Lovin' This

My Mama Made It. One of my new favorite blogs. She just has a lovely gentle style. The repurposing part is a plus too! I attempted to make a floral pin...twice...and it just doesn't look nearly as grand as hers. So, there's one on the way from Lexi's Etsy shop.

In the mean time, I'll keep attempting to replicate them myself. Try & try again, right?

Highlights

We've had an uneventful, homebody kind of (two) week.
(Besides W's lone quest to find me one evening...that not included!)


Without a vehicle, our schedule dramatically changed. In some ways for the better. I actually quite liked not having to be at appointments, school, gymnastics, etc. This home bound state also brought about feeling a part of our little community...small townish...which was lovely. Walking to the chiropractor...and being oh so proud of my boys as they adapted well to a new Dr. Chiro & especially W who vowed to take care of me & held my hand & toes during the adjustment while R laid his little face by mine almost crying, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy".

Walking with the wagon for groceries, a visit to the dollar store for a treat, the movie store, and at every spare patch of snow W would drop to make a snow angel. Cutie! And frustrating...cause it slowed us down! Come on, I'm not that kind of mom who only noticed the sweetness and not the slowness....you all know me better than that! My point after all this rambling is....it was nice to walk, enjoy our "towne", be on our own schedule and feel like we live in a community.



There was definitely some cabin fever about. The boys & mine.
I also discovered that Bup is absolutely, without a doubt, 2.
Two!
Into everything.
Sassy...."No!" "Go way!"
Running away laughing when it's diaper time...which is cute the first time only!
Loves to "cook"...especially in the pantry. And I can trust him in there...so far...as he can't open lids yet. However! Mr.W can and will do so willingly. While preparing dinner, I could hear the quiet, then the two of them laughing and what do I find? The little cookers in the pantry, smelling very spicy, and R with an auburn head that smelled strongly of cinnamon with W laughing..."Look at Bup's hair!!" A whole bottle of cinnamon dumped on R's head! (Which reminded me of another two brothers...in which the elder dumped 20 cups of flour on the other's head....my mom has a 10x13 pic of that framed on her wall!) Poor FH almost had his nostrils burned out after sniffing R's head! I thought I had brushed most of it away. Oops! Well, its off to choir practice for me, leaving FH to bathe the boys and fight with Bup to wash his cinnaminny hair. He hates that!!
The other pantry escapade? Bup peeing on top of the garbage can. Yup. Nice! At least it was the garbage can and not the lazy susan or spice rack or...a plethora of other places. Can you believe I admit these things?

Highlight recap:
Walk about "towne". Snow angels left like urban Inukshuks.
Bottle of cinnamon dumped on Bup's head.
Bup peeing on the garbage can.


We're all class here. All class.....

Loopy Lucy

Remind me to never again take cough medicine immediately following ingesting muscle relaxants!
It's no secret that I have back challenges. Especially since having my first born. When he was three months of age I was completely bedridden for a week or so and couldn't even pick my little "chunk of love" up. Since then there have been moments of pain and a lot of chiropractic care, massage therapy, yoga and some physio therapy.
I've been slack over the past two years. Doing very little to care for my back or prevent this from happening again.
It's got to stop! I cannot keep doing this. I want a different life for myself and for my boys. I want them to have a mom that can play and function on a daily basis. Having a weak back is absolutely debilitating. My pain level is probably at a 10. Seriously. Nothing touches it. Even the freaky combination of Robaxacet & Benylyn DM. Which was an accident. I took the B-DM for this never ending cough & chest congestion...and wuhoooohooo the room is spinny, nothing was really in focus and it was better if I didn't operate SAHM machinery....like the blender for our morning smoothie, and god forbid I go near the glue gun for Christmas gifts!
What to do? What to do?
Well, my favorite chiropractor is miles & miles away. And I'm without a vehicle. (Another PLOM story. )
So, I'm about to embark on a new chiro journey and physio to train my muscles to hold my bones in place and I've got to get yoga in there somewhere and guess what else? Yeah, you know it. Lose weight. It's inevitable. Cause really all the therapies in the world won't provide long term help if el poucho tummo is still in existence.
So, God help me. Here I go. Loopy Lucy is aspiring to become Lean'n'healthy Lucy!

(Can I whine any louder? Probably! Stay tuned to find out! Just wait until I get into the Diet Coke & Special K topic...which comes with thoughts on weight loss.)
