Eep. I hate injections.
Took the day off from biking. I’d gotten so used to working out every single day that it’s hard for me to remember that it might have been (probably was?) a contributing factor to the injury, whatever it is. Days off are not the enemy; rest days […]

I’ve got two doctor appointments today: one in the morning as a follow-up to the whole “free air” conundrum, and one with the orthopedist in the afternoon for my foot. In between and around them, we have to:
Get Gabe’s preschool forms signed (luckily by the same doctor as this morning’s appointment, so I can […]

We’re back! I’ve posted a bunch of pictures from the trip, starting here. It’s not all, since some are on my phone and some are on a waterproof disposable camera I got to use at the waterpark, but it’s a start. Don’t miss all the lovely expressiveness of Gabe; what he […]

Gabe nearly punched Sam tonight and then angrily insisted he wasn’t leaving the hotel with us…because Sam folded a map incorrectly. Seriously. And Eric, while trying to mediate, murmured that it would have bothered him, too.
I told Sam that we were living with crazy folk. He just kept saying, […]

This will be our last full day here in the Dells, and although we’re feeling the end-of-vacation let-down, there’s still some frustration in coming up with what to do. Gabe is opposed to hanging out in the waterpark, where Sam would love to be. Neither boy can handle doing anything remotely frightening, and […]

Okay, some of the stress returned yesterday. We never do learn our lesson, but you’d think we’d make some headway toward figuring it out: every time we try to add in some structured event to the vacation, we run the risk of the boys standing in opposition, whether intentionally or just by being themselves.
Yesterday […]

Oh, Alysia, this would crack you up. We’re at the Great Wolf Lodge, and Eric’s polite chat with the desk clerk netted us an unasked-for, completely free upgrade from a regular room into a King Suite. We have our own room, and the kids sleep in theirs! Can’t wait to do Wiley’s […]

Heading out to the Dells this morning. Truthfully, this is probably the most stressful trip I’ve ever taken in my life. Gabe is being SO VERY THREE, which entails throwing tantrums at random moments and a complete inability to tolerate any form of silence or tranquility. The cave visit yesterday? I […]

We’re in Madison! Walked around downtown quite a bit yesterday - or perhaps it just felt like that because of the crutches. I now have huge blisters on both my palms. I’m not sure which appeals less to me: using the crutches again today, or hobbling on the sore foot. […]

So, going through everything I can find, I’m almost positive that I’ve got peroneal tendinitis. Last night I had Eric help massage my foot and ankle, and there it was: pain in my ankle, just above and behind the ankle bone. The tendon in question runs from there around the outside and underside […]
