I am up insanely early because of F amily Promise "hosting" last night. Their sleeping cot got my back into a spasm on the left side - very unusual and I am in pain. I can limp around but the sitting or getting up or trying to lean over goes all through me. When I got up in the night and this morning, I couldn't put weight on my left leg.
I'm drinking my breakfast smoothie and just took ibuprofen.
DD and I were up at 5 this a.m. One of the families has a car and they were up and left at 5:30 - this family has a very motivated mom and two teens. I can't imagine what it must be like as a teen to be in this program and going to high school. The other family - a dad and two little ones got themselves up but the dad pretty much sat there this a.m. and let dd feed the two little ones. I had to tell them when the bus had arrived - he didn't get up to check even tho he knew it was time. I was shocked by the amount of sweets there. It's probably no more than other times, but my consciousness has been raised by my WOE and by LadyM.
I'd like to go back to bed and I think I will. Slept poorly, obviously, and maybe the ibuprofen will have time to work on all those pain receptors. Need do so stretches also but not sure I can get on the floor and get up.
