I feel OLD

What a day!  I have to say, the weather is GORGEOUS outside right now - blue skies, 65 degrees, leaves of vibrant oranges, reds and yellows with mums and pumpkins emerging from front porches......but man, today I feel old!  After falling down the stairs last week, my tailbone "area" still does not feel well.  I can't lie on my back, it hurts to sit on a chair normally, it hurts even more to lift Julia and pick up the millions of toys around our house....oh, if I only had a few weeks of bedrest!  YEAH RIGHT! 

I'm hoping that region of my body will feel better soon!

This school year has definitely gotten off to a busy start.  Today was just another busy Tuesday - took Marissa to Preschool at 8:20, Julia and I ran to the grocery store after, put Julia down for a nap around 9:30, had to WAKE HER (which I would NEVER do if I didn't have to) at 10:30, get back on the road to pick Marissa up at 11, come home to make lunch, get Ballerina Marissa dressed for dance, get back in the car at 12:45, check Julia into childcare (where I left her screaming), take Marissa to class and check her in, grab a treadmill, and then take a deep breath!  Oh, and then realize the sheer pain of my backside/tailbone area as I tried to walk at a reasonable speed!  Oh the joy!

So I made it through 1.1 miles before I just had to stop, and then, what I was thinking I don't know, but I get on the bike.  I positioned myself in just the right way to stand going 4 miles at a decent speed, but when I tried to get OFF the bike I almost cried it hurt so bad.  Lord, I pray I didn't really break something! 

My 40 min. of freedom was up, Miss Marissa was beaming with all the fun she had, showing off her new tap moves, Julia was clinging to the childcare worker and quickly welcomed the appearance of Marissa and I, and off we went, back home.  (So glad we have a DVD player in the car for days like this!)  So now it's 4pm...I've had two little girls asleep for an hour and a half - AT THE SAME TIME, therefore giving me time to catch up with my friend Angela and do some blogging!

Mallory arrives home in approximately 2 minutes, so I guess I have to end for now. 

I promise more pictures will be coming soon - just have to get them off of my PHONE and on to the computer! 

Hope you're having a great day!
