I have had a lot of help since my recent fall. Wow I sound like a seventy year old woman. This week Neal had to get back to his normal working schedule. So Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the kids and I had an interesting time. Poor Aliya was left to make beds and pick up toys and random spills throughout the day. She was such a big help. Grant discovered that he could put my crutches across the room and then he is able to have an extra Popsicle and there is nothing his crippled mother can do about it. (He actually put the Popsicle back. Big Shocker, I know. There is a conscience in that kid after all.) We survived. The pain is starting to subside a bit, but all my muscles throughout my whole back hurt. I still can't put any weight on my right side. I can't go to girls camp. :( I finally get put in the young woman's and I decide to get clumsy.
My Mom came Wednesday night. Thank Goodness. It is incredibly hard for me to sit on my couch and watch my Mom run around cleaning and taking care of the kids. I am so thankful for the help, but it's hard to not be able to do it myself. I think my Mom is already worn out and it's only the first day. I don't think she has sat down once and Grant is giving her a run for her money. When someone told her it was four oclock she was in shock at how fast the time had gone. I called my sweet cousin Alex to come and get Aliya for a girls night. She deserves it. I am sure she was excited to get away from her rowdy brothers and her crazy Mom. Thanks everyone for all the comments and the help. I don't what I would do without such great family and friends. And thanks to my amazing husband for putting up with me!!

I have an extra walker if you would like to use it. It was a huge help in the bathroom and for getting in and out of the shower for me ??? Let me know and I'll bring it right by.
Ohhhhh... please take "Coach" up on the offer for the walker. and then take pics... lots and lots of pics. I will pay good money for that.
I'm SOOO sorry you are a gimp right now. It's times like these that I really wish we lived closer. I would love to take those little boys off your hands and show them what their aunt misty can do when mommy isn't around. hehehehe
You're going to have to spend your 30th birthday on the couch with a walker... that is so insightful to how the rest of your life will be. It's all downhill from here sister!! Love you!
Wow...you poor thing. Nothing worse than not being able to help yourself. Let me know if I can do anything to help you.
XOXOXO- Erin
I was listening to your playlist today. You've got some great music in there. Some songs that I forgot to add to mine. Maybe I'll have to steal some hehe
Talk to you soon! =o) Hope you are feeling a little better!
I am so sorry that you got hurt, although it does make for a good story! I just wanted to tell you that I love your blog and I really enjoy keeping up with you and yours though it! I am a slacker about posting comments, though, and just wanted you to know that I do check it and enjoy it! Thanks for keeping in touch and for making the comments you do on mine, I will work at being better at it!
Ok, I am such a loser friend. I knew your birthday was on the 17th and I even thought about it last week. Well leave it up to me to forget. I'm so sorry. I hope you had at least a decent day even though you can't move. Hopefully my outfit last night will make up for missing your birthday. Seriously I am feeling better so please let me know what I can do besides dinner. You are so lucky to have such a great mom and sister, even if Misty would pay good money for pictures. Maybe I should take her up on that. Ha Ha! I really want to do more next week so be thinking of how I can help.
