I feel like an old woman...

Literally, I feel like I'm 90!! It's horrible! Late last week, I threw my back out. I was running in the house with Caleb in my arms and my foot slipped off the step. I nearly fell to the ground from jerking so suddenly, and ever since then I feel like I could burst into tears when I bend over to lift one of the kids. UUUUUUGH! I think I need to head to Target and buy a heating pad. Such a grandma thing to own! LOL.

This morning we met my friend Lisa and her two two step-sons-to-be at the Science Center. As soon as we got there, they had this fire and ice chemistry demonstration. Katherine, Caleb and I sat on the ground level because of the stroller, and this little loud mouth girl (without parents, I might add) comes and sits next to Katherine. She's yelling at the girl doing the demonstration, and everyone in the crowd is laughing and snickering at her. At one point, she's yelling how her mom told her glass was a liquid... Great! I'm sure everyone thought I was her mom! LOL. Katherine finally had to tell her to be quiet (This girl was probably about 8 or 9, so much older than Katherine). Poor Katherine didn't know what else to say, so finally she looks at this girl in frustration and says, "no shirt, no shoes, no service". Not sure what she was trying to accomplish, but that didn't do the trick because, on the way out, the girl decides that she's hungry, and asks me to buy her lunch. Where in the world are your parents???

Val -- just watching this demonstration brought me back to high school chemistry, and all the trouble we got into as lab partners. Thanks for carrying me the whole year! LOL. I was also thinking how wonderful it is to have great friends that you've known all your life. Your one of these special people, and I just wanted you to know how wonderful it is to have friends with who you share so much history. Just thinking how long we've been friends also makes me feel really old! Over two decades. OMG!!! I can't wait until you move back! I'm soooo excited!
