The Best Laid Plans

Posted in Journal Page

So I've been out of touch for a little while.  Nearly two weeks ago, as I was carrying a basket of laundry down the stairs, I slipped and fell, fracturing three vertebrae in the lumber area of my spine.   Needless to say, I've been laid up.

The first week I laid on the couch most of the day, taking pain medication around the clock.  This second week seems to get better everyday, and although I'm still careful not to bend or lift anything and to rest when I feel tired, I'm finally walking around and able to do somethings.

For all the moms out there, you can only imagine the amount of work that is awaiting a mom of five little ones.   Paperwork is piling up almost as rapidly as the laundry.   The fridge is crying to be emptied and wiped out.  That bathroom is longing for some Comet and a bit of good, old-fashioned elbow grease.  And our projects are sitting in a box by the computer, collecting dust.

We still have many packets to mail out for our 50 States Project, Christmas cards to prepare (which will probably become New Years cards), pictures to take, gifts to make, a whole house to decorate...

It seems God's plan for this season was different than ours.

Oh No!!! I know how painful that is. I broke my 4th Thoracic vert. 3 years ago. I was in a brace for nearly 4 months unable to do anything. I will be praying for you. Take care of yourself. God bless and enjoy your Christmas season.
