3 days later, you would think that i would have pages from my thankful album to share with you. that was my plan. the stuff is all out and ready to go. i know what my plan is, the design of the album. it was going to go together quickly. and it was what i was going to blog about this week. but i have nothing for you. and i'm placing all blame on him.

yep, donald duck. this goofy little toy that has been around for years on end. probably a happy meal toy or something. we're always finding stray toys under the tables. ones that just didn't quite get picked up. on saturday morning, joe saw donald peeking out from under the table and picked him up and set him on the table. we all know that i can't leave things out where they don't belong. so i was walking by, and went to grab it off the table. and as soon as i ever so slightly leaned down to get it, i felt that snap in my back. i knew within seconds what just happened. my back went out. seriously, i wish there was a better story as to how it happened. but it was just me picking up donald duck from the table. this happens to me at least twice a year, for about the last 10 years. stinks. 

3 days later, and i'm still down for the count. so needless to say, there are no pages from this album to share yet. sorry. if nothing else, i'll try to assemble at least one of the pages later. just enough that i can share my basic idea with you :)

    OK seriously as much as I LOVE your work, the album can wait! You need to rest so you can get back on your feet! Take it easy & after the kiddies go home take a pain pill. I’ve been in your shoes & know how awful you feel. I’m hoping you have a speedy recovery! {{HUGS}}

    omg Laura, I know all about the back going out. I was out for 10 days in September and it was only from turning around to pull out of a parking spot!
    Do NOT rush getting back on your feet — allow your back to FULLY heal. I know how hard that is, when you feel like there’s a million other things to get done — but I promise you, the To-Do list will still be there!
    Take care of you!!!

    Oh this sounds so painful. I hope you will be up by Thanksgiving to spend some time with your family. I had a feeling something happened when I did not see things postings. I hope you are well taken care of.

    I’ve never thrown my back out. Had crazy sprained ankles that required crutches. And just recently I had 2 crazy falls within 8 days of each other that has done some serious “pains” & i’m still not 100% better. So I feel for u. I hope your family is catering to u and being good. Soon u will be good ad new.
    Happy Turkey Day
    hugs, Lynda
