NEW YEAR'S EVE
Becky put together a fun movie date with all the Maynes girls for New Year's Eve. We went down to Sandy at the old theater I used to go to when I lived in Sandy- pretty cool and nostalgic even though it's not really the same.. but anyway- we went to see Maleficent 2 and since Becky had some extra tickets, Rylee Mottishaw and Kate Maughan came with us! It was a lot of fun. We met up with Becky, Nancy, Ali and Bryn, and Meg and Sierra. Sadie did awesome during the movie! I was shocked there was room to set her carseat at my feet and she slept there for a good portion of the movie and then nursed and sat there for the rest of it! I didn't have to go out with her once. Molly needed to go out once to get a drink, but other than that, she was really good too! Erika was with Kate the whole time which was nice because there's no other girls her age. I don't even know how Charity and Kelly did- there were on a different row- they seemed to have fun. It was a good time. I'm glad we were able to go. I don't know why, but I was exhausted when we got home. I ended up taking a pretty long nap.
I woke up about an hour before we needed to go over to the Maughan's for our party with them. We hurried to get out the door and then when we got there and they were still eating- realized- we were half hour off on our start time and basically 15 minutes early! Kind of embarrassing. But what else is new. We played a lot of games with everyone, ate lots of treats! It was a lot of fun! The only thing I didn't enjoy that evening was my back! For some reason, about 10 minutes into the party, my back started hurting. It was just a little pinch at first, but slowly became a really big problem! I could stand okay, just a little pain, and sit okay, on most places, but getting up, holding Sadie, nursing, sitting back down... all of those... felt like death! I seriously wasn't sure what I was going to do! Probably one of my biggest problems in those situations is how I start thinking about the future too much! I was really stressing about how I was going to carry on! It was awful! I was on the verge of tears for a lot of the evening, just trying not to cry and ruin all the fun. I was baby-stepping to 9:30 when we knew Nate was going to have to leave, because I knew I could go home then and get on the heating pad, and cry! Not that I wanted to go home. I didn't. I just didn't know how much longer I could go on! 9:30 came and as we were walking home, I just melted! I couldn't hold it in anymore. The kids helped me get a heating pad on my back, they took Sadie... it was a relief, but I was still in so much pain! Lots of ibuprofen that night! Ugh. It was awful! We played some more games and rang in the new year with our pots and pans, and then watched a movie! I didn't have the strength to do bedtime. Luckily my back felt much better in the morning. Still sore and hard to move around with for a few days, but nothing like that night again. Thank goodness!! It was not something I was able to work around. But anyway!! It was a fun evening for most of the kids and we all enjoyed being together and with the Maughans. Happy 2020!!!
