A few pictures....

I am back among the living now. I had a few rough, ROUGH, days but things are a bit better now. I just want to say thank you to all those that left such sweet comments, called to check on me, took my kids, brought me amazing & thoughtful gifts, etc. Thank you to each one of you. I truly am blessed with fabulous people in my life. I think I will be okay for the rest of the week now. (keeping fingers crossed, of course!) WHEW!

Disclaimer:
sorry about the quality of these pictures. I tried to take them, apparently, at the WORST time of day and the sun was glaring at me from all angles (no blinds to shade yet). My "shade" setting couldn't even tone it down.. anyways, I'll post some so you can get a little bit of an idea of what things look like. I promise I will take other GOOD ones and post them soon.

Welcome to our almost new home.. It is so weird to think about

1 + 1 = NOT GOOD

So Wednesday morning I threw my back out. I guess I carried too many boxes the day before and somehow pinched a nerve. It really has been awful!

I had been typing on the computer and when I stood up- WHAMMO- it dropped me to the ground. I seriously couldn't even move, literally. Luckily Tayler was home so she brought me the phone. I made my way to my tub, filled it up and got in thinking that would help, but it took me a good 20 minutes to get out. I felt better afterwards and thought that maybe it wasn't anything big, until I put my pants on and again another pain dropped me to the ground. I called Sean sobbing and he came right home and has been helping me ever since. He is seriously such an amazing person! He does whatever with no complaining at all.

Yesterday late afternoon I started feeling really really cold and couldn't get warm (even with my pants, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, big HUGE fuzzy socks and slippers on) I was still shivering. I even laid in front of Jayson's heater in his bedroom, but still couldn't shake the shivers. We finally took my temperature and it was 102! Really, if not being able to move wasn't bad enough I get some awful virus that makes me puke, shiver, body aches all over, stiff neck, etc. OH BOY! I haven't been sick for a long time- WHY now? I have so much to do. Did I mention that we are moving in 1 week- YES, 1 week and I move like I'm 90!

This is gonna be a long week.

A day with the dentist

Yesterday Tay & Rylee had a date with the Dentist to get there teeth cleaned. They both did amazing and were so cute. Rylee couldn't wait until it was her turn. I love the office I work in!!

They were all so great with my kids. Tayler also had a tooth pulled out. She had one where the permanent tooth has already grown up behind her baby one so Dr. Jeff pulled it out. The shot hurt her, but she didn't shed any tears. They also gave her a little "happy gas" just for fun too. I was scared that she was going to divulge family secrets because she was starting to act a little "loopy" and spouting off whatever she thought off.

Since she was numb she had no idea that the dentist had already pulled out her tooth. She was amazed. It was funny! So Miss tooth fairy paid us a visit last night.

Seriously, Rylee wants to go back to the dentist today.

My little girls are growing up Rylee getting some flouride (a.k.a. "Bubbles") on her teeth

A big Shout out to my friend Maria who kept Rylee after dance yesterday at her house until we went to the Dentist. It was so nice and I got a LOT of packing done!

I will have pictures of our new home soon. I promise!
