change of plans

first let me start by wishing craig a very happy birthday... i am so sad that your birthday wasn't fun filled, but i promise we will make it up next weekend.

yesterday my mom was supposed to come down for the weekend. i was looking forward to her visit for so many reasons. i love when she is here, the kids love it too. she helps out so much, and she is so happy just spending time with the kids. i love seeing the joy on her face. i was also looking forward to going out with craig to celebrate his birthday. we were going to go out to dinner, and go watch shopping for craig's birthday gift.

yesterday morning i woke up to discover at some point i had completely thrown my back out... i couldn't even stand up straight. so we canceled our plans, i laid down and craig has been mr. mom. not exactly fun, but that's life.

the kids were bummed, so craig brought them to the Y to play. apparently he decided to see how hadley would do in the child watch, and he said she loved it! she made some friends and they were coloring together. i would have love to see that.

today craig brought the boys to get haircuts, and i was putting hadley down for her nap. she did the same thing she usually does and went into her big girl room and said she wanted to nap there. but today she didn't then run to her crib when i went to tuck her in... she actually went to sleep. i couldn't believe it! she napped for about 2 hours, and just played in her bed when she woke up. once my back is feeling better, i will work on the transition to her new room.

i'm so happy that craig has tomorrow off to give my back another day to recover... it is hard to take care of the kids when i'm not feeling great, and have a cold. it is a whole different situation when physically i can't even pick up my baby. i may need to visit the chiropractor this week... for now i am just praying it is better for tuesday.
