Random Ramblings

My mind has just been reeling the last few days. I feel like I've been on a 3 day heroin binge and am now just coming out it. Woah!

My decluttering project is coming along nicely. The guest bed is piled 20 garbage bags high awaiting the coming of the Salvation Army tomorrow. All is left to do is to organize some of the stuff that is in there, and give it a good cleaning. Oh and an IKEA Trip. What better way to celebrate the clearing out of stuff but by buying new stuff?

I have to say the feeling I'm having of accomplishing the decluttering project is quite freeing and I look forward to throwing out more crap.

On other fronts, my body is beginning the slow process of healing on it's own. I still walk like a duck and feel like I could fall asleep anywhere, the exhaustion is well exhausting. It's funny starting to get some feeling back in my limbs after not having it so long. My muscles feel very sensitive right now. And gravity is still not my friend. This morning I was bending down to get Ally a shirt out of a drawer and I sneezed. Well the sneeze caused my muscles to tense and feel like 10,000 needles were in them and I fell right over. Ally was very confused by this. One minute I'm upright, the next I'm like a domino on the ground. I just told her that gravity is always pulling us down.

I don't start Physical Therapy for 4 more weeks. I still can't believe that's the earliest appointment I could get. But it is what it is, and in the mean time I'm hoping to remain up right.

The hardest part is caring for 2 kids and house with limited mobility. My saving grace the last week has been a kiddie pool and a toy kitchen my mom bought the kids last weekend. At first I thought she was nuts when she purchased this GIANT toy kitchen that I was going to have to tie on to the top of my car, along with a kayak, but it's been awesome. And she got a deal on it. The kitchen is living on our back patio until a time to be determined.

When I pick up the kids I'm alone with them for about 2 hours until Jason comes home. Not normally a big deal, but when you can't button your own shirt, taking care of someone else becomes very difficult. Esp. when they can't button their own shirts either.

It's been a zillion degrees so as soon as we come home the pool goes up and the splash time begins. This keeps them entertained for about an hour and keeps me sane for about 15 minutes. Jack loves splashing and crawling around. Ally loves incorporating her cooking skills in with the water. Last night she made Jack Unicorn Stew. I asked her where she got the Unicorn and I was told by a magical fairy that lives in the oven of her kitchen.

My mom got some deal.
