Winter blues....

...they can't get me down!   At least, I will try to not let them!  On a day where I have every hour scheduled, I wanted to take just a moment to check in.  I have been frantically running around the last few days, trying to get things set, so I can head off for a long weekend away in Florida, a chance to root on our boys, The Patriots, as they squish the fish on Sunday! I can't wait for some fun in the sun, and some warm air on my sore achy joints!   I am actually here to complain a little...what other mom friends will sympathize with, my husband does not !  What he is not realizing is that in order for us to get away this weekend, I need to have so many other things lined up!  Setting up a babysitter, making sure there is food in the house, lining up rides, and school, and drop offs, and pick ups, doing laundry, not just for the kids, but for us to pack, (you think He is capable of doing that himself???), and lets add on the fact that Christmas is in about 12 days or so, and I have to shop, wrap, hide, and also the Christmas Party we are hosting the weekend prior...no problem to cook, clean, organize and be calm so you can entertain 75 people in your home...no problem at all for a person who has no strength in her hands, has days of pain and weakness, and who has bouts of nausea and all the other "fun" stuff that goes along with a completely invisible, debilitating disease!  Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to every last minute of it all, and I work best under pressure, if I do say so myself! But just for once, I would love it if my husband showed me the empathy that I get from others...I'm not in no way badmouthing him, I am just wishing he would "get it"!

Next Week is crazy as hell as well!  I am scheduled for a bone density, nurse appt to "learn" how to give myself my newest injection, as well as an appt with my Rheumy. - all in the same day.  Why I thought it was a good idea to schedule it the week before the kids get out on winter break, the week I have to pick up my son from college to come home for the holidays, the week that my kids have holiday shows, xmas parties, and all that fun stuff...I have no idea why I thought that was a good idea, BUT - I am looking forward to the next step, starting a biologic, along with my MTX (chemo shot) - and praying to find some relief and kick some RA ass! 

SO, if I do not get back online, to blog, post on FB, or any of that other stuff, I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas with their loved ones! 

Be well,
