That’s where I am right now — on the injured list. I picked up a bag of canned goods out of the Jeep, turned, took a step, and then ouch. My right hip area just plain hurts right now; I’m pretty much okay sitting here working but walking is very painful. I feel like Hop a Long Cassidy!

My kids know I’m not doing too well (we’ve been through this before). When they saw mommy hobbling they knew I’d “done it again”. (I think I need more exercise to strengthen things up a bit but…shhhh)

My daughter was the first to say something to the two younger boys who were misbehaving. “Guys, mom doesn’t feel good, okay? Knock it off, NOW! so then the boys come running “Mommy, you okay?” Of course I tell them that I’ll be just fine especially if they behave really well for me.

Buddy is in the kitchen and I can hear water running, dishes banging, and footsteps going back and forth. I’d love to go in there and see how clean the kitchen is but well I don’t want to spoil his surprise and I really am hurting too much at the moment to get up. I can also smell the delicious aroma of what I think is going to be brownies! Whoo Hoo; the injured list isn’t a bad place to be!

We all have chiropractor appointments tomorrow and once he adjusts me I’ll be just fine again; I’ll have to go in a couple of times next week to make sure my hip sets right again. For now, I’m just enjoying the pampering and am not going to bother to tell them that the chiro will be able to make mommy feel all better tomorrow! 🙂
