Labor Day weekend

(Sorry it took so long for this post)

Well to say the least, Labor Day weekend was a bust for us this year. Mike left for St. Louis on Friday morning to visit some clients and to play softball that weekend. Also on Friday morning I twisted my lower back while getting Libby ready to leave for Gymboree and to run a few errands. I tried to call Mike to come back but he was already too far away. I couldn't sit, which meant no driving and it was pretty painful to walk. Luckily Aunt Joyce was available to bring me some much needed diapers. Joyce and Brady visited a little while-the highlight of Libby's day. I some how made it though taking care of Libby by myself but not without a lot of tears, pain and laying around.

Saturday morning, I called my sister to come take care of Libby. In the mean time, Mike's games aren't scheduled to start until 6 pm so he is calling around to find me a chiropractor in Omaha. I was thinking "good luck-it is a holiday weekend, nobody is open on Saturday". With luck he found someone that was open and would see me right away! Aunt Joyce came over to drive me and watch Libby while I was there. I felt a little better after the visit. The painful twing was gone but it was still sore and stiff. About the time we were getting home Kim and the kids showed up. Libby was SUPER excited to see them since she had been stuck at home with mom unable to do anything. The kids played, watched a bunch of Disney movies, and ate pizza. Kim did some laundry for me, cleaned up the messes that Libby had made that I couldn't pick up, and changed about 6 poopy diaper-she was my lifesaver!

Sunday morning Mike's team was on a rain delay. They still hadn't played any games and weren't scheduled to play until 7pm that night! I had another chiropractor's appt. at 1:30 (what an awesome chiropractor to see me on Sunday during the holiday weekend!). Kim stayed until about 3:30. She originally was going to take Libby home with her so I could heal but Mike had called to say the team was heading home. I was so glad! The boys got home around 7, they were pretty disappointed in how the weekend went. I was too! Libby and I missed the Husker party at Steph and Howie's and we missed the pool party (and the weather was beautiful) at Uncle Rod and Aunt Callie's.

Monday we went to Lowe's so Mike could get some supplies to finish painting the basement. It felt good to walk around but was still painful to sit in the car. The rest of my day was spend on the couch.

Tuesday I took Libby to Gymboree art class with a little pain. I still couldn't sit on the hard plastic chairs or bend over much to help with her projects. I had another chiropractor appt that afternoon. I have been getting around much better but still am a little sore.

Hopefully next Labor Day weekend will be better for us!
