Temporarily Out of Order...

I'm still here! First couple of weeks on the crutches I was just grouchy and grumpy (with a smile on my face) and now I'm annoyed by the cast and I just haven't felt like blogging. I don't think you really want to hear about me hopping to the kitchen for a drink or my graceful attempts to get into and out of our deep soaking tub!!! My days have been filled with elevating and icing!

I'm grateful to my mom for helping me with the children but I can't tell you how hard it was for me to give up control. I tried to stay in the loop for a day but quickly realized I couldn't do it. So I became a supervisor.

Doctor appointment last Friday. I get to walk on the cast. That lifted my spirits until I realized that I might have been faster on the crutches!! Whoa is me!!! Will this never end!!

Mike and I decided to do a "Lonesome Dove" marathon on Saturday and we watched 8-9 hours of this wonderful western saga! We would stop it for bathroom and food breaks! We are really wild party animals in our old age!

I did get a bit pumped up for a trip to Wal Mart on Sunday (Hey...I've been pretty much stuck at home for 2 weeks...Wal Mart sounded like the party of the year!). I had to cut my list short because my leg was hurting a bit and my other knee was hurting and I refused to use a wheelchair or those electric scooter things they have!!

It hasn't all been bad.....I've received some beautiful flowers, wonderful meals, lots of cards (that Mike always opens before me...he's such a kid!) I got to see what it was like to sit around all day doing nothing....(it's not as great as I thought it would be!) I got to spend the night with the kids while their mom was out murdering someone last Friday....(go to her blog for details of the Murder Mystery Reunion Party) **she had nothing to do with the REAL murder that happened on Saturday in Coshocton!!! Mike took me to Bob Evans for breakfast Sunday morning after church then I watched Madison's Elite Dance Dress Rehearsal....(it was awesome). I've been able to move around much better this week and did more with the children (almost putting my mom out of work...but not quite).

It's been a L O N G 2 1/2 weeks!

I must say....I will be excited to clean my house when I'm up and running again. I might even get excited about scouring the bathroom and polishing the furniture!

Good luck to the Elite Dancers who go to their first competition this weekend.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers during my unfortunate and regrettable chair accident. May this miserable memory rush into your mind anytime you think about standing on a child's chair to do anything!

Happy March...don't forget to turn your clocks up Saturday night!
