Pain pain go away

So as some of you may know I have Friedreich's Ataxia.  I have had lots of bad days lately.  nothing I cant handle but still rough.  A few days ago I woke up to my right side hurting not my arm the side.  So I took some pills and decided I could not just sit around.  So the kids and I walked to the store.  Someone has to do the shopping right.  So I got home and got into a fight with my boyfriend.  I would use fiance but he has not officially proposed.  Not a fight an argument on the phone.  So I get done with the argument and I start to get pain running own my left arm.  After I distressed the pain in the arm went away but the one in my side does not seem to want to disappear.  So last night my boyfriend and I got into an argument over text.  There seems to be a pattern here right.  I thought it was fun to wake up screaming and crying at five this morning.  Of course I was not quiet cause it woke my daughter up and my kids can sleep through anything.  after I got the cramp in my right leg went away I tried to get a few more hours of sleep.  Yeah I failed, but the bed was comfy laying in it.  Then my 4 alarms went off and I climbed out of bed.  The cramp screwed my leg up cause I was gimping to the coffee pot this morning.  So I thought that I would take it easy today and relax at the house.   As the day went on I got lots of nothing done cause every time I got up my leg killed me.  I took some more pills and went to check the mail.  Ha ha that was so much fun.  Days like today I am glad I have a walker to use.  As I sit here and type I realize how much I still have to do before the morning.  My sister is coming to take my youngest to his first hockey game.  I have to pack him and clean the house and ice my side cause it still hurts like hell.  Oh and did I mention My head is hurting too.  On the plus side I go to the doctor on Monday morning so I am sure they will be running more tests.  Okay I am done for now but might be back to vent later.

If it can go wrong it will

So as another day is closing and I find myself getting ready to put the kids to bed. I realize how much hard it is to put them to bed the older they get.  When kids are 3 to 4 years old you tuck them in and read them a story and lights out and bam there asleep.  Now that my kids are 8, 10, and 11 years old it is such a hassle to get them to sleep.  I read to them and snug as a bug in a rug.  Hugs and kisses and you would think sleep right.  Try again...  30 minutes after  all of that I am reminding them that they need to sleep.  Then an hour and I am reminding them to go to bed.  at an hour and a half I am pist and yelling at them that mommy needs sleep.  So finally at the 2 hour mark the kids are asleep and I get some me time.  But by then I am so tired that I can't function.  So Friday I was at home and my brother wanted me to go out with him and his girlfriend.  After the week I had I just wanted sleep earlier in the week I hurt the right side of my jaw and walked so much my legs were killing me.  That was just what I needed to go out to the bar and mingle. So I took the easy way out and decided that I would babysit my other brother and sister in laws kids so they could go out and I could rest.  5 kids at my house oh yeah I was going to rest.  The kids were good and I got to sleep in the next day so my legs were feeling better. On Saturday afternoon my niece's decided they were sick so they stayed in bed all day and then because they were staying in my daughters room she got sick to.  Sunday morning my sister in law got sick.  Happy day to me I am the only girl in a house with 3 adults and 5 kids that was not sick.  So Sunday night my daughter was feeling good enough for school but my sister in law was horribly sick, so her and the girls stayed with me and my brother went home to go to work on Monday.  I have kinda got off the bed time thing but it all works for me.  Now that it is Monday night and i am in bed I feel sick.

  I sware if it can go wrong it will go wrong for me. I went  and got my mail today and I got a magazine and a few other bills and one really then express mail envelope, that I thought was empty.  As I said above my sister in law was here,  so when I opened it I was shocked.  The first thing I pulled out was 2 checks for $950.50 both postal money orders to me.  Then I pulled out this half sheet of paper that said when you receive this email me at some secret shopper email.  Then I read the name on the letter and it hit me.  I had got an email from this same person a few days ago.  I didn't open the email till today cause it said make $200 as a secret shopper. Sometimes things are to good to be true.  So I read the email to my sister in law and we were laughing about it.  But because I knew it was not a good thing I called the police station to talk to someone about it.  The officer that called me back had me forward the email to her and asked if I could bring the checks to the station.  I told  her that it was to close to my kids getting out of school so I would have to d it in the morning.  She gave me a case number and said that was fine.  Well I am a bad luck person and I think positive thought but my mind is set on prepare for the worst and hope for the best.  So in the morning I  am getting my kids off to school and going to the cop shop.  On the plus side I get to get my bus pass tomorrow.  The moral of this story is be careful what you do online cause someone will get your info and you will be screwed.  Well thank you for letting me vent. Talk to ya soon
