Step 2: Carry a VERY heavy box from the Universtiy of Tennessee Ball Room to the UT parking Garage. (approx. 1/4 of a mile)
Step 3: Gracefully miss a step as you enter the garage, feel pain begin to exaggerate.
Step 4: Ignore pain while focusing on missing soccer cleats, unknown whereabouts of 18 year old son, driving to soccer practice, waiting in the car for 1 1/2 hours, going to soccer uniform fitting and write a $73 check for said uniform.
Step 5: arrive home at 8:30pm after leaving home at 7am. Continue to ignore increasingly worse back pain.
Step 6: wake up at 12 am. Realize you are in the throes of the muscle spasm from HELL
Step 7: Cry...Cry to Jesus...Cry to sleeping husband
Step 8: Move to couch at 1:30 and keep crying.
Step 9: Blog at 3:37 am and wait for daylight and pray for heavy drugs to be in your very near future!
