Been there and still have days like that with my slightly bad back. It flairs up at least once a year, but I go to a chiropractor for maintenance every two months.<br /><br />Reading is always great!! haha :-). When Mama is under the weather, it is wonderful that the kids can and will pitch in to help. Such a blessing.<br /><br />I love to work on projects, but I can so easily find myself sitting all day, having helped out with nothing. If I've been very productive, I don't have a problem taking a day off. Problem is, I could be completely lazy if I let myself. So for me, in order to get through those projects in a less "all-or-nothing" way, chipping away bit by bit, I have to put write it down. Somewhere. It might not get finished in a timely manner (or at all) if I don't. <br /><br />I will be adding two classes to my Spanish class rotation this fall. That means Mondays as well as my normal Wednesdays, Two classes each day, and one small group wants me to teach them Spanish 3. So, I have to prep to spread out over the summer, so I don't overwhelm myself in the fall. I have to bring in a little extra income to help us make ends meet some months, and to throw at paying off debt otherwise. We are on a pretty good track! Otherwise, I'd rather just cook, sew, bookbind, putter in the yard and watch the birds. :-)Javamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759860713807731832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988320.post-52035118211958847652010-06-27T12:32:47.874-05:002010-06-27T12:32:47.874-05:00i'm tired just reading your to-do list lol. ac...i'm tired just reading your to-do list lol. actually i'm in the recliner all day with heat/ice and my laptop. my back is killing me, and my neck too. i'm not sure what i did yesterday, but i'm taking it easy. oh ya, of course i'm reading :)<br />do some chores for me! mine will not be done today unless the 4 kids pitch in, we'll see.~Niki~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05479427401865206504noreply@blogger.com
