I now know why I have constant back pain.

I never sit down.

I get up at 6:30 (7, if I'm lucky) and am constantly doing something, but I rarely stop and just take the load of my feet and back. The result: constantly taxed muscles that don't get a chance to rest. That's what I realized when I got back from Las Vegas, during which time, the pain went away. Now, it's back.

I am trying to write as one son is downstairs, taking a nap, and the other is running around in circles in the family room, saying, "Mama, mama ah-doing? Mama, look!" This, after I set up a water play set on the deck, and both boys played out there for ...phone.

I never get to sit down.
