Just Been busy! | Arthritis Information
All is well here. I have honestly been so busy I rarely even get on the net. So maybe I will read some and get caught up after I get some sleep.
Well school is out. I have taking the children to the park on the few days we are not in the basement. So many storms this year. We had six storm warnings in one night Wednesday. So really we have only been to the park a few times and swimming once.
Well we have a big screen tv in the basement and lots of toys and video games so it is not all bad.
One of my sons is getting married. So that will keep me busy. I love her also.
Life comes with the good things and the bad things. Some family members are not doing well. God has his plans I know. Still it is hard to let go. Even harder when they are young. I hold out hope of course that miricles can still happen.
So this is life I am happy, thrilled joyous and full. When I sit down I remember the sad things and I have to trust in God that everything will be alright.
Some how I still manage to love my large family. I moved two months ago and have only slept in my bed twice. Tonight being the second time. Well my bed is always here if I need some down time. LOL
Well with school being out the kids do not have so many germs. I am sort of a germa phobic in the school months. In the summer I can adore them without being as afraid of getting strep or the flu. So between the grandkids and the nieces and nephews I have been making the rounds.
Baseball season was fun however I am tired of looking for hats and cleets ect. I had three ball players this season and the kids sort of tend to missplace thier equipment. Some nights I was sort of glad it was raining.
I would get the uniforms washed and the shoes would be at thier grandmas or in thier Moms car. So thier Dad picks one of them up. I say his brother has the baseball bag and is already playing as soon as that one is done playing he has to get the bag from him because he can not find his cap or his helmet. Oh and stop at my Moms because he left his cleets over there. LOL Well we understand it. LOL We survived it.
Behind every ball game and dance recital is a family especially when you have multiple kids. I spend more time getting them ready then I do watching them play. Some body has to. LOL
So you get the lad to put down his third peanutbutter sandwhich and get him dressed before his coach picks him up and at the last second he pulls his tooth. So I ask the coach to wait while I clean up the blood. Then I wonder where did the baby wander off to? Hoping she did not take someones ballcap and hide it.
She loves to play dress up. So the shoes literaly walk off into the other room all of the time. I have spent the greater part of the summer thus far looking for things that are not where I put them.
I am not complaining because the rewards of the love and laughter are so worth it. I would not trade a minute of it.
So at times I thought having RA would mean not having a life in the scense that I thought life was. It seems that I had no idea what was in store for me. Life is beyond my wildest imagination.
Great hearing from you Milly...I've been wondering how you've been doing. Glad to hear all is well, and that you're not in too much pain. Sounds like you have a wonderful family, but sorry to hear some are ailing. What fun it must be chasing after grandkids and nieces and nephews, going to their games, and watching them grow. That's really what life's all about! My twin granddaughters are now 16 months old, and although I can't get down on the floor with them to play, it's so much fun just to be able to sit in a chair and watch them. My biggest fear is that as they grow and start doing outside activities, I won't be able to participate due to the RA. I strive to be healthy for them, and pray it will happen.
Thanks for stopping in with an update, I think about you often!
Hi Milly, you have been one busy lady. You made me chuckle when I read about losing hats, shoes and equipment because I can do that very well on my own with no help from anyone else!!! You must be feeling better and I'm so glad for that. Don't disappear again, we enjoy your posts. Lindy
