MS Ain'tfor Sissies!

My 2013 mantra...MS ain't for sissies! Constant pain and anxiety brings on stress and stress brings on mobility issues or vice versa. It's CrAzY! I want to do so much that I can't do anymore...work, housework, scrapbooking...well, he last one is based on not being able to do the others which means the hubby has to do it and that means that he can't get to the other things that HE wants to do like complete the repairs needed for the basement and other areas...

It was a great day in Southern Maryland today...November 8th and 70 degrees. A nice breeze and plenty of sun, my mom actually put the top down on the Benz on our way to lunch.

Took my Danielle to flute lessons this morning, then to Target and didn't spend a dime myself! I was very, very proud of myself!

I have so much to do in the scraproom...christmas cards, christmas gifts, gift albums, gift tags, cookie recipe swap, etc. etc. etc. and the room is an absolute mess!!! Can't even see the two, yes two banquet tables I have down there! It is so depressing :o(

I do have a capative helper on Veterans Day in the middle of the day, my organizer, Josh is a wiz with my scraproom supplies!!! Need to bribe him to help me out :o)

WOW! It's been awhile!
I haven't been overwhelmed but just a different type of stress...busy, life changing stress...
I left my full-time job due to lack of business due to economic factors...
business just wasn't there because the housing market slowed so the contractors and home builders stopped working and people stopped buying houses...
I have also filed for Social Security Disability because I really, really can't work any longer. The fatigue, the pain, the lack of mobility, the memory loss, all were affecting my work so when I could help by taking the layoff, I did.
I really need to get that disability approved since our family might just be one of the many foreclosures if we don't get some income for my portion of the family "bacon".
I am selling pre-made scrapbook albums every now and then and trying to keep my house "in order" but with 3 kids at home, that doesn't happen all that often with my MS complications.

Well, that's it for now!

Spring time

It's supposed to be in like a lion and out like a lamb but I can get used to this...70 degrees, breezy and NICE!!!!

I've been busy in the scrap room too!

Sure Happy It's Thursday!!!
