Please say it's not really genetic!!

Many people think I look a lot like my mother. Our bodies are definitely shaped mostly the same - although I do have bigger arms and feet (don't ask). And although I would love nothing more than to be as good of a mother, housekeeper and friend as my momma - I don't want her back!

Last night - after working on a project for a client from dawn to past midnight - I went to put Maggie in the crate and go to bed. She didn't like that idea - took off - played catch me if you can. When I caught her I bent over and lifted straight up. Hint: no legs were used in lifting.

You guessed it - I've been moving around like ... well no offense mom ... but yeah, my momma when her back is acting up. I've never been more glad to have my kids home from school if only because I couldn't reach my feet (even bending my legs) to get on socks or slippers.

I worked on the website again today (from dawn til now) and am going to take a long, hot, pound-on-my-back kind of shower. Maybe it'll help loosen it up some.

Mom, I love you more than words can say. I pray daily that I can be as good as you AND look as amazing as you do at age 70+ BUT really can you keep the back thing?
