I’m back! I’m sore but I’m back

My Mom told me yesterday that in the past week or so I sounded worn out. Well she was 100% spot on but now I’m back! I luckily seemed to have kick the shingle thing and finally  got some much needed sleep over the past 2 or 3 days. I didn’t sleep as well last night, (waking up at 2 and 4 before getting up at 5:30) but the previous 2 nights I slept until after 6am. After I dropped the kids at school I went to the gym for a much needed hour plus workout. So, today I’m paying for it with sore muscles from head to toe. The misses had a little bit better day now that she’s under my care as I limited her activity as much as  I could. She did aggravate her neck a bit around dinner time by cooking and doing the dishes. I don’t know what I was doing then as I should have been doing it.

The youngest had soccer and Mom had to take him as I had to run and pay some last minute bills to avoid late fees. Then both boys played hard outside until after 7 again. We’re trying to get them used to daylight savings time but as far as they’re concerned, if it’s light out, it’s playtime. This had made for some rough mornings as they just don’t get enough sleep. It’s hard when it’s 70 degrees out and every other kid is outside playing, to make them come in. I hope by next week we’ll get in a groove. The misses did get her hair done which gave her a lift and today she gets acupuncture at noon. We’re hoping this helps, keep your fingers crossed.

Everyone is still sleeping at 6:22 and the big dog is lying at my feet. He goes in today for a bath to get all cleaned up for Spring. We have to time it as there’s no point in taking him in if rain is in the forecast. I can hardly believe it’s already mid March. You can see some flowers popping up in the front yard and we’ll need to get the sprinklers turned on soon.

I don’t have much else to say, nothing new on the headache front but we’ll keep you posted. At least it seems to have calmed down a notch since she stopped running. All that pounding can’t be good. We did get an appointment coming up with the top doc in the U.S. up in Vail so hopefully soon she’ll get some relief.

Take care and have a great day,
