My Aching Back

Today was difficult. I woke up with a back ache, making even the thought of picking up Aiden painful. I took a nap in the morning when Aiden napped and hoped that would help it. Nope. And of course, guess what Aiden wanted me to do all day - pick him up! For some reason (I believe he knows that I am off to class in the evening) he was feeling very needy today. Not only that, but he had his first tumble off the changing table. Scared the crap out of me and made me feel like the world’s worst mom. Now I was feeling needy.

During his afternoon nap, I realized that I hadn’t gotten anything ready for my class this evening. I was able to get everything done before he woke (that will never happen again, I’m sure) and even start dinner. Chris came home and I actually had some time to eat dinner with him. Then we did the usual Wednesday evening changing of the guard and I was off to class.

Surprisingly while I was teaching my back stopped hurting. Guess it needed a little break from carrying around Mr. I’m Over Twenty Pounds. Whatever was making it ache was gone and I was thankful. Now I’m home and in bed. Going to watch The Daily Show and possibly The Colbert Report, if I don’t fall asleep first.
