Early Christmas Find-WHOOt!!

Well she has done it agn...Flamingo announced awhile ago her obsession once agn with the Monsterhigh Dolls...LOLOLOL
And of course they have come out with some new dolls ard Christmas-and of course you cant find them anywhere unless you want to pay 60 bucks on ebay and amazon for them...but I googled it and searched sights all night last night and found out Mattel just got in a new shipment and I snatched one up quick-Flamingo will be thrilled....whoo!!:)Listing price too!!:)

Fiddler Time..........

This song-is one of my all time favorites.......We used to watch it as a family when I was little and my Dad absolutely loves this song and has to get up and act out the parts-its sooo funny and well this song really cheers me up. I even downloaded a bunch of musicals on my MP3 player and Ive been listening to Fiddler On The Roof for the past 3 days now...LOLOLOL But this song above all others puts a smile on my face when nothing else does...:)



Ive been moody...sullen...I dont know what to call it...a bit discouraged...all rolled into one....sigh...at any moment I can have my eyes watering...LOLOLOL- total pity party going on ard here...LOLOLOL

And it all boils down into my dang problems with my leg, calf, toes, butt...LOLOL-Im just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of hurting..of being uncomforteable....

I went to therapy tday agn....same thing...but felt sooo good-as usual. I lay on my stomach with pillows propping up my stomach. My therapist then places these electrodes on my low low back area ;) down a little on my thigh. Then she puts a heated pad and blanket on top. Its sooo awesome-feels really weird, like a bunch of water running down my leg...but it pulses and feels sooo good:)She turns off the lights and I just lay there and zone out...LOLOL-soo nice..

But anyway-thats the routine when I go-she also gives me excercises to do at home-which are a killer...but thats what Ive been doing.

She says that I tore a muscle right above a joint in my upper butt cheek and its going to take 8-12 weeks to heal-it will be that fast(HA-fast)because its the first time Ive torn something-If I tear it agn it will take much longer-and geesh...I cant even imagine...

So Im not walking with a cane now. When I wake up its all really sore, but If I keep moving Im pretty good-its when Im relaxing that it gives me problems. Its hard to describe but its a constant aching and throbbing and just really uncomforteable... yeah...:(

I was doing really good and it wasnt hurting much-unless I was going downstairs etc..I was cutting down on my muscle spasm pills and hydrocod...things were going really well...but yesterday I went out to rake leaves with the kids and that night I coulndt take it anymore-I had to take my pills and now its been bothering me agn-even up to my butt which until yesterday it was just in my calves and toes-which are in a constant state of numbness. but now its all back agn...which had me all bummed agn. had me worried too because it felt like just before that painful deal on the stairs on Halloween...when I coulndt move it was so painful so I was freaked that it was going to happen agn.

But Im just taking it slow...again...which has me bummed agn....

Its hard because no one realizes how delicate it is...Im walking okay-so everyone thinks Im fine-but like the therapist said-just cause it looks fine on the outside-doesnt mean it is...which I realized after I thought I could handle raking leaves last night....geesh....

Therapist said no way can I even go to my classes for a long while....Shes thinking I wont be good till after Xmas...which is really depressing....and we are paying for the gym every month too....geesh...

So I have to be careful with everything I do, not overdue it-and I have no idea how not to do that ....but Im trying.....yeah....:)

So anyway thats the deal lately....Its all just so stupid and I hate it...I hate not being able to just lye down without my leg throbbing, I hate my toes and calf being numb,(the therapist says its still swollen-the muscle- and its squeezzing my nerve that runs down my leg which is why its staying in a constant state of numbness) I hate not being able to have the pups inside, I hate not being able to juts sit ther and do whatever without being pumped up on pain meds...its driving me nuts!I just hate not being normal me!!

I feel like Im old-if this is what its like to be old and hurting-I tell ya-its for the birds....

But Im feeling okay-which I am thankful for-the kids have been really good and dh-well hes just been awesome-so I am so blessed....

I guess Ive just been having a pity party because Ive never been sore so long before and its a real pain just waiting for it to heal...but wait I must...and so thats what Im doing...:)

fa-la-la too-my fav season of the year- and its juts not doing it for me lately...LOLOLOL What a total bummer...LOLOLOLOL

Last but Not Least-The Pups:)

Dh and the kids decided to move the pups outside after abt a day or two of cleaning up after them in the kitchen;)LOLOLOLOL I coulndt do it and especially taking them out to potty was impossible for me to carry them down the stairs...so anyway-thats where they have been for the past week or so....I think they'll be coming in though in abt a week or two as they can climb down the stairs themselves now better and I am able to get ard better now...I feel like Im missing all their pup moments...:( but Ive been taking them out to play and socialize them with Puddin and Brownie and they have been holding their own fairly well...They will stand up to Puddin-which is sooo funny...But they are most interested in the chicken house-so thats where you will find them if I let them out. Their little nub tails just a going crazy wagging with delight-dont know if they want to eat them or what-but they are DEF interested...LOLOL

Happy Halloween...a bit late...:)

Halloween day was when I had a HUGE muscle spasm coming up the stairs as I was getting the kids ready for school...It was such a lousy day starting.I couldnt even move -pain was shooting all up my right side and no one was up to really help me-it was the worst pain I have EVER experianced:( man-I dont even like thinking about it....KIds heard me crying and moaning and rushed to wake up Dad and we went to the emergency room....gave me hydrocodone(sp?)anyway-wasnt much fun Halloween day-was in so much pain and couldnt really help the kids get ready that much to go trick or treating...LOLOLOL, Stinger went a little crazy with the blood on his face, but overall I think they did a fine job;)LOLOLOL Dontcha think:)

The Truth Abt Santa....

http://www.cozi.com/live-simply/truth-about-santa

A few months back, the Tooth Fairy got busted. She left a note for Alice up on her computer, and Lucy figured the whole business out. The Tooth Fairy cursed her need to write notes in elaborate fonts and tried to come up with a cover story, but it didn’t fool Lucy.

To her credit, Lucy has kept the secret from her little sister, who still hasn’t lost a tooth and deserves to wake up with money under her pillow.

But the Tooth Fairy knew it couldn’t be too long before Santa was similarly unmasked. She didn’t know when or how, but she knew the days of magic in her house, at least magic of a certain sort, were coming to an end.

And the Tooth Fairy—by which I mean myself—was pretty darned sad about the inevitable, which finally arrived last week.

Lucy and I have been exchanging notes since the school year started. We’ve talked about all sorts of things—sports, books we’d like to read, adventures we’d like to have, even stories from when I was in third grade. For the most part, though, it’s been light, casual stuff. Until last week.

I NEED TO KNOW, she wrote, using capital letters for emphasis. ARE YOU SANTA? TELL ME THE TRUTH.

What do you do when your kid asks for the truth? You tell it, of course, doing your best to figure out a way that keeps at least some of the magic intact.

Here’s what I wrote:

Dear Lucy,

Thank you for your letter. You asked a very good question: “Are you Santa?”

I know you’ve wanted the answer to this question for a long time, and I’ve had to give it careful thought to know just what to say.

The answer is no. I am not Santa. There is no one Santa.

I am the person who fills your stockings with presents, though. I also choose and wrap the presents under the tree, the same way my mom did for me, and the same way her mom did for her. (And yes, Daddy helps, too.)

I imagine you will someday do this for your children, and I know you will love seeing them run down theChristmas magic stairs on Christmas morning. You will love seeing them sit under the tree, their small faces lit with Christmas lights.

This won’t make you Santa, though.

Santa is bigger than any person, and his work has gone on longer than any of us have lived. What he does is simple, but it is powerful. He teaches children how to have belief in something they can’t see or touch.

It’s a big job, and it’s an important one. Throughout your life, you will need this capacity to believe: in yourself, in your friends, in your talents and in your family. You’ll also need to believe in things you can’t measure or even hold in your hand. Here, I am talking about love, that great power that will light your life from the inside out, even during its darkest, coldest moments.

Santa is a teacher, and I have been his student, and now you know the secret of how he gets down all those chimneys on Christmas Eve: he has help from all the people whose hearts he’s filled with joy.

With full hearts, people like Daddy and me take our turns helping Santa do a job that would otherwise be impossible.

So, no. I am not Santa. Santa is love and magic and hope and happiness. I’m on his team, and now you are, too.

I love you and I always will.

Mama
