My poor back

So for some reason I can't sleep. This seems to be turning in to the norm these days. So I got up and started blog surfing hoping it would help me go back to sleep. No luck. So I thought I would post.
A few weeks back I hurt my back. I actually don't know when I did it. My back has hurt for quite awhile and I kept ignoring it, hoping it would go away. Well I think with the combination of boot camp and work it has suffered even more. So now I am off of work for a few weeks hoping that it will get better. I have been going to Physical therapy which helps until I leave and start back to my normal "Motherly" duties. It is like a nagging tooth ache. It just won't stop. At this point I really am a bit worried that it isnt going to get better. But I will keep my positive thoughts going and work on healing it.

Summer has been so busy. Remember awhile back I wanted to plan the perfect summer and be organized and scheduled. Well that hasn't happened. In the beginning I had planned one day craft day, another cooking, another swimming at a local pool, friday would be traveling day etc. We have managed to do some but just not on the days that I had planned. We did start our reading program at the beginning of June and whomever reads the most gets a prize. We never really decided on the prize, but so far makenna is winning. We made this big caterpillar and add to the body with every book read. It is really cute, I will take a picture so you can get the idea. I have put my kids in a few classes this summer but it just seems like we are so busy with life that it is hard to slow down. I have tried to keep my goal of an hour of tv a day, especially for makenna. She hates it, but I refuse to let her plunk down and veg all summer.

I have been busy trying to get ready for girls camp. I am bummed that I can't go home for the 24th celebration. It seems like things keep me from going home to SJ. I hate it, it has been way too long. I am hoping to go for a week or so at the beginning of August right before school starts. Which brings me to I can't believe that school will be here again. I am thinking of switching schools for makenna, trying to decide what the right thing to do is hard! Rob's sister has been here visiting. I will do another post once I download pictures.

I am just glad to be off of work for a few weeks to heal my back. I hope it works and that I can make myself not over do it. It is hard for me to sit idle, but that is what i need to do. Well I am going to go take a shower and try to get the day started. I hope to post more as always. I envy those that are able to post every day. I love to read them! Congrats to my friend Kristen on her new beautiful little girl!
