sore knees

celticdragonflyWow, whatever I did to my knee over the weekend - and yeah, overwalking it Saturday is probably it - it's really bothering me now. I'm having a bad time all morning so far with it. Getting up and down the stairs is particularly bad. I suspect I'm going to give Brendan a bunch of up and down stairs jobs wherever I can. Since the kid is home for the week on vacation - summer school starts next week - I might as well put him to work. I let him sleep in this morning, though.
I think part of what makes it so bad is that whenever I get up from the floor with a baby, there's this stage of it when I'm putting weight on the knees at the same time as twisting through the knee. I think it's really bad, but I haven't figured out how to avoid it. In a minute I think I'm going to limp into the kitchen for some ibuprofen.
Gak, just realized I've got three kids who have not had baths yet today - I'm going to have to carry the littler two upstairs at some point, and then flop onto my knees with them by the tub, kneel through bathing them, and then lift them back out of the tub as I rise from my knees. Ow. Ow. Ow. In addition to all the other baby lifting.
