hope Every One Has A WonderFul Weekend!

These photos are irrelevant to the post today... They just make me smile..These are photos from back in March when my little sister and Miss G had a Impromptu Fashion Show.

Oh What Fun It Is To......

COLOR :)

Miss G and I spent a good bit of time today coloring in this city. We had such a good time doing it too. She delegated what I could color and what she wanted to color(dare I say, I did alot of coloring???) I recommend checking out made by joel to download your very own creations....

Stoked that Summer & my 60+ hrs are OVER!!

Yep sad huh? those are my summer hours. Being a nanny, a mom & a wife(amongst many other things) I rarely had time this summer for anything aside from working. I spent this past weekend in total surprise that I could actually function past 9:00pm, yea not very late but normally by 8:30 I am a zombie of drool and slurring words. I literally feel like I am not sober at these "late" hours. This past weekend I let one of my girlfriends talk me into letting her have a "jewelry party" here at my house, I couldn't believe I said yes. Not that I'm not a very giving and sharing person, but I really wanted to join in on the fun & I really didn't think I'd be able to do that since the kids I watch didn't officially start school until Monday... Well here comes Saturday night...Normally I would have spent at lest all day and the day before "super cleaning" but I just wasn't feeling up to it, so instead I just picked up, swept and then spent most of Saturday morning relaxing. THANKYOU for me not feeling like it, b/c when 11:00pm came and went and the "party" was still in full swing, I was actually still in full swing too!!! YAY! One of my girlfriends actually noticed and thanked me for not kicking them out yet. They ended up leaving at about 11:50 and I was still going, I finished cleaning up and still stayed up to read a few chapters. I love when "summer" ends. I am so glad that I can stay up past 8:30 and not get picked on for not making sense when I talk, b/c I am still "there". Happy End Of The Summer To ME!!!

SO FAR..... I'm a little tired

Really, it did felt like I slept in because I normally get up a little before 5 am. So, after getting my extra two hours of sleep, I made the kids their breakfast and started getting them to their soccer uniforms. I delayed getting their shin-guards on until right before we headed out, that way, they could play a little longer. After around an hour of playing in G's room, we headed out... so far so good.... The soccer game went fairly well too, Yay! After soccer we picked up Jess (my sis) and Little Miss A (my niece) and headed to P'cola, to the OktoberFest thrown by my kids' (H, L & S) parents. The ride to Pensacola was good; in fact, we had a great time at the Oktoberfest too! We saw a fairly good magic show (although a little long, 45-55 minutes as a clown was showing off his skills). Then, we had some artistic face painting done. We joined in a cakewalk (which S informed me that he thought it was called a "cape walk" and he would be winning a cape instead of a take home cake). The kids also helped dunk people into the dunking booth (by pushing the button, instead of throwing the ball). In addition, all the girls loved going down the huge, giant slide over and over again.
The time-telling sign that it was time to go was when within a three (3) minute time span all of the kids (H, L & S) had their own individual meltdowns (each one of the kids was unaware of the other kids' spells ). My child proceeded to have one in the car shortly thereafter and well let's just say I AM POOPED. Not only did we then have a hour an a half drive home still, but then once we got home, we went to my grandmother's house for a birthday party for my 3 year old nephew Mr. H. and, man, do I feel like I just ran a marathon (although not speaking from experience here or anything)!I've also just finished restoring my computer due to a bug (I believe) we downloaded from the site LimeWire. I highly recommend music listeners not use this site; no matter how wonderful it sounds. Since we downloaded it to our computer last month, everything has been shutting down randomly and then rebooting, amongst other things. Again, I really do not recommend it. I hope that that was the answer to all my problems. We just have really bad luck with computers it seems. Speaking of computers, I tried my best to wipe out our old one last night to make it accommodating for the kids this weekend. So far so good too! I was not able to take it to a restore point, but I was able to clean out most of the memory (which as per my conversation with our computer guy, the memory, or lack thereof was one of the main factors in the reasons behind it being a terrible computer). But, as far as G is concerned, she is now the proud owner of a semi-fully functional computer to play her "educational" games (Shush! Don't tell her that they are good for her!), at her will, with mommy and daddy's permission of course.
