ok, so i seriously think 2011 has been a pretty crappy year for me health wise. honestly. poo poo..stinky year. here's hoping 2012 more than makes up for it. my head is just starting to feel better from my concussion and now i have a sprained lower back. i'm hobbling around in pain like an old lady. i'll spare you my misery except for the fact that i think i have to finish the weaning of my youngest so that i can actually take something to help. i don't know how much longer i can go with just ice/heat and some tylenol. anyone have any tips for me? i blame it on my "girls" and my overhang...lol. the weight of my breastfeeding tatas mixed with all the goodies the c-section & my other surgeries have left behind has just left me..with let's just say..a few extra post breastfeeding pounds to lose and some serious back strengthening exercises to be done. can i start my new years resolutions early? lol.
we're also working out a pretty bad case of "i need a night light", "i'm lonely", "there's a monster in my closet" blah blah blah from our oldest. whatever excuse she can think of she'll use it this week. the kiddo is waking up like 10 times a night and refuses to sleep alone. i finally brought back the night time music with the visualization/relaxation kids music on the ipod and she passed out..thankfully. so we're hoping this weekend we can combat the sleep issues. i'm donning my "this momma's gonna kick those sleep demons ass" hat :)
i'm also hoping my back will let up a bit soon so i can get some serious sewing done. i know a lot of you have been missing all my sewing and believe me, it's not by choice. it's still been hard to sew with my head but now it's even harder with my back hurting. i do have a tutorial almost ready to go and 2 other ones in the works...so stay tuned.
i'm wishing you all pain free, sleep filled, cozy, warm, fun, relaxing, cuddles galore, red starbucks cups sipping kinda weekend. what are you up to? are you dealing with any sleep issues? back issues? let's chat and fill me in on your week. i love hearing what you are all up to :)
