Update on Mike

 Just an update 


I can't tell you all how much your thoughts and well wishes mean to me...I've relayed them to Mike too and he sends thanx 

I'm afraid I'm going to get burnout 

Yesterday I was up at 5 and off to work, then stop at the grocery store and also to get a prescription on the way home, and his work to pick up a time sheet so he can get his last hours in for pay, the home quickly to check on him (Cody had been with him till he went to work at 1) and put some potatoes and carrots in the crock pot with the roast I had put on in the morning, put the groceries away and then back to town to pick up a son at school and take him to work, Mike's work again to drop off his work phone and his time sheet, then home again where his sister and nephew were waiting for me. She was just leaving but he had come to help with hay since both boys were working. So after we got a wagon load and dropped off the big round bales I made it into the house to eat at 7. I dished up supper for Mike and the little kids and then out the door again at 7:45 to do chores down the road. The little ones came to help with water and we made it back here at 8:30. I was pooped and somewhere along the way I pulled a hamstring or something, as now I can hardly walk!!!  I couldn't even sleep in bed last nite and after two hours of crying from the stress and now my freakin' leg and trying to find a comfy spot I ended up downstairs with Mike..him on the couch and me in the lazy boy chair!

I phoned in sick for today as I have sooooooooo much to do here as we are making room in the living room for a craftmatic bed that his mom is sending over (she didn't like it), plus I have to drive to the city to sign papers for our very last mortgage renewel (WOOT, WOOT we are done the mortgage on the farm down the road on the 30 of this month, and will be done the mortgage on this farm in 5 years....a bright spot in my week for sure!!!) I can only get up for about 20 minutes at a time before my leg aches so bad and this morning I barely made it thru dishes before I felt all hot and felt like I was going to throw up 

I feel so bad complaining because after all it's Mike laying there on the couch with a broken neck not me....and I know it's got to get better I just have to get over these first few hurdles.
