Wow am I in pain<holiday mentioned>

[Guest guest]

I got up at 7:15 to take my meds, then stupidly went back to sleep. Then up at 9:15, washed hair but no time to bathe or shower. Left our house by 9:40. Picked the girls up at 10:00 or 10:05, then we were off to my MIL's. There from 10:30 until 2 pm, eating and opening gifts. Home by 2:15pm, opened our presents from eachother and Santa. I cooked 2 pies, 2 casserole and 5 lbs of mashed potatoes, loaded up more gifts and went to my sisters. Ate and opened presents. We were supposed to stay and play some games but by then it was 8 pm and I had to get home to take some meds before I died from the pain. Got home, changed clothes, put away all the days gifts, took meds and am ready to die.

The girls got way too many gifts yet again. They had 1 gift exchange at their dad's house and 3 here. The girls got jewelry, clothes, craft sets, paint sets, and toys... Hubby was pleased with his tools, shirts, watch, jeans, 27" TV and lumber. I got jewelry, jams, slippers, shelf stereo, a few warm sweaters, a pair of yoga pants, a wall clock, 5 game thing that plugs into the TV and several angel figurines.

The only problem with the day was of course, the 11 hours of running that we did. I am hurting immensely now, to put it mildly....lol Tomorrow, I will probably lie down most of the day. Already taken 1 Kadian, and 2 loratabs, they haven't touched my pain :-( Levels are high and I am dreaming of a hot tub to drown myself in.

I shouldn't eat another bite but am thinking about that pumpkin pie upstairs...LOL

Hope everyone found a bit of peace and happiness today. Even if it was just the peace of a warm bed or comfortable chair.

Hi Alenna,

I hear you about the pain. I hope you have a quiet day of recuperation today and feel better. My parents came over for dinner for Christmas. My Dad smoked a turkey, so that was one less thing for me to do. Bear in mind that I normally don't even have the strength to cook, but from somewhere I managed to pull together the strength to make three pies, homemade baked macaroni and cheese, two kinds of peas, yams, two loaves of homemade bread, iced tea hmmm think that was it. Needless to say, after Mom and Dad left, I crashed due to exhaustion and pain. It was worth every minute of it though and I'd do it again if given the choice. This was the first year that I did the major cooking and they came to my house.

Hard to believe but we actually had sleet and snow down here on the southeast Louisiana coast. So, for once, we had a little bit of a white Christmas. Made things just perfect. I was glad that I didn't get out in it and as able to stay in my warm cozy home. I made Mom and Dad call as soon as they made it home. They live just across town, but with the icy roads I was a bit worried about them.

hugs,

Sundra
