Originally, when I was thinking about what I was going to title my blog today it was aptly going to be titled "Happy Mother's Day!". But now, well, shit. I'm laying flat on my back, in bed with a naproxin in me. I put Maddy to bed tonight and after our usual rock her for a couple minutes, I got out of the rocking chair with her and pulled my back. Of course, I couldn't move so all I could do was stand there and yell for Matt. He did come running (since he knows it's not like me to yell during Maddy's bedtime routine) and I hobbled my way to the bed. He came in, set me up and gave me a naproxin.
This was not the way I envisioned spending my Mother's day night. I was going to paint my toenails (one toe is bare, the others still have gold paint); I was going to upload some pictures to my photo frame card; I was going to watch a couple shows on TV with Matt and hang out; I was going to insert some pictures into my starbucks 'make your own' design mug. Now, instead, here I lay. ARGH.
The day was really nice though. Matt made me an omelet for breakfast. I did a load of laundry, hung out as a family, opened my mother's day cards. I took a LONG hot shower, went on a walk with Maddy and then did some online shopping during her nap. Matt and I ordered in Thai during her nap and ate it on the deck with the monitor. After her nap we all walked up to Giant where I got two coffees on the last of our GC to Starbucks, Matt got two cookies which he generously shared with Maddy on the way home. We went to the park where I found myself irritated with other kids who were there and Matt was, too. But I chalked it up to us being tired. Maddy loved her time though. When we got home I took down the laundry, switched hoses for the garden and ran with Maddy through the sprinkler!! We came in, changed out Maddy's clothes and her and I hung out while daddy did some work in the basement. Bath and then bedtime.
Now I'm here. I'm hoping it's better by tomorrow so Matt can get to work--but I doubt it.
You'll see pictures in the upper corner of our new alleyway stones and new pots between our house and our neighbors house. Also a picture of Maddy and I running through the sprinkler (lots more at our gallery, just click on the pictures).
Happy Mother's day!

I was getting Ben out of the bathtub at about the same age as Maddy is now when I threw my back out for the 1st time. Not fun at all. I'm sorr it happened. I actually had to go to a chiropractor to get a disk back in. I'm glad you have a laptop and I hope you have good reading material. Rest up.
