you're not even CLOSE to being a downer, my dear!

first, we CARE, about how you're doing, and how your symptoms are affecting you.

second, that means EVEN when it's gnarly, and you need to complain a bit.

third (the kicker!) WE reserve the right to equal-opportunity whining!



I've got a little mantra that helps me... "This too shall pass", which I got from my mom.

hang in there honey, and remember not to work too much, and take good care of yourself!

Kay, No Coffee. Sorry to hear that.

Can't wait to hear how many babies come from that nest.

GiGi, glad to hear the spasms are better today. Also glad to hear the speech went ok.

TK, so far so good. The fog has lifted for now, LOL.

backup plan: hot herbal tea with honey, and a slice of ginger.

raspberry mint at the moment, with fresh honey from the Succotz hives down the road.

the ginger was dug up yesterday from my land:

thanks Kayo...and the pics always make me smile such great pics you always have....
I went to work for a managers meeting, I had some stuff to say....I was saying it and stumbling on my words...sometimes embarrasing..as they dont have a clue not all of them anyhow....and I dont have a dx to know what to say anyhow.....just frustrating at times...to feel so cogfogged out..!!

Feeling last few days, Like I am here but not here, that I am just living life but not living it...just here....as time goes by without me like...hard to explain....

My hands are numb/tingling, my feet are burning, my face is numb and my head is LOST!! Trying to enjoy my day off, other than the meeting, and just only half here for the little ones....

I feel like noone understands ME, well hubby actually does a great job supporting me, and he actually can tell when I am feeling out of it...and comforts me....but otherwise...just feel lost....without my other family understanding better...(parents and siblings)

Anyhow, the sun is shining, the snow is sparkling, Maddie baby is cruising in her walker, Ciara is a singing and humming while she plays...life is good, just wish I could enjoy it more......hugssss all and thanks, sarah

Tk, aren't you from TN? If you are, I hope everyone is OK. I cannot believe the damage from the tornados. My sister was woke up at 3am from my mom to get in the storm shelter. A tornado was down the street from her!

I am packing today and watching my house get buried as we speak from snow.

thank you, Sarah.

I never knew what ginger looked like in the wild, so I'm glad a friend showed me... don't they have pretty flowers?

it's so difficult when the stuff going on is invisible... and impossible to explain to our children...

you'll look back on quiet days like this with remembered joy.

even if it doesn't FEEL like it now... just sorta draggin' butt, and fakin' it, I remember it well...

and the REASON I remember it? because I wrote it down on the calender... the kids' new words, new tricks, simple joys, and other fun things.

when I purged tons-lots of stuff (18 years of school stuff, lol, total pack-rat!) I KEPT the stack of calenders... for the beautiful memories.

so, go write down somewhere safe what you just posted, about Ciara and Maddie, okay?

I hope you get some kind of relief soon Sarah. Trace Adkins has a new song out called "Your Gonna Miss This" and it's about your kids growing up and how they are going to miss some things.

So sweet. I hope you get a chance to hear it. Here is the link. Just click on the video. Your Gonna Miss This

OK, this song just had me close to tears. it's so true.

Renee -- Thanks; a Kentucky Browns sounds yummy.

Just got back a about an hour ago from my 3rd tysabri infusion. I did not have an allergic reaction this time (benadryl must have helped). I am feeling a bit more tired than usual.

Hope everyone is doing as far as the weather goes.

I guess we lucked out -- had bad thunder storms and tornado watches but no actual tornado. Today -- wind, rain, sleet, and snow. Luckily a friend drove me to ty appointment as it is about 50 miles each way.

Time for a nap!!!

Me? Oh gosh, no. I am in Arizona. Our bad weather consists of monsoons in the summer. YEAH! Actually, they can be pretty bad. In the mountains they get a lot of snow and winter storms.

I feel for all of you who are dealing with this crazy weather. You are all welcome to come visit for the winter. Although, it might be a little cozy. LOL. Hey, there's plenty of room at DBF's rental! We can even bring the motorhome for privacy and the yard is huge and can fit some tents and cots. LOL. Winter Commune in the Desert!!!!
