Our Morning Adventures

It has been that kind of morning! My oldest, Sarah got up and ready for school. She made herself breakfast and left a complete mess. Our middle daughter, Emma thought she'd try to help and put away the shredded cheese that Sarah had used on her eggs. The bag wasn't closed, so cheese went everywhere.

Then, Emma grabbed her gardening "purse" and dumped her tools out of it onto the couch. Well, she had been digging yesterday..so, the couch was covered in dirt. Sarah thought she'd clean it up by sweeping the couch off with the broom. Emma walked up behind her and Sarah ended up hitting her with the broom.

Sarah finally got off to school. Emma was eating her breakfast. When .. it happened..

I had to cut the onesie!

Kaitlin is our third child and I have never had to clean up a mess bad enough that I had to break out scissors and cut clothes off. That certainly happened this morning though!! There was no way I was taking that off over her head!

All of this before 8:30 this morning ... wonder what the rest of the day has in store...

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

This is what I have in both hands. Also, the reason that I can no longer bowl :( Disappointing, because I always enjoyed bowling.

This started only about 2 weeks after having our youngest daughter. So, it's been going on for about 10 weeks now.

I can get through a good portion of the day without it really bothering me. Then, all of a sudden, I will move my thumb or wrist in just a way that I about want to scream. By the end of the day, the wrists are pretty sore.

I'm getting too old for this....

I turned 35 a couple of weeks ago. I spent the day with family, ending with a dinner out at Red Lobster with my husband and daughters. My best friend is engaged to my husband's cousin...they tend to be who we do stuff with if we want to go out. They weren't able to go out the weekend that my birthday fell on, so we went this past weekend instead. My brave sister in law kept all 3 of our girls, including our almost 3 month old!

I think we pretty much decided after this weekend that we are just getting too old for the bar scene. We went to a newer bar that is about half pool tables. With pool being $1 a game, we weren't going to spend that much so that we could play pool all night. So, we ended up leaving there and just going to the bowling alley. The other 3 bowled and I watched. Another post on why I can't is coming....

We had a much better time at the bowling alley than at the bar. There was a bar there, so if anyone did want a drink .. it was available. We mostly go out together to talk to each other, so a bar is not really necessary as far as the other people that are there.

Maybe we really are just getting old! lol
