Well, friends. My brain is the kind of fuzzy it can only be after going to bed at 2 a.m. Between the baby and trying to de-pacifier the toddler (AGGGGH) it was a rough night. With much screaming.
I have never been so excited about a doctor’s appointment as I am about going to the spine specialist about my stupid back on Monday. You probably know I’ve been battling sciatica for a solid 3 months or more now. Basically by 5-6 in the morning I have screaming pain in my hip and calf that sometimes goes away as the day progresses, sometimes not, depending on what I am doing. I can’t sit on the couch comfortably, it’s difficult to nurse, and I am SO HOPING to get some answers and help.
I am desperately trying to catch up on my blogs, but not doing a great job. But here are a few things I’ve read/seen/heard lately that you should check out.
- Grief Is Complicated at Giving Up on Perfect – My friend Mary has been in an awesome writing vibe lately. You should read everything she’s written for the last month!
- If Only It Were That Simple at Not Quite Amish – On reducing clutter and stuff
- Today I Lived and You Did Too at Hands-Free Mama
- Dear Less-Than-Perfect Mom at Becoming Supermommy
- YUM of the Week: Blueberry Bars with Lattice Crust at Zoe Bakes
Reading offline: I finished Victim of Grace by Robin Jones Gunn. I would have read it in one sitting if I could have. FANTASTIC autobiography of her life and writing career intertwined with stories of women in the Bible. Since it came in at the library, I am reading one of her novels now, Canary Island Song.
