tying my shoes

i have discovered that it takes a lot more energy and difficulty to do the simple things i used to take for granted i.e. tying my shoes. I tried to tie my shoes yesterday at work so we could walk a couple blocks to grab lunch and it took me a few minutes of huffing and puffing to get each shoe tied. i normally wear slip on flats to work so i have never really noticed how hard it is to put stuff on my feet. then this morning while i was trying to put on socks, i had to sit down on my little step stool to do it. sooo sad... also, whenever i sit on the floor at home, it takes a lot of grunting and time for me to get up without assistance. poor joey... he gets to be the one to help me up off the floor and at times help me get of the car if the seat is too low. oh just thinking about the amount of energy it takes to bend over makes me tired now... wow... how sad. Anyhoo, we're trying to walk and exercise still everyday but i'm beginning to feel more like a big round ball with each passing day...
atleast it is friday... i have a lot of pictures to share and i'm hoping to play around with the sizing this weekend so i can post! we have pictures from the 4th of july, our car shopping experience, and got to share about last weekend!
