boys

Elijah is a spider monkey. He climbs things all the time.

He was recently climbing on my dresser and lost his footing and opened a drawer and fell. Landing with all of his weight on the top of his left foot, he screamed in pain.

I was able to calm him down and get him down for a much needed nap.

Twenty minutes into his nap he awoke crying in pain...off to the ER to get an xray.. here we go!

Luckily there was little going on in the ER and we were in and out in 2 hours. Luckily nothing was broken.

These boys, I tell ya!

uncle.........

My back is doing very very well.

I have had no problems with daily life or working at my new waitressing job at a sushi restaurant in Breck.

I had a great night last night at work, no problems, no straining, no catastrophes. Home by 11:30 and in bed by midnight.

Two of my most loyal friends even came in to eat dinner in attempts to help me learn more about sushi and practice without pressure.

What a blessed and lucky girl I am.

Three Thirty in the morning I am brutally awakened by a small sharpened finger poking my sternum........juicejuicejuicejuicejuice

I sleepily get up and try to find a cup. I then proceed to water down some juice in hopes that I will be able to get not only the boy back to sleep but return to a much needed slumber myself.

I get the boy back in bed and decide that I too need a sip of something. I turn from the bed and lose my balance catching myself on the door and twist my right knee.

I fall to the ground as quietly as possible. The last thing I need is to wake anyone up.

I get back in bed forgoing the drink that I now desperately need.

I squeeze into the small spot left for me in my KING size bed.

6 am.............

Forgetting the ordeal of the night in my comatose state, I get out of bed and immediately hit the ground in pain from my knee. I also notice that the right side of my neck is all cramped up.

Thanks for all the space.

My sprained knee and crick in my neck is really going to help me out cleaning the house, cooking and chasing the boy who runs around causing chaos non-stop.

Life happens right???

Everything has a lesson???

The lesson here is...................................................................................?

Do tell.
