It’s been a rough week…

So, July is here already. The girls turn FIVE in 6 days… *sniffle* I can’t believe it! I really have no idea where the last 6 years have gone.. yes 6… I was pregnant for a bit of that time

Well, the month of July started as well as it could. We’re getting ready for a visit with Meemaw & Peepaw (my parents) and the girls are super excited. I’m stressing a little. The house is a little bit of a mess.. We’ve been clearing clutter and just getting rid of junk that we’ve collected over the years… and boy do we need to do a Yard Sale!!! Anyway.. I’m getting the rooms together upstairs, hoping to get vacuumed, dusted, etc all out of the way before they get here on Wednesday.

The 4th of July weekend, we went up to Raleigh for a quick visit with friends. We lit up some fireworks, and smoked some awesome beef, pork, and veggies. It was an awesome weekend. Well.. mostly. I woke up Sunday morning with major back pain. I was hurting a little bit when I went to bed Saturday, but it was crazy when I woke up… I had a hard time standing up, bending down, lifting anything. I have NO idea what I did to hurt so badly! The crappy part… it’s been hurting ever since. I’ve sat in a hot tub, I’ve iced, heated, massaged, you name it… I’ve taken acetaminophen, naproxen, muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories, and pain killers. Not all at once mind you.. but nothing is seeming to help! I’ve missed one day of TaeKwonDo, and I’m more than likely going to miss Friday as well.

Top all of this off with two sick little girls. Both of them have had a fever of over 100F. I don’t know where this came from either, but I’m hoping it’s gone before their birthday! I can’t imagine being sick, in the middle of summer, on your birthday That would kinda bite… ok, it would REALLY bite.. Anyway… If you haven’t seen me online much lately.. this is why. I’m sorry! I’m just exhausted from the week.

I promise, once my back heals and I’m able to sit at the computer for longer, I’ll be online a little more. Yes, I have a laptop, but it still hurts… I’ve spent a lot of time with the girls watching movies on the couch, or setting them up to color or write, and laying down behind them until they need help witch something.

I’m just hoping that everything calms down soon, my girls feel better fast, and my back quits hurting like NOW!
