Today is more Rumblings than Ramblings!!!

Rumblings, Grumblings, whatever!!! This weekend was really a good weekend with a bummer ending. My mom and I went shopping Saturday morning and I finally got some nice clothes for me. I never shop for myself but I decided it was time. I am very happy to say I was blessed and found what I wanted at reasonable prices. Everything I bought was on sale. I am blessed!!! Than Saturday afternoon, James and I went to our friends, K & M's house, to fell some trees to get ready for Sunday's activities. Sunday we went to church and than Sunday afternoon we got together with our small group and our friends, K & M, and we split, stacked and hauled wood for a family that is in need. The day was awesome. We had a lot of fun and fellowship as we worked. James back had been bothering him all week and it just happened that toward the end of the day he picked up a branch in one hand and had the chainsaw in the other and when he turned to throw the branch out of his way....Bam!! His back went out. I guess he about hit the ground but being the He man that he is he didn't quit and take it easy. Nooooooooo my man had to keep going and tough it out. Well actually he finally agreed to quit sawing and just run the splitter. So that was better but a little too late! When we were done he was walking kind of like a bent old man. Instead of coming home and taking it easy we decided to go to Wendy's for a bite with our friends. Everything was fine until we went to leave. He made it almost out the door when down he went. Something pinched and he had a hard time walking. Fact is he couldn't get back up he had to crawl forward and then R & A helped him up while I got the van and drove it over by him. We took B home to his mom's and dropped a now sleeping J off at home where his big brother, Levi, could watch him while we made a late trip to the ER. They took x-rays and gave him a shot of good pain killers and we were able to walk out of there and get some prescriptions filled and come home. That pain med really worked for him. Than today I made him stay home from work and take it easy. We also went to the Chiropractor to get him some help. He goes back on Wednesday and isn't to lift more than 20 pounds all week. Dr. even gave him a note for light duty at work. He has been moping around here all day as he is a very physical, stay busy kind of guy!! So that was our weekend!! Hopefully, this week will go better. Please pray for him to heal and also please pray that I find another little one to watch. See ya later!!
