horizontal day 5...meet the parole board

last week 
i was handed this
and i accepted my fate
with little to no apprehension
the past week i've 
laid around,
read some books,
watched some tv
caught up on shreddingf
and 
for the most part
not broke the 1-2 hour rule 
that the docs set in front of me
today
i had a meeting with 
the parole board
aka the docs
i did my hair 
put on some makeup
even shaved my legs
and for anyone who's been pregnant 
you know shaving your legs in the third trimester 
is nothing less than impressive!
hoping to receive
  and i did!!!!!!
sorta
the doc said i could go back to work
but with restrictions
i had to continue to 
'take it easy'
so that marathon i was planning on running
yep not going to happen
seriously you think i wanna run a marathon?!?
no heavy lifting
no vigorous walking
no heavy cleaning
and 
i get to see their smiling faces
twice a week
to continue to monitor
i was elated!!! 
i went to the school 
told the kiddos
who greeted me with a surprise
and
       get well/take care cards!!!
love those kiddos!!!!
so monday i will go back to work
woohoo!!!
and 
take it a week at a time!
and take it easy as well!

horizontal...day 4

day four
let me tell you this being on bedrest
as modified as it is
is for the dogs
they seem to be doing better at resting than me
so what have i done
in day 2
and in day 3
to keep me busy
i know you are dying to know
because it is oh so exciting!
remember in 
i mentioned my hour or two of freedom was to be spent at a bible study?
well that didn't happen
maik decided i was better off in bed
and as i was leaning over 
to put on my boot
he jumped on the bed
and 
wham!
i am now modeling cover girl's new spring color
"lights out"
i am not a fan of the color 
please don't invest in it
so that brings us to day two
and 
i decide to spend my hour
grocery shopping
yep, exciting i know!!!
day three
this is the good stuff folks
i tackle my mountain of shredding

that i have put off for about a year now
the problem was i kept blowing fuses
another great thing about living oconus
and i am too cheap to buy a 220 shredder
but
alas
the shredding is done!!!
woohoo!!!!
i feel so accomplished
today
day 4
i am breaking free!
for an hour or two
promise
and having lunch with a dear friend
and a really smart one year old little girl
however, 
i may forget my watch!
