10 in a Week


Oh my! I finally feel a little bit rested. Last week I had gotten a total of 10 hrs of sleep for the week. I suddenly turned into some nocturnal species..lol! However, the difference was I couldn't sleep all day. At 10 or 11 am was when I would finally fall asleep. Then kids get home around 3, so i had to get up to make sure they had dinner for school.

I tell you this pain is really NO JOKE at all! I was seating and thinking about the little children who suffer with this. I pray daily for those who have been diagnosed with ANY disease.

My daughter had her scholastic banquet this weekend. She was recognized fro her academic achievement in maintaining a 3.4 GPA for the school year of 09/10. That's in case you were wondering about the photo.

I feel a little rejuvenated this morning. Feels like thing are going back to normal....slowly but surely.

I'm Baaaack!

Okay, so I've gotten the kids to bed and the time now 9:14pm. My youngest daughter is running a fever:( So time for me this RA to get out of the way. Mommy has work to do!

Anyhow, I guess I'm pulling an "all nighter" tonight....again. The pain has been so excruciating! On top of running out of meds isn't helping either. No doctor in a few months and can't assistance anywhere. My former Rheumy relocated to another state and that sort of left me out on a limb. I've been to several others, but where is the compassion. So people either have that gift or not. You can definitely tell the one \s who DON'T. Living this life with a husband and 3 small kids is hard work! Thankfully I have a Hubby who helps me out whenever I need it.

I love Just Because gifts:

First time blogging

I've been putting this off for some time now...blogging that is. So now here it is! Here I will share my life living with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Since the time is now 5:28am, and I have to wake the kids up in 30 minutes, explaining to you what RA is will have to come later. I've gained a total of 10 hours of sleep since Sunday. I'd like to consider myself as being nocturnal at this point..lol! Anyhow, follow me as this ride with RA can be very interesting. Oh, and Happy Birthday to my sweet Daddy:)

So not defeated!
