I found my long lost houndstooth paper today. {along with a couple other papers} I have been missing it since we moved.
I bought it in Oct of 2009...then we moved in November, and I don't know why, but it has drove me crazy not knowing where it was, and not being able to find it! But I found it today...I can't even tell you how inspiring it is! Maybe because it matches stuff that I bought at the expo last year...I tell ya, when something gets stuck in my head, it really gets to me! Sure I've made stuff since then...but I have been dying to use this stuff since I bought it...but I couldn't because I wanted my paper too! Okay rambling on...can't wait to start scrapbooking pages again! I don't think I'm making any sense? Any way, I found my missing paper sandwiched in between scrapbook paper from my store! Which I did start to take everything out and set it up in the basement...so I can sell it all. I want it gone. I have come to realize that I am okay if I never have a store again. Of course I would like too, but for now, I would rather have all of my inventory gone, displays and such too. That way I can get more of what we need in our food storage, like diapers, wipes, toilet paper, personal hygiene stuff etc...we have a lot of food, but we could always use more, but we need to get these items as well.
Also...I've been going to the chiropractor regularly. Actually for about a month now...I think. Time flies. Any way...I have never been to a chiropractor until just recently...and I had no choice but to go, because I literally could hardly walk, it has gotten so bad. It's my tail bone, but for the past 6-7 months or so, I've had problems with my left leg/hip...I've never really known how to explain myself! But basically it gives out...and I have almost fallen lots of times, too many to count. Sometimes even while holding Anthony. Luckily, I've never fallen completely, I've always caught myself against the wall, or counter, car...whatever happens to be there. Levi says I need one of those 'life alert' buttons. Actually that would have been helpful, on several occasions. It's been very frustrating. Not being able to walk normal. Not being able to go places by myself with my kids. I have, but since the last time I've gone out, I realized that it's not smart...unless I have Levi or someone with me. So I will either go by myself, or only take one kid. Only because I can't bear weight on both my legs evenly, I can't chase after Isa, I can't hold the heavy carseat, and grab a hold of my girls' hands while walking into a store! So I went to the chiropractor and he took x rays and looked for sublaxations and such... and wow, I have all sorts of problems! Isn't that what happens when you see a doctor? They tell you everything that is wrong with you! So my right leg is shorter than my left {I think, I forgot already, it could be the other way around} and I put more weight on my right because of my left leg/hip...he said it must be from an injury, possibly when I crashed on my dirt bike...years ago. My neck is out and curved wrong...{again probably from the dirt bike} he says he sees that in patients from car accidents involving whiplash. My sacrum is tilted and is off so much...probably from having kids, hmmm what else. Oh yeah...my jaw, doesn't shut like a normal person, it shifts several times before it actually closes! Wow, who knew! So I am on a schedule of regular weekly visits, 3 times a week for a month, then two times a week and then one time a week. So hopefully by May, I should be better? Well improving anyway. And I've been so good at going at working out...up until 3 weeks ago, when he said I had to hold off for about a week, which secretly that night I went to work out anyway, because I'm stubborn. And then about killed my back! I did stop. Then that next week we got sick. Then I worked out a couple times and we got sick again...now we are back to getting better. It has been very discouraging though...I remember the first adjustment he did. I was anticipating too much, I knew it was going to hurt...I said 'mother fuuuuuudge' no I didn't swear, I really just said fudge, you know like on the Christmas Story! The chiropractor thought it was funny. I did say a few other swear words though, I couldn't help it! Now I'm getting used to it...but I still hate the 'drops' that he has to do...freaks me out, and it kills my leg, but whatever it takes to make me walk normal! He says I have a weak muscle and so the nerve is shooting pain and making my leg give out. It's a nuisance, please make it stop!
But that's about all I've been up to lately...just trying to get my family over this sickness crap, the usual chores that make my life feel like the movie Groundhog Day, and not staying caught up on my 365 photo blog...maybe tomorrow??
