The Big Day

Well, the day has come and gone. I have imagined what it would feel like for some time now ever since some of my close friends and family members have gone through this before me. I knew it would happen eventually, you just don't know how fast it hits you. What am I talking about? I am talking about my birthday. I have now been alive for three decades. That's right the big 3-0. All joking aside, I am really thankful to have been blessed to have 30 great years. I feel great, no major melt downs. :) I have actually been trying to post something that I am thankful for everyday on Facebook for November. That has helped me have a very positive attitude. So, I say bring on 30, 40 and beyond. I will praise God with whatever time He allows me to have here.

Is it the MS or just Me?

One of the difficult things with MS is that some of the symptoms can be everyday things. For example, I struggle with fatigue. But I don't know how much is MS and how much is just me. I am trying to take some new vitamins and hope that it helps. The key there is trying because I forget to take my vitamins. I have never had a great memory and another thing with MS is cognitive problems. Do you see what I mean? I left a pot of water on the stove and forgot about it. However, I was trying to multitask and also get some laundry done. Anytime my feet or hands fall asleep I wonder if it is related to the MS and is going to last for days or just for a few minutes like everyone else. I try not to over think it. But some days I think about all the weird stuff I do and wonder if it is the MS or just me.

I'm Still Here!

I just have a few minutes, but wanted to put in a quick update. We are all doing well. I am feeling about the same. Still tired most of the time, but I try to take a nap when I can. We are trying to eliminate some of our bills. So, we do not have Internet at the house right now. We are very blessed to live close to the library. I will try to come here more often to give updates. Prayers for my family right now would be great. There are some changes with my husbands job. I know that we will get through this and that God will provide. It is just a little stressful when you don't know how everything is going to work out.

On a positive note, my boy is 10 today. I can't believe he is already 10. He is such a sweet boy. He loves to read and build things with Lego's. He is also very funny and quick to still give me hugs and I love yous. He loves Jesus and we talk about spiritual things often. I am very blessed with three wonderful children. They make me smile all the time. :)
