I'm the queen of multitasking. Okay, maybe not the queen. But definitely a princess. In a cool Kate Middleton kind of way. Except I'm not as pretty as Kate. So I guess that makes me more like Beatrice and Eugenie (eeew... cold shiver)!
I live my life in complete and utter chaos. My house is a mess, I can't cook and I haven't ironed anything in 9 months. But I do juggle my own business, I'm a full-time mom and I have 2 dogs (one of which is an arthritic basset hound which is more work than a kid any day). So quite frankly, clutter isn't too high on my priority list.
But the balls came crashing down this week. C-R-A-S-H-I-N-G down. It seems that I developed a juggling injury - my lower back went into spasm in a way that I never thought possible. I couldn't walk. I couldn't get out of bed. I couldn't eat (okay I could, but for once I didn't feel like it). And I even needed help going to the bathroom. For the princess of multitasking, it was a serious wakeup call. If I'd known this was a possible career side effect, I might not have been quite so ambitious.
Here's proof of my injury. Thank God for acupuncture. And yes, that's my fat ass. And yes, that is the sound of me screaming. And yes, it sucked. It sucked big time. But hopefully my ass has shrunk. Both from the needles and from my lack of eating. Because I'm going on vacation next week and I don't think any of my bikinis fit anymore. See, I'm trying to look at the bright side. At the end of the day I still have my amazing husband and incredible son. And pain meds. Man, I love my pain meds!
