Slept in this morning...

and it was OH SO GOOD! Mike snuggled up to my back after the alarm went off for the third time and I said I had to get up and he told me I could wait a few more minutes... he was right... *sigh*

I'm going to do the "boot-camp" class, which has been guaranteed to kick my butt, at noon... my understanding is that it is comparable to actually being in boot camp but only for an hour at a time (rather than 24x7) which sounds really scary to me.

My worry today is that I seem to have developed a stress injury in my right wrist and forearm. I've never had tendonitis, but a couple of folks who have are telling me that it could very well be tendonitis. Basically I have a dull achey tenderness that runs from my right thum, up along the radius bone to about midway up the forearm where the tendon would cross over and connect on the inside edge of the bone. It hurts and it sucks cause it makes my right hand feel weak and I can't do pushups! I've prescribed myself single arm rest, ibuprofen and alternating ice and heat tonight... if it isn't better by monday I'll head to the pysician and see if I'm developing the real deal. Joy!

There is some happy news tho. My inlaws arrive for a week of visiting tonight, and my Friend Laura is comming down from the Seattle area for a visit tomorrow. Next week is spring break so the kids will get to play in the sun for a week, and Val's teacher called me up the other day to tell me how wonderfully he is doing in school these days. Nate is talking up a storm (and voicing an opinion about everything from diaper changes to what there is to eat to bed time routines... usually via screaming)... and we might be able to afford to put in the front patio we want this summer!!! HOORAY!

Its a sunny day, moods are high... I'll update after the pain!
