Just sitting around

I am on the injured list today. yesterday i was working on a really cool painting project at church, and I wasn't being very careful. I over-extended my reach and fell off of a step ladder. I landed on something very hard and fractured a bone in my heel. I am in pain, and I'm so irritated at myself for being such a clutz. big sigh. i am couch bound for a few days, and I have the use of a pair of crutches as I can't put any weight on my heel. The doctor gave me a splint to wear once all of the swelling goes down. The good news is that if I stay off of it for a few days, this type of fracture will usually heal quickly. No cast is required for that reason too. So for the next few days I am going to be just sitting around, not something I'm used to. Maybe I will enjoy it so much it will become my new way of life! Marky told me that if SHE "got" to just sit around all day she would have so much fun - she would read, do her nails, do a spa... maybe I'll try the spa idea tomorrow!!

In love

I am SO in love with this I want to marry it. Or buy it. Or just look at it for a long, long time.

Princess Meredith

This morning was the first morning that we implemented a routine for getting ready for school. Last week was so sporadic as far as who was going to school and when that it would have been pointless to even try to get a routine going. Over the last few months, I've been teaching Meredith how to make her bed by herself. Naturally, making her bed falls within the morning routine, so we went upstairs to do just that before getting ready to go to school. After much sighing and whining, Meredith said "I wish that I had a birdie to make my bed for me, just like Cinderella". Of course she does... *sigh*
