Getting out...

Well our Christmas tree is down and all of our decorations are put away. Kenny and his mom did most of the work since I am not allowed to lift anything. I really appreciated all the assistance! But our home looks so Blahhh now!! I already miss it all.

Even though the decorations are down, our home is not back to normal. We have to find places for all the new toys and items that Ellie received for Christmas and relocate the old items back to their original/newly adjusted locations. One thing is for sure tho, the radio flyer horse that Ellie got from her Gigi has already found its location...It have taken over the place in the livingroom where the Christmas tree was. The only problem with this was that this area used to house MANY toys and items and the horse now consumes the entire area!! LOL Now I am going to have to do some major thinking on how we are going to handle the toy land overload!! ;)

We decided to get out of the apartment tonight! I needed it, but man it was difficult. I am the "heavy" in our family and our daughter Ellie knows it. However, with this surgery, I am unable to do so much right now and Kenny is having to so most of the day to day stuff. Ellie is testing him really hard!!!

We went to Kohl's to return somethings that Kenny got for Christmas that didn't fit. Ellie was so demanding!!! She pushed her limits the entire evening. She is trying Kenny and seems to be winning. I actually broke down and spanked her in the store. She was so shocked...she looked at me like "You're not supposed to be doing that". HAHAHA!! Kenny is tryi ng so hard and for the most part doing a great job, it's just that my patience and tollerance with things that I KNOW she knows better seem to wear out long before his does...LOL

I would have been happy with just the trip to Kohl's because after that I was starting to hurt, but Kenny had already lined up dinner with his brother's family, so I popped some pain meds and went on. Dinner was nice. It was good to see them and their boys. We ate at Wings and that wasn't to bad either. It was nice to get out...and a good trial run for what I can expect tomorrow night. We will head to Jake and Emily's Wedding Anouncement Party for New Year's Eve! Can't wait to see everyone!!!
