All fall down.

Last night my Polish side came out. As I was going out to close the trunk, I somehow fell (pretty sure I stepped on a rock and my platform flippy floppies didn't agree with the rolling movement and decided to roll me onto my ass, twisting my ankle/foot) and I couldn't get up.

I had to call the hubby on my cell phone to help me get up. I was positive I had broken my foot...the pain was excruciating. Thankfully, Jim was home to watch the kids and my sister in law was able to come bring me to the hospital. After x-rays, the doc and radiologist confirmed that I didn't not break my foot, but seriously sprained the shit out of my foot. Ice, rest, elevate the offending limb, ace bandage wrap and my "sexy gimp boot". So now it's the day after and the pain is still awful...except I don't have the hubby here to cater to my needs. Instead I have three little snots ready to destroy the house and ignore everything I say.

I've been begging them to pick up their messes and threaten their lives if I have to get up and discipline them and this is basically what I get:

I'm waiting on some crutches to come so I can actually get up to whoop their butts.

Have I mentioned that the fucking dogs AND kids keep hitting my injured foot!?!? So here are the things I need, if anyone feels like bringing them to me: a babysitter, some wine and a bed pan. Pretty sure those three things are all I really need today.

Feeling good!

How often do you think to yourself, "Hot damn, I feel good!"!? I have been feeling it a lot lately. Like, I just took a healthy, good.

Like, helped an old lady cross the street, good.

Like, in love, good.

There are many factors that play into it, but I think the main one is that I am taking care of myself like I should have been forever. I'm cutting the stress, I eating right, exercising, trying to simplify. I'm sure it helps to blog my feelings out too. I'm not a good writer and I'm boring, but I have fun with it. It's like a treasure hunt to find pictures that make me laugh because they fit in so nicely with my words. I'm in the process of planning a "mommy mini vacation" for myself to take some time and focus on me. Initially I was hoping to go to Florida (the ultimate vacation) to sit in the sun and see my bff, but those plans fell through. Now, the plans are going to fall together, but I will start off with a pedicure (thank you Mom), the new Dean Koontz book(s) and silence while I read until my eyes burn and I am going to go horseback riding, on a draft horse (omg, so psyched!!!). Who knows what else I might throw in there!! Then when I'm done, I will come back home to my lovely little family, and I will get back into the grind...my batteries recharged and ready to go. Ahh, man. Life is good.
