I don't think I've ever actually sent a get better soon card to anybody? Hope that doesn't make insensitive. I have sent "thinking of you"...which is a watered down, more generic and general sentiment. They are just too cheesy...they always have flowers on the front and when you open it is a full page of small cursive sappy text. i guess that just isn't me. Why can't there be a miserable lady sitting on the pot with tissue everywhere that says, life sucks right now...but open the card and it says..."but its going to get better". I'd send that card. the next person i know who is sick is getting a card from me.
I know I'm borderline one of those people who seem to only complain about having sick kids...but this is day 3 people!!! I was so looking forward to being a normal family again. But, Charlee threw up on me in the night and Josh still feels like he might throw up....so alas, day 3 of house arrest. There are throw up bowls strategically placed throughout the house, the diet of saltines, Cheerios and water continues, and Liam's car seat is still out in the driveway. It's been hosed down, but I still need Jo to really clean it for me. It's one of those things that the sheer thought of cleaning it makes me shut down. My friend Alison was here and I told her that if she was a good friend she would take it and clean it for me...at that point we both looked over at it and there were ants eating the goldfish and graham crackers that live in the nooks and crannies of all car seats and flies were all over the regurgitated Mac and cheese and chunky milk. Even as I said it I thought, "no...nobody should have to touch that...but I know my aunt Jo will...cause she loves me".
I love my Pilates class. Here is a picture of myself using the reformer and my legs up in the leg straps. I get such a good stretch, my tailbone is so much improved, my core is getting stronger, you can actually start to see the muscles in my arms and I'm there with people I like and our instructor is great. I still do Zumba 4x/week too...I love both. I just hope the instructor doesn't use psy's new song...I am embarrassed just watching Matt Lauer learn the dance moves on the today show. I can't imagine me doing them. Have mercy.
2 I've got something to say:
I want to start doing Pilates once my belly is healed. I've needed to do it long before surgery, but now that all the scar tissue is cleaned out my core will work better! You'll have to keep me updated about how you like it.
ok... so just let me say that the most inaccurate thing you have EVER said to me is (in relation to the vomitus maximus car seat)was, "the only thing that really needs to be cleaned is the little pad that covers the buckle in hot weather"... ha ha ha.... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... see me laughing? ha ha ha ha ha... let my wipe my eyes...but anyway, after taking the WHOLE thing apart, there was not one crevice that was missed by "spew boy"... nasty, nasty... well, back to the carseat detailing job... jojo
