My Little Mishap!

OK, I haven't been back for a couple of days. I put my back out a week ago, and I am only now able to actually sit at the computer long enough to type. I spend every day lifting heavy kids, doing heavy household chores, (garbage, changing water jugs, vacuuming etc.), shoveling snow - things that could at any time cause you pain. How did I put my back out? I bent over to pick some diapers up to take downstairs. Nothing heavy. I was layed low for a week by a diaper! I can't even tell you how bad it hurt! I felt something just POP in my back, and I couldn't stand up. Talk about humiliating! Of course, everyone thinks you must have done something really bad, like slipping on some ice or a car accident or something. And when you explain how it really happened, I can tell you that you don't get alot of sympathy! Alot of people laughing, but no compassion! Oh well, my husband got to stay home with us for a few extra days while I recovered, and it meant the world to my kids. The fact that I couldn't do anything for them made them realize that they can rely on daddy sometimes. And, I think it showed daddy that he was capable of doing those things. So, out of my tragic accident comes some good!
