Needing a change
Posted on | September 11, 2012 | 4 Comments
I'm feeling a bit lost for words as of late. Life is precious and wonderful yet complicated at the same time with busy work schedules, rare family time, low energy, & teething. Aggravating all of this is a back injury I sustained at work two weeks ago during a rather intense and downright wacky delivery (please mammas - don't use your caregivers as your personal jungle gym while giving birth unless invited). I'm having to watch my every move, limit my time picking up Hazel (which I hate!), and am the source of gossip between a select few on my unit. High school never ends, I suppose.
Our four year anniversary is September 13th, and we're hoping to go to the mountains or ocean to celebrate. I'm craving nature and time with my family so much, and this is coming just in time.
What do you to help heal in times of injury, or revitalize in times of low energy? I'd love suggestions!

I don't have any good advice--as I find it hard to give myself the space and rest I need at times... But I wanted to say an early happy anniversary. Our 9th is on Sept 13! :)
Hope your back heals quickly!

April that sucks about your back, I know firsthand how much a hurt back affects your entire body.
I always try to take time during Connor's nap for me-time. Doing a simple craft, baking or writing helps me.

April,
Happy Anniversary you guys!
We adore your family.
I've hurt my back a few times and couldn't carry Bracken as much. I know how frustrating that can be.
All I can say is that it will get easier. Exhaustion comes with being a mama, huh? In the meantime, rest as much as you need to. :) And know you are loved!!
Big hugs,
Taryn
