AS if I could get a break?! ;-)

*I wrote this last night but my connection went down, and I didn't feel like getting out of watching my shows to go fix the router ;-)

Well I wasn't able to make to with my date night with my girlfriend on Friday night. Migraine came on and pretty fast. So I went to bed early and geared up for the next day full of activity.
Caden had his t-ball game at 9 am against the other half of our crew. So fun to watch them play against each other and they all did so well. Walking back to the car, I wrenched my back. Now most of you back home would probably remember that I threw my back out about 10 times in my pregnancy with Riordan till I was 6 months post partum. Immediately I wanted to scream, "Give me a friggin' Break!" I really have been doing well, besides the headaches, so now I have become concerned with my back which I was free from with Teagan. However this time I took the advice of a massage therapist I saw when we moved here. When I got home, I did go lay in bed, but I stretched the whole time and used my heating pad. Normally in the past I would heat and lay still with tylenol. I would avoid movement at all cost, because it is so painful. Well I don't know if I just got lucky or if it really works, but it got better in time to get ready for our Cinco de Mayo party to attend. The more I moved around the more mobility I got. It's still 'pain' last night and today, but not restricting. And I don't feel the need to be in bed. Just careful how I turn or sit.
The party was fun last night. A lot of tequila going around. Catered by Valle Luna, my new favorite mexican eatery. I must go soon and get more chicken enchilada's. We left at 10:15 ish, in time to let our sitter go home about 10:30. I hear the party went on very late and everyone had so much fun. Mike was passed out the minute he hit the pillow. However, I had to kick him out for snoring ;) I was having some killer heartburn issues due to the two yummy cookies I ate. The Zantac was taking it's sweet time to kick in so I stayed up and watched 'Domino'. Didn't get to finish it, but it's wasn't that bad.
We all made it to church this morning and then went to Chili's for lunch. Back home for naps, and couldn't wait for 4 pm because Uncle John and Aunt Amy were coming for dinner! Aunt Amy and I have been wanting to do family Sunday dinner forever and it got side tracked with our pregnancies. OH WAIT! I think I've been forgetting to announce that she's pregnant! She and I are almost exactly 4 weeks apart, she's due Nov 4th!! So she's had lovely pregnancy sickness as well and is finally having better days. She's so cute and has a little baby bump already. We are looking forward to more time together. I have to say I'm selfishly sad because they have their house on the market and are looking to move to N. Phoenix. The commute to Scottsdale for her is just too hard. So we are going to do as many Sunday dinners as possible. It's so awesome to have these cousins be so close in age. I was spoiled with my sister having Isabel 6 months before Caden and they really loved each other. Caden still talks about her and misses her so much. Back to that in a second.
We had dinner from Joe's BBQ and the kids played out on the swingset. Then we hit Cold Stone Creamery for dessert! It was a perfect night. RIordan is still not happy his Amy is back at home. Can't say I blame him. Teagan took a few steps while they were here and decided to go back crawling. Then tonite she stood up on her own, laughed, and began walking, and I mean walking. She did this like 4 or 5 times, considered walking checked off her list, and went back to crawling. She is so stubborn and hilarious!
SO back to Isabel. We get the whole clan, Michael, Nicolas, Isabel, and Susan her for a visit at the end of July! We are so excited. It will be a short visit, for they have many stops, our cousin in LA, and then her dad's home in CA. It happens to fall on Caden's first day of Kindersteps, but we will work it out I'm sure. I can't wait for Michael to see a dirt devil. He laughs at me because they freak me out. They are mini tornados darn it! Plus they are doing the train ride to the Grand Canyon. Should be a great visit.
Our week isn't too busy. Mike is out of town, Newport, Wed-Sat though. Caden has practice Monday nite, school Tues and Thurs. I'm hoping my hair dresser can fit me in for a major touch up. Roots are out of control. I have Movie Night with the girls Tuesday night. So looking forward to it, since I haven't been able to go since January! Thought I was missing this one too b/c of Mike's trip.
I have officially been off of Tylenol PM for 3 nights now and sleeping pretty good, and no sign of getting sick in the middle of the night. And the headaches since I stopped taking it aren't so severe.. a contribution to dehydration most likely. This week, trying to work water back into my diet. Baby steps baby steps.
