On Saturday evening, Brian and I had our first evening out since Todd was born. We went to the Toby Keith concert in Tampa with some friends. It was nice to be out of the house and not have children attached to my every limb. Heck, I think this is the first time I've actually been anywhere since Todd was born that I didn't wear spitup at some point in the evening! Nevertheless, I can't remember the last time I felt so old and uncool. Brian didn't help make me feel any cooler since every time a young girl walked by he'd go into cardiac arrest with the "Hayley better never wear an outfit like that" or "Hayley won't ever be able to come to a concert like this without her Daddy" and so on. Funny how children can so drastically change your perspective on EVERYTHING!

Ugh!
I've been sick with a cold for the past four days. Sore throat, runny nose, the works. It's the middle of summer. I live in Florida. How on earth is it possible that I'm SICK right now??!! I blame my back. Yep, that's right, my back. While cleaning the bathrooms last Wednesday I hurt my back... badly. According to my incredibly gifted massage therapist I've got a strained sacral ligament. I've done this before with my initial injury occuring back in 2002 while I was doing squats at the gym. Apparently pregnancy can just exacerbate the problem which I was made well aware of last week. I spent three days in excruciating pain which completely exhausted my body, thus making me vulnerable to even the weakest germ. By Thursday afternoon my throat was on fire, I cried every time I had to pick up one of my babies, and I was beginning to feel that I was going to be debilitated for life. Thankfully my massage therapist was able to see me on Saturday morning and by noon I felt like maybe I wasn't quite at death's doorstep. While not completely back to normal, my cold is breaking up and my back isn't causing me near as much pain. I'm hoping to get back to my usual workout by tomorrow albeit a little lower key. The two important lessons that I learned from all of this? Number one, I can never move away from my massage therapist and number two, Brian is the one that will need to clean our bathrooms from now on! Ha!
