Mother's Day

 Happy First (Real) Mother's Day to me!!!! last year i considered myself a mother, since i was about ready to pop! but this year was the first time i got to celebrate it with my little boy and my hubby! on Saturday Caleb and Connor snuck out to the store and bought my chocolate and flowers and surprised me with them! i had thought they just went out to the mailbox, but i was wrong. it was soooo sweet! i also got sweet cards from family in Idaho, and a cute book called "why i son needs a mother" from Caleb's mom. i had a great morning and was feeling very loved, but then for some reason, i decided i needed to give myself my own mother's day gift. and what was that gift??? oh, just a concussion. smart move, huh? NOT!

As we were getting into the car to head to church, i clumsily slammed my head into the door frame of the car, and was in quite a bit of pain. i had a nice goose egg all through church, and developed a bad headache, and was feeling dizzy and weak, and to be honest, a bit nauseous! :( i ended up leaving church early, since Connor has been teething horribly and was unhappy, and with the misery i was already feeling, i just couldn't bring myself to stay the rest of it. The goose egg ended up going down, and a bruise developed instead. i went to bed feeling a bit better, but didn't sleep well at all. Connor woke me up very early the next day, and things all went downhill as the morning progressed. After looking up concussion symptoms, i came to the conclusion that i was pretty darn sure i had one, and as long as i didn't do much and just relaxed i didn't feel quite so miserable! Today has been the same, and i'm just hoping it gets better soon! and also i'm hoping that no one i run into thinks my poor hubby punched me!!! that would make me so sad, cuz it really is my own stinking clumsiness that gets me in these situations! even though i'm not enjoying this at all, it does make a funny story. hopefully next year i don't try and repeat it!!!!
