Tendinitis

Well... my tendinitis seems to have returned. A few months ago, it was in my wrist and my knee. Now, it is back in my wrist, worse than ever. I really hope I can releave my pain as quickly as I did before; wrapping my wrist and icing here and there. UGH!
Typing on a keyboard with my wrist wrapped is not easy. LOL
(Oh... maybe I shouldn't be on the computer so much! Hee-hee!!)

Summer is coming to an end. We went to the Oregon State fair yesterday with some new friends of ours. Sean works with the guy, and I am really enjoying getting to know his wife. They are new parents, so I got to enjoy some baby snuggles as we toured the fair.
Our kids did a rock climbing wall and enjoyed several of the carnival games. We don't really allow them to ride rides anymore. The safety of the rides became a huge issue a few years ago, and we just don't. They can if they choose, but they don't mind not... so we don't.
We enjoyed our annual Funnelcake and Yaksoba noodles, as the evening ended. YUM!!
Of course, we toured the animal barns and misc. sales stands. It is always a good family time way to spend the last day or two of summer, and get prepped for 'back to school'.

I will be working tomorrow, but I got to take Tuesday off or work instead of Wed. So I can take the two younger kiddos to school on the first day. All the clothes and bought and the supplies are in the backpacks. I need to make some coffee cake for breakfast; and everything will be ready to go. :)

I enjoy the process of getting everything ready. It's so simliar to prepping for the holidays, for me. I plan out what hair-do Meghan will get, the special lunch pail notes, etc. I love being a mom and I am glad that my kids still enjoy the silly things I do for them. (Even if secretly admitting it to me, when their friends aren't around and listening)

Oh my!! I just remembered. I need to write out a new letter to each of my kids. I have these letters in their baby books. I used to write to them more when they were babies. Now I try to do it atleast every year or two. I sit quietly and think about my thoughts, things I am proud of, our relationship (good and struggled), etc. I plan to give it to them when they turn 18. My mom did a letter to me when I graduated high school. It wasn't from birth, but some things she thought of at that time from over the years. It was a silly thing at the time, but I kept it. I cherish the love in that letter now.

Well... off to play Pogo! (If you don't pogo and are curious, shoot me an email... I will send you a link) (Oh, it's computer games from cards to board games to bingo, etc.)
