Christmas Part 3: The aftermath

On Boxing day we went to Dad and Maura's to exchange the last of the gifts with Amanda, James, and Greg. We had a yummy yummy brunch of crepes. After the gifts and breakfast we proceeded to play lots and lots of Wii and Wii fit! Family exercise time!

On the 27th we gathered up a few Pottery Barn Kids gift certificates and proceeded to leave the house to go to the store to complete Paige's room. "Watch out the steps are slippery", Mike said. He took Paige to the car. I locked up the door walked down a couple of steps, and before I knew it I was on the ground breaking my fall with my lower back hitting the final small step onto the driveway. Pain! Pain!! I didn't hit my stomach or anything, so I wasn't worried about that, but it was quite scary and unexpected. I got in the car a bit shaken up but we went off to do our shopping. I also figured the longish car ride and the heated seat might be nice for my aching back. After shopping for a bit it was really in pain, and we sat for a bit of lunch before going home. While we were having the lunch I discovered I no longer had a wallet. And when we got home I really discovered that I no longer had a wallet. After a day of lying down, racking my brain on the location of the wallet, and physically searching every part of the house, we figured it was gone and cancelled my credit cards.

When I got up yesterday I felt a bit better, but couldn't really lift my right leg up very much, and still have a bit of trouble. I was able to finally begin to call some places where we were on the 24th to try to retrieve the lost wallet (everything was closed before that due to the holidays). The first place I called was the AGO (art gallery) and they had it! We decided to drive down there right away since the traffic was light yesterday. Mike waited outside with Paige while I waited for 40 minutes to retrieve my wallet as they had a problem with their safe. But at least it isn't lost!!

Paige's room was completed after that and I will definitely post photos of her room almost complete!!

OH MY what a scare, the fall particularly. I hope you are o.k. Then to top it off to discover your wallet missing. I bet you wish you could have started that day all over again. Looks like the princess got quite a haul and is really enjoying her gifts. Love Gramama
