A View to An Uzz

Ouch!

I strained my lower back muscles at IKEA the other day and I have spent the rest of my time alternating between work and laying on my back!! The pain is pretty bad, but I am trying Aleve and a heating pad to get me back up and on my feet without feeling 102 years old. Any ideas out there?? Home remedies?? I am up for just about anything!!!

SPF: Hero

Yeah...I am back...I need some other ideas to blog about:-) Thankfully, the great Kristine at Random and Odd has a new SPF...Hero...so here we go...(remember...click on image for a larger file)

First off...its obvious...my son...the great Mini-Uzz who is requesting a new name since he is no longer mini! He inspires me every day to keep moving on and all he has to do is exist. He is smart, funny, goofy, nerdy and he has pure heart...despite the fact he can be a little sneaky. I have said it before and will always say it...I thank God for allowing me the privilege of helping raise him:-)
I have plenty of heroes, but two stand out in my life that a lot of you may not know about. They are two of the best friends that I have ever known and my love and caring for them knows no end. R & M were there for me in my blackest moment and have never allowed me to go back to that hell. R (picture by M.) is probably the smartest person I have ever known, but its his gift of clear thoughtful answers and honest caring about my well-being that make him a hero to me...and M. (who is also brilliant) is possibly the sweetest and most genuine person you could ever have the pleasure to meet. As a mother, she is one of the best...as a person, she is even better:-)

They helped me through my divorce, my depression, my anxiety and did it in the best way possible...by not letting me wallow for long. They always let me know when they are proud of me and when I need a moral boost...their opinion means everything to me. Their children are like my own and I rest assured that they will always be there for me...plus their guest bed is like a linen version of Tylenol PM. They are my family and I thank God for having them in my corner!!!

Did you play???
