Time for Fall

Fall is certainly here! I LOVE this time of year. The kids love to see all of the decorations that I put up around the house too! On the way home from PT, Brady and I stopped at a farm stand and bought pumpkins for each of the kids. I laughed all the way home watching Brady hold, rub, and hug his pumpkin as he sat in his car seat. Imagine the disappointment when I made the kids put them out on the steps outside!!

I had my first MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting tonight. I'm just so blessed to have that group of women as a part of my life. We meet twice a month and now have over 30 moms in our group. It's such a nice chance to get out with people who "get" what it's like to have little ones.

Matt called and got the results of my Xrays. Nothing much unusual showed up, so this confirms Matt's theory that it is a muscle/joint problem. He is so wonderful to work on my neck/back every night. He is constantly trying new things to help me get better. What an amazing husband God has blessed me with...

This week's schedule is very busy, but next week isn't at all! So, I'm just chugging along this week. Tomorrow I'm volunteering at the consignment sale that I sell my kids' clothes/toys at each season. I have mostly boy's clothes since Allie is wearing many of Cara's old clothes. Then Thursday is consignment shopping day...woo hoo! I LOVE buying second hand and even did some Christmas shopping there last year. Shopping therapy should do me a world of good!

Thank you for all of your comments, phone calls, and emails this week! It is so nice to know that I have a supportive group of friends who care:)

Taking Care of Me

I took full advantage of my unexpected day at home. I started the day at my doctor's office, then I went for Xrays, and then spent the rest of the day trying to deal with this pain. Thank God for my mother in law who could be here with me today. The doctor gave me two new perscriptions to try and I was pretty sleepy from them, but without any pain relief. Ughh...I'm trying really hard to keep perspective on all of this. I'm praying that this is temporary and that I'll be feeling better soon.

The kids are doing great and they have been really sweet to me since I've been home. They ask to kiss my boo boo and want to snuggle next to me when I'm on the couch. They are the best medicine of all:) And then there is my Matt, where would I be without him?

So my friends, another gloomy post from yours truly. But fear not, I have the joy of the Lord in my heart...I just have to get this pain in the neck to go away:)
