Since we have invited approximately 80 gazillion friends over for a house warming party this weekend, with another bbq for my sister and her college friends the following Thursday, culminating in a weekend visit from my parents and other little sister, the kids and I have been cleaning and de-cluttering like mad.
And so, I threw my back out this morning.
Was it the diving under the couches, the dragging of the still-unpacked boxes into the garage, or the reaching and swatting of those stubborn dust bunnies?
None of these.
Instead, apparently the stress of lifting a spoonful of Cheerios to my mouth was way too much for my back this morning.
And so I sit... twitching and moaning while drool accumulates at the corners of my mouth as the muscle relaxant takes effect.
This is the worst kind of penance for me. A list of chores a mile long, a billion projects to be done in three days, and I. can't. move.
Someone has a lot of graces heading their way today. And they better be grateful for it, darn it.

It's called too much stress, my dear! I know this will mean nothing to you, but don't worry about our visit...we don't care about ANYTHING but seeing you, Andrew and the kids. We'll pitch in and set up beds and stuff when we get there. Just take it slow...I know, I know...no choice!!! I'll pray...Love you...
Nutmeg, you are amazing! Prayers and hugs! :) Alicia
Oops - that was me logged in under my son's account. LOL!
Hope you feel better soon! I'll be sending prayers your way!
I know what you mean. I sprained my thumb pushing a grocery cart back in the corral. I never could have imagined in my younger days getting injured grocery shopping. I couldn't use my right hand for 4 days. My sympathies are with you!
((((OH NO)))))
Hope your back feels better soon.
I've done silly stuff like breaking a toe because of cleaning like a "mad woman".
Oh, I know just what you mean ... sometimes it's the littlest thing that will put me over the edge and I suddenly feel so OLD ....
