Last Thursday, I threw out my back. I am not exactly sure what happens when you "throw out your back" as there wasn't any throwing. I was just getting out of the shower and putting on my socks. I only got half of one sock on before "it" happened. I am still not sure what happened. I was putting on a sock and then I was filled with pain and unable to move. I had to call my husband (on the phone since he was in the basement) to come help me.
I made it to work on Monday but was in a lot of pain. Sitting is the worst. I moved my chiropractor appointment up to 2:30 requiring me to leave work early. I got a call 15 min before I needed to leave for that appointment that Miss D was sick at school and needed to be picked up. I got her, we went to the chrio and got home. Soon she was vomiting.
Thursday started out as an interesting day. I had to miss work to take Stormy to the doctor. I was really torn over missing work as I had to miss an event I had been trying to get going at my college for almost two years. But, the event was in capable hands and I had already made contingency plans in case I had to miss work because Stormy had to be picked up from day care with a fever on Wednesday. It was a really good decision to miss work because the doctor said, "Yikes!" as she looked into each of my son's ears. There was a reason for his continued unhappiness and its called double ear infections. He was crabby the rest of the day. By Thursday night I was so happy to be showering. The kids were finally asleep and I could take a shower in hopes of making it to work on Friday. I never made it to work on Friday.
I went to the chiropractor Friday morning then spend the rest of the day and the weekend laying down while knitting and watching a lot of TV. Thank goodness for yarn, Netflix and Hulu. I finished crocheting a baby blanket, knit three hats and two dishcloths.

Today I am home with a sick daughter and I received a text from Stormy's babysitter that he is the crabbiest he has ever been. She's going to drop him off after he wakes up from his nap.
On the plus side, my back is starting to feel better. Maybe I can resume exercise next week.
I'm feeling like I can't catch a break. Do you ever feel that way?
