I have a pinched nerve in my shoulder! It had been bothering me for months and finally started feeling better. Then one day last week at the grocery store, I turned to take the buggy back and must have twisted just right! I don't like going to the doctor, so I am just treating it with over the counter pain medication. It hurts the most when I drive. This morning after dropping off Alex and Aaron at school the thought crossed my mind "boy, I'm glad the kids aren't babies anymore because I wouldn't be able to reach them!". I started thinking about just how much I have done, while driving, with one arm completely behind me. They say how dangerous texting and driving is. Well, they never saw me tending to my kids either!! **knee on the steering wheel, twisted completely around looking for something** Scary thought!! I can't tell you how many bottles I have held with my arm cranked behind me, how many lost pacifiers I've had to dig for, how many hands I have held, legs I have patted to calm them down, heads I have rubbed to try and get them asleep, shoes I have taken off; the number of tissues I have passed back could win some sort of award! Heck, I have even crawled back (of course, I wasn't driving) to test Ethan's blood when he was too small to do it himself. But, when you hear the words "I feel low"...you move!!!
I miss those days! I love the young woman and men they are becoming, but sure miss those days when they relied on me for everything. Momma was right, time sure flies!!
