YESTERDAY at OUR HOUSE

Saturday, May 28, 2011
            Yesterday afternoon some of the kids were over for dinner. Niki and Alexa and Gavin and Sierra went swimming. I got my swim suit on but Corey called. He said that Stacey was running late getting off work and would I get Jayden and Bailey after school.
            When Stacey got home she changed clothes and the four of us came over in my van. That way they wouldn’t have two cars here. Corey came straight from his office.
            Jim of course was here.
            Corey and I (mostly Corey) grilled steaks and chicken while Judy and Jim and whoever prepared everything else.
            Greg showed up in time to eat.
            For a while, Bailey, Alexa, Gavin and I danced to my oldies played through my I-pod player. I taught Alexa how to use the remote to fast forward and return to previously played tunes, so we were in a constant turmoil of back and forth. Gavin wanted to use the remote but Alexa wouldn’t relinquish it and Gavie was constantly trying to get me to get it for him. I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. After the girls were tired of dancing, Gavin got his turn and was appeased.
            Sierra kept trying to get hold of her boyfriend Mark. He never responded. Finally, shortly before leaving our house Sierra learned that Mark had been in the emergency room with a migraine. It sounds like a double wammy to me. Sierra getting regular migraines and now Mark; if they get married their kids will get the tendency from both sides.
            We have enough migraines in our family; my mother, me, Chris and Niki, now Sierra and Molly. Yikes!
            Chris is/was in Brazil.

OH, MY ACHING BACK

Saturday, May 28, 2011
            I have been walking with a little running mixed in it since Tuesday omitting yesterday. This morning I no sooner walked out the door than my lower back tightened up and got sore. Soon one calf then the other got sore. So, I just walked for thirty-seven minutes not too fast and with no running involved.
            I came home and took a muscle relaxant and half a pain pill but they leave me tired/groggy.
