It was a good day...

Until I fell down my stairs! Yes, I somehow managed to fall and hit every stair before landing in a nice little pile at my husband's feet! All in the name of laundry....Jaylin and Hunter's laundry at that! That is how my Mother's day ended...

My morning began with getting the kiddos dressed and out of the house without waking Rick. Now that he is on the night shift at the PD ( they work on 4 month rotations) I spend my weekends keeping the kids quiet and out of the house...which makes for a stressful weekend for me....I really hate the night shift....and I really hate that he is on this shift in the summer - it is hard for the kids. We have so much going on in the summer and it is a challenge to take care of it all....I'm stubborn so it will get done.

I must admit that I was a little upset that he would be sleeping away most of Mother's day, but I also recognize that he can't pick his schedule. He did make an effort to be sweet....he stopped by at 2 am to bring me a treat - taffy! I heart taffy! He also took off a couple of hours early and made it home around 5 am so he could go to bed earlier and be up at a decent time to take me out for dinner. He's a good guy....I guess I'll keep him! :).

The kids and I take off to spend the day with my mom (she lives a little over 30 miles away). We had a great time - we cooked, ate, played outside and took a lot of pictures. We also watched the Mavs sweep the Lakers...whoo hoo! After the game we loaded up to head home to spend the rest of day with Rick.

5 minutes after getting in the door I decided to start Jaylin and Hunter's laundry. Bad idea! After grabbing both hampers I started down the stairs....after the first step I knew I was going down! I hit 10 out of the 11 steps. My head, back, hip and behind made the most contact. It really hurt....horribly! So no special dinner for me... I can't Stan, walk or sit....this is going to be fun!

Happy Mother's day...it's been a painful one!

Still counting my blessings!
