Bad News for Mom, but Good News for the Kids

Well last week it was the flu and now this week it's my back.  I must have decided to do too much because yesterday my back went out.  I have always had back tweaks (probably not the technical term, but it works for me) but nothing like this.  I made it through my last day of work by scooting around on a wheeled chair.  After school was another story though.  T & the chiropractor had to carry me (how embarrassing) into and out of the appointment.  However, I was in bad enough shape that even he couldn't fix me until my back loosened up. So off to the TC we went.  After being wheeled in to the urgent care, I finally got a shot (yeah!) that took the edge off.  I was also awarded some good meds to help me through.  I couldn't have made it without T.  Not only did he practically carry me (not an easy feat-you can ask my bathroom scale) but he stayed home and took care of things today (which was good because the meds knocked me out for the entire morning).  I am finally able to walk and do things (like shower on my own) but I can still feel that it's not right yet. 

In good news, though, my children are ecstatic (did I spell that right?).  There are two little kittens running around outside, Elvis & King, (just call us Graceland in the desert).  They are just little itty bitty things and hopefully they can survive the coyotes, the road, and the children (especially AT).  I'm hoping they will be good little mousers. They came highly recommended by my friend who gave them to me.  Thanks M!  I know her intentions were good so she wouldn't lie about something like that ;-)  I will post pictures later when I can move more freely.

Enjoy your day!
