Hey there everyone!! I hope everyone's summer is super so far...mine is pretty good.
I thought I would take this opportunity to discuss some fears I have been having lately. I am sick again. I have been taking my meds religiously and nothing seems to work. I know I will have to go back on the shot which sucks. No more drinking, no sun= no fun!! I know that this is happening again and I am out of remission because my joints are so painful lately. The last 3 times this has happened it has only been my hands....but this time it is my hips, knees, elbows, feet, ankles, etc. I am walking like an old lady because it is painful to do so (Kim--will try my hardest to go to the zoo on Thursday, but seriously may need a wagon for me!). I am trying not to bitch about it and work through all the pain...because it is painful....but it has been difficult. I haven't told anyone...except Chris & Meg of course...and I see it in Chris' face that he is scared too. All I want to do is be in bed. I can't even lift Griffin up onto the changing table. Its bad this time. Just bare with me and keep in mind I really don't like to talk about it because really I don't like to be a whiner and I can be bitchy. I have called the doc and supposed to go early next month.
Things with Meg are good. She did great at graduation and finished up the year pretty good. I am worried about next year. She really needs to keep those grades up so she can come to Disney with us in October, try out again for Cougann's and get her car next summer. Bad grades=no car. Chris & Meg seem to get closer when I am feeling bad. The other night they were on the computer for a while looking at cars. Did I tell you guys that he wants to get her a freakin' Porsche Boxster....mind you a used one that has been wrecked and they rebuilt...but still. Men. She is having issues with the new boyfriend and him saying one thing and doing another. I say dump him and be single. Camp in 2 weeks and can come back with a clean slate. I will miss her when she is gone. I don't realize how much she helps until she is not here helping. I guess that is why I spoil her. She may not clean up all the time and stuff...but she does help out in other ways.
Griffin has been a bear lately. I am not sure if he senses that I haven't felt 100% but he is really pushing all my buttons lately. This morning I had a minor panic attack. I went to the bathroom and came out and he was no where to be found. I mean no where. I screamed outside nothing. I looked for like 10 minutes before way back in the woods I see a little blonde puff of hair...there he was. I swear I couldn't breathe!! I am sure the neighbors think I am mom of the year sense I was screaming my head off looking for a 2 year old. Needless to say I called Chris and said "your car can wait we are getting a fence" (by the way Kim...if you can get me the number of your fence guy I would appreciate it). On another note he has been wearing big boy underpants for 2 days now. Not for long but a few hours at a time. He ran through the house screaming "me have to pee pee" and I gotta say seeing his little spongebob butt running was the cutest thing ever!!
So I guess that is all I should say now. Thanks for letting me be a sounding board....and not mentioning it.
Oh yeah, Big Whoop Whoop for Kim and Griffin going to school next year 4 days a week!!!!! The angels are singing with their harps softly in my ear!!!

Ok, first you are not a whiner or a bitch (did I say that). You are a wife and mother who is sick. And it sucks. And everyone needs you to be everything for them so you are trying to not be sick. But you HAVE to listen to your body. I know that my illness is peanuts compared to what you go through. But I get the pain, the exhaustion and still trying to be supermom. . .all of that. Kaelie definately feels when I'm not 100% and is crankier. It affects them, trust me. I'm also waiting to go to the doc to get my meds adjusted, so I feel like a useless tool right now. It is difficult and horrible and scary. And nobody thinks you are complaining or bitchy or weak for admitting that you are hurting. We are all here for you to do that. I've known you must not be feeling great for awhile. Sister kismet, remember. I freak out when I can't see Kaelie out the window, and we have no forest! You are not a bad mom, kids our age wander, they are curious and independent. I agree Megan should do a single summer. Boys are stupid. Enough rambling. Feel better. Don't feel bad if you lay on the couch and let Griff watch too much tv, I've done it and he'll survive. I love you and we all want you to be healthy and well.

I'm not a praying man in any sense of the word, but always thinking about you. And I hope you feel better sooner than later. I mean, I am going to need help moving my couchs in 5 months. Love ya!

Being a mom is tiring enough when you're not having to screw around with your silly body for fighting itself. I've decided that the role of 'Supermom' is a farce created by women who have an entire live-in backup cast helping them 24-7 (chefs, nannies, housekeepers, chauffers, massage therapists, unlimited Prozac and Ambien, etc.). For those of us in the real world, you have your family and friends to lean on, even if it's just to vent (you have every right to, and getting that weight off your chest can feel great). I can only imagine how frustrating an illness like that can be; unfortunately toddlers react to your pain by acting up, which exacerbates everything. I'm here for you, baby, and I'll even pull your wagon anywhere you need me to!!!!
As for 'losing' Griffen, I've 'lost' my kids in between the clothing racks at Wal Mart and the rows of seats at the ECU theatre. That moment of sheer panic is just awful. I, who pre-kids thought that those kid leashes were used by lazy parents, now understand their necessity when you're trying to keep up with your kids. Totally agree the fence should be #1 on the to-do list. I'll work on the name & number of our fence guy for you.
Megan: boys are just silly, especially at this age. Untie yourself and go have fun this summer!!!!!
