Simple pleasures on a lazy Sunday

Last Wednesday evening, as I was lying in bed reading,
I sneezed and pulled a muscle in my back.

Holy freak accident!

On Thursday I was in pain, but I had much to do, so I was out and about.

Isabella's fall break was Friday = no school & sleeping in.

Yet I woke up at 6:00 AM with terrible back pain.

Which now extended all way down my left arm and my left leg.

I could barely get out of bed.

Scary!

Scott stayed home from work to help with the kids and take me to the doctor.

I've been in a lot of pain and pretty much out of commission, until today.

I'm starting to feel a little bit better.

So we went to Church.

Made a quick visit to Lowe's.

Had lunch @ Humdingers.

And spent the rest of our day doing a whole lot of nothing.

Except playing with the kids (mostly Scott).

And watching them all play (me).

But I can't believe how long the healing process is taking.

Or how much it hurts when I cough, sneeze or laugh.

Or when I pick up my 40 pound two-year old.

So, I'm hoping to be back to normal SOON.

Back pain is NO joke, people!

Anyway, I leave you with a couple pictures of the simple pleasures of the day:

 Have a great week, everyone!
