Something very exciting for me.

So yesterday I did something really exciting for myself. I dug my car and my driveway out of 2 foot of snow. How in the world is that exciting you ask? Well for the first time in many years I actually started and finished the job without getting winded and having to stop several times. My back didn't hurt and today I am actually not sore. It was great exercise and I definately burned alot of calories. Now don't get me wrong. I in no way want this much snow ever again however I am proud of myself that I was able to shovel myself out. Ok so I had help of my husband and youngest son but still I did alot of shoveling myself.

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday.

Congratulations to you! I am just 4 days post-op, but these are the types of moments I am most looking forward to. Lately, I feel helpless to do some things. For example, getting the fitted sheets on my kids' beds (the beds are up against a corner) and I've ended up in tears because it is too hard for me to get them on. My husband has no problem doing it, but I hate feeling like I can't do it myself. It has also become the norm around here that I don't help w/anything physical. I would be very proud as well to be by my family's side to dig out the snow. :->
