Whimper

This post is hard to write.....mainly because I am in so much pain. It seems I have strained a muscle in my groin.

According to WebMD:
"Groin pulls are common in people who play sports that require a lot of running and jumping. In particular, suddenly jumping or changing direction is a likely cause. Groin pulls often appear in people who play soccer and football, and they make up about 10% of all injuries in professional hockey players."

Clearly it is my excessive exercise regime that have caused this injury. Okay actually I slipped while getting in the car this morning. The pain has gotten worse during the day and now I can't move without swearing loudly.

When I'm in pain I tend to get slightly hysterical.  Chad decided it would be funny to record me as I tried to put my feet up on the couch and he just played it back to me.  You will note that I have not included the recording here...mainly because people who see it might think that I'm being a bit of a drama queen......and they would be right. It's a damn funny video.

So now it's 7:30 and I'm in bed all sad and whimpering with deep heat on my leg that is dangerously close to seeping into places that could cause me horrendous discomfort.

I'm a lot of things but brave is not one of them.

Everyone is growing up

 Turning 50 is a weird milestone - I dont feel 50, and I dont really put a lot of weight behind milestone numbers. But I do like reflecting on life, and I feel I have grown, learnt from many of my mistakes, and lived a pretty great life. The biggest change is watching just how much Grace has grown this year. Today I washed some of her baby clothes that I found so I can store them and it took me right back to when my whole clothes line had tiny little outfits on it. This year, she everything has changed and I am in so much grief for the loss of some of the old routines, it hurts!!  She is still my little button and I see that side of her when she is unsure or overwhelmed. I need to manage my patience through these growing phases, as my sister said "give her space and grace". She is the kindest, funniest and sweetest girl and I love her so much that it honestly hurts. I hope she knows that. She seems to have all my worst moments front of mind that I wonder at times if she sees ...

Picture of an 11 year olds desk

Grace has her desk in the family room, mainly due to space in her room but also to help her not lock herself away. She just finished tidying it and I love how it represents where she is at. Lots of art, Lego still displayed proudly, pillow on chair covering her phone ( she is still adhering to the no phone in her room rule, yay!), pottery on display. A beautiful blend of child and teenager!
