Cookie Day...

I am working on finishing up all my Christmas stuff.  I just found out we don't have to host any Christmas family events at our house this year, Jenny wants to host at her and Anna's house, so that means an easier holiday for us.  I am waiting on the last of the mail ordered gifts to trickle in over the next few days so I can wrap up my final things and be DONE.  Looking forward to that BIG FINISH!

This Saturday is our annual cookie bake.  We've skipped a few years... ummm like 8 cause of bad traditions of people dying each year we did it, so this year we are hoping to get past the 7 year curse and really start another fun family tradition.  Everyone is bringing cookie dough and we are doing cut out cookies different candies of their choice.  Then when we are all done we share and everyone takes a bit of everything home, and LOTS of cut out sugar iced cookies of course!  It will be a fun fun day for us all.  Lots of laughs and memories.  I'm looking forward to it!

I am so sore today.  I slept most of the night in bed and that tends to KILL my back.  I am hurting bad.  I go see Jeff on Monday and I am going to tell him about all these issues I've been having.  I know it's because I've lost weight and am more active, but I shouldn't have to live with this chronic pain daily.  It sucks not sleeping in the same bed as my husband.  It really makes me sad.  I hurt so bad in my back, down my leg and through my butt cheeks.  I should have taken care of this years ago, but being fat and less active it didn't hurt every day, I babied it, now that I am up doing more it's so painful.  I hate being in pain till at least noon daily.  It ruins my mornings when I can't even bend over and get something I drop.  Some days I can't even pick Brody up out of bed and it scares me bad.  I do the stretches and exercises I learned through therapy, but they aren't helping at all.  I just want this fixed NOW.  I have a new lease on life and there's no excuses for being lazy, I can't let this get me down daily.  It's going to sabotage everything I have worked so hard to achieve at this point.  I'd rather go through childbirth than suffer with this back pain every day.  I'd rather give birth once a day than deal with this crippling pain.  It's awful.  The spasms and the shooting sharp pain.  The ache and the hurt.  I am soooo OVER IT!

Tonight is Cole's Christmas program at school.  Today I plan on getting groceries for our cookie day.  I am picking up the final things and getting ready for the weekend.  It's going to be a busy day.  I am not looking forward to driving in this snow though.  Ugh. 

Well here I go... bacon's on for breakfast and I gotta get Cole out of bed.
