Well after my nap yesterday, I felt awesome. In fact, I haven't felt that great in a LONG time. So I went all out. Playing with Lil man in the pool, roughhousing, lifting tossing, everything (2 hrs of pool time). I even felt so good, I did some pool exercises. After a late dinner, we went for a late night family stroll. Once Lil Man went to bed, I decided to work on my mom's scarf until it was finished. (turned out awesome by the way-will post a sneak peek at end of post). Throughout all this, I heard that little voice that I mentioned earlier. I ignored it. In fact, I put that little voice in a box, and completely sealed it in with duct tape and shoved it in the back corner of my brain. Nothing was gonna ruin my perfect day, especially not some know it all little voice.
I finally fell asleep around 5am. Lil Man woke up at 6:15, and he didn't wanna go back to bed. I convinced him to do a sleepover in my bed. He falls right back asleep as soon as he climbs into my bed. And of course, now I couldn't go back to sleep. Unfortunately, it was obvious that my perfect day had come to an end. My body has staged a mutiny. And who is leading the mutiny?, you might be asking. Yup, you guessed it. That little voice that I locked away yesterday. I already had to pull out the big guns and take a pain & muscle relaxer by 7am. Normally, I try to avoid taking them as much as possible and just use Tylenol Extra Strength. But that is a definite no-go today.
I'm sure some of you are wondering..."was it worth it?". YES! I will answer yes, no matter what, every time. To see the smile & joy on Lil Man's face when I tell him I am gonna play in the pool with him. Or his surprise & excitement, when he asks (like he does every Saturday night) if I wanna go for a walk with him while he rides his trike, and this time, I say Yes!
It is definitely worth it, and I would do it again. In fact, I can guarantee I will do it again and again on any "good" day I have! (although, I have a feeling it will be awhile before the next one )
I have no idea why I wrote this novel...but oh well. If you have read clear down to this point, you are either bored, curious or you just love me. Whatever the reason, now you have seen a little peek into my life.
