Overdoing it!

INSERT IMAGE HERE

I am too tired tonight to make a picture so enjoy my pretty colors lol.  It was a long hard weekend and I felt every bit of it today when I had to get up early and trudge off to aqua therapy.  I normally look forward to it because the weightlessness is a wonderful feeling on my muscles and joints.  Today I just wanted to keep sleeping and avoid the inevitable pain of getting up and moving around.  Most days I get out of bed quickly because it hurts to lay there, but today it felt wonderful.  So of course, today I had to get up.

The therapist asked for my pain level.  I SO loathe this question. It's always just some guess and made up number.  I reserve 10 for childbirth and beyond.  I've been through a lot of pain in my life and my 4 might be your 7 so I never know what to say.  Anyhoo she wanted to know what I did this weekend that had me hurting so badly today.  I watched her face as I told her and then let it sink in all that I had done and she didn't even have to scold me.  I KNEW I had overdone it, I know that this is one reason I cannot stop being in pain, because I rarely get to STOP.  It's day after day of on my feet and on the go, but working at the produce stand brings about a special kind of pain.  I will pay for this for at least a week.  I couldn't fight the fatigue today and had to take a nap.  There are a million things to be done since I wasn't here all weekend to do it.  I can't stand looking at the mess but I hurt too bad and am just too tired to do it. 

I found a sort of second wind and knocked a few things out but this roller coaster I've been on lately has left me hopelessly behind.  The kids are helping out but it's not enough.  I seriously need a clone.  Money can't buy you happiness but it could buy me a housecleaning service that would let me get a little rest and a little less backbreaking work for sure.  Sorry to be whiny today, I allow myself a day like that once or twice a month so today is my day...
