Oh the aching back

I'm not sure when I realized it, but for the past couple of years I've noticed that my spiritual/emotional status is directly related to how I'm feeling physically. If physically, I feel miserable, I find myself spiritually and emotionally drained.

My back has been acting up off and on again since Kate was born. It seems to be happening more and more and is so frustrating. I know from countless visits to doctors that there isn't anything they can do--I just need to get better at doing my physical therapy exercises and strengthening my stomach and back muscles.

Back pain and 4 kids doesn't seem to go together. Kate wants held most of the time and that triggers the pain more than most things. She also loves to curl up next to me and sleep, which also triggers the pain. The more the back hurts, the more upset and down I get.


Today I'm down :( Jon's gone for his 12+ hour day, the kids are bored, Kate is clingy and the back is aching a lot :(
