the foot update

hello,
so i think it is about time i post this.  i went for a check up on my foot, and he told me 4 weeks.  i cried.  i was soooooo stinking exhausted from not sleeping well, from being in-active, and from life i think.  i was kinda on planning on get back to life around that point, and when he rudely told me 4 weeks it was a bit more then i could really handle at that point.  he then proceeded to kinda yell at me for asking questions and being upset that he just told me 4 more weeks.  i left the appointment devastated and kinda in shock for being treated so poorly.  if i wasnt in shock with that 4 more weeks- he would have gotten a piece of my mind for talking to me like that.  anyway- we decided to get a second opinion.  called my Dr, he had a someone do a consult, and they both came to the conclusion that my 4th metatarsal is NOT broken, and my 5th one is just chipped.
ummm, what?
seriously?
i am sooooooo upset with this GREAT news.  he proceeds to tell me in need to get off my crutches asap.  ok!  no worries there!
i later go in for a check up on my foot, and well, i was then told that i could probably loose the boot.  my foot is still SUPER tender, and i am SO SWOLLEN from the sprain, that i think that is what is causing me the most discomfort.  my foot/ankle is so stiff right now its absolutely nuts!  so now i am trying to deal with that by stretching it and using it.  I WILL NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!!!!! because, I CAN WALK!!!  i can function!  i can be a mom, and a wife and contributing member of my house!!!!
i am a much happier person.  =)
i <3 vacuuming.  and even doing he laundry!  =)
anyway.  now i struggle with being gimpy (tender foot) and trying to get totally caught up and do everything that i want/need/should/could do.  not possible.  4 kids, at least a week behind on a few, a couple, most, well crap, everything, re-disciplining (every ones favorite), and then just being a present mom.  i know i need to slow down, and relax and enjoy this time.  i know i was supposed to get better at that while i was not allowed to do things, and i think i did.  during the day when the kids are up i have no problems playing with them, snuggling with them, feeding them, changing them, and being a 'good mom' that way.  but at night when i am sitting there exhausted not being able to do anything- that stupid mental 'to do' list starts up.  grr.

oh well.  i am slowly getting things marked off that list.  i really need to enjoy this, because it goes by so fast.  i mean look at how big this baby is!  isnt that the funniest face!  i laugh each time he looks at me like that.  which is fairly often.  he LOVES to look around, and that is what he looks like when he is looking around.  he is 3 months old today.  how crazy is that?  its like he has always been here.  and beware- he is such a sweet talker.  and the smile he gives you during your conversation, will melt your heart.  he is so sweet.

haha- you see the expression on z's face?  well, monkey is constantly patting his head, and then giving him loves.  very scary sweet.  i love it.  i am glad that love hasnt worn off with the 'newness' of the baby ya know?
anyway-
there you are.  updated on our life.  lots yet not lots happening.  but we are all much happier with my life continuing.
