1. One of the side-effects of being on Vicodin is that you cannot remember its name. You'll call it Valium repeatedly.
2. You should wear deodorant. It works.
3. Three year olds are hard to understand sometimes. And when he commands your mom to bring you your food, she might misunderstand, take him at his (misunderstood) word, and bring you a spoon instead.
4. Having a numb foot makes it hard to put pants on.
5. You will never be more grateful for your iPhone than when you are forced to lay in bed for several days straight. Angry Birds, Instagram, and Words With Friends will become your best friends.
6. Showering is a privilege. But don't forget deodorant. See #2.
7. If your son feels badly enough for you, he'll actually give you money.
8. If your husband feels badly enough for you, he'll actually buy you a DVD player that streams Netflix so you can watch movies from the bed.
9. If your mom feels badly enough for you, she'll actually put up with both of your sons waking her up at 2:30am and not get in her car and drive back to StL.
That's it. Just 9 today. Time to lay down.

Amend #9 to say if your kids wake her at 2:30 a.m. and don't ever go back to sleep... And I have news for you - that takes not only feeling bad enough for YOU, but loving THEM a whole lot! :)
ahhhh Jamie, these make me laugh but ONLY because I know them oh so well. ok well not the kids waking up early part, but definitely the confined to bed, showers as privileges, relying on your mom and husband for everything parts. Also, anyone that says "oh wow bed rest = movies all day, you are SO lucky" has no idea, and deserves a kick in the neck. Yup! the neck.
Hang in there!!
