Sorry for my negligence

I haven't been meaning to neglect my blog, but life has been rather difficult over the past week. Emerson has been sick since Tuesday and it has sure been a doozy. On Friday, I thought that he was okay. We went to Chic-Fil-A for lunch and he ended up chunking all over the van before I even got there. Ugh. I am sure that the patrons eating lunch there were watching me and laughing while I was cleaning up what I could in the parking lot. His seat was covered, he was covered, and my van smelled so bad I couldn't help but gag everytime I stuck my head in there. Let me tell you, the big car seats aren't very easy to clean. There was throw-up inside all the latches and every nook/cranny the seat had. It took me 30 min. just to get the cloth off of it so I could wash it. Dang, you would think that they would make it easier than that. I am sure that Emerson isn't the first kid to completely dirty up his seat. Grrrrrr....

On top of Emerson's sickness, I have been feeling rather bad lately. After 5 days of constant pain in my legs and butt, I went to the doctor. All I could think was that I was gonna die from a pulmonary embulism from blood clots in my legs. The doc diagnosed the pain as sciatica. I was so happy to hear him say that rather than blood clots! It is so weird. I have a tingly feeling going from my lower rear down to the backs of my thighs. It is really painful and annoying at times. At night when I am in bed, the pain will extend down to the backs of my calves and into my feet. Supposedly, I will be fine in a few weeks. Sciatica is a common problem and it will get better with time.

Clayton and I have joined the Y. We have a brand new facility that totally rocks! We are both so out-of-shape. Hopefully, this will be something we do regularly and we will get back in shape before my high school reunion (if we are freakin' having one). One thing I lack is yoga pants and workout tops. Old Navy has the best pants, but they just clearanced them out. Ugh!!!! I have been searching all over ebay, but no luck thus far. Anyone have recommendations?
