Quarantining, online Hell, it's not even summer yet, at least I know they are safe. it's Lupus awareness month...



So how is everyone doing with this whole quarantine situation? 
for me, it's just been a normal time.
I don't go anywhere anyways so I was okay with it Until.........
My kids couldn't go to school anymore... LOL
Don't get me wrong I love and adore my children, it's all the work that they had to do. 
I have a 9th grader and an 11th grader and as much as I wanted to be a school teacher when I was young it all changed. This is not for me ...

 First off the online schooling was difficult because we only had a laptop, No sorry a Chromebook and because the school blocked everything on it.
That made working 10x's harder than needed.  

 Second is our wifi situation it's not the greatest, we just have what the apt has in a package so it's not like we get to choose our carrier. 

 Third, my oldest son also had to work from home and it's not an easy thing to do working for Discover Card.

 On my kitchen counter are two huge monitors and a tower. 
(I need my own house LOL.) 
 So him doing that takes all our crappy bandwidth so my kids can't do homework until later in the evening or in many cases very early in the morning. 
This is okay with me because I have insomnia so I'm up already.

4th, The house has to be completely quiet from 11-8 pm which is crazy.
I mean I sleep then so not to bad. 
I am so exhausted lately I could sleep for days and days. 

 So let's just say that schoolwork has not been easy.
some teachers understand and some have been real jerks about it .. I mean you have to do what you gotta do, 
 AmiRight?

 So Lonnie has been going to work every day so far so we have been blessed in that regard. 
I didn't realize how much I would miss my KJ he is doing great in the Army   

 So the month of May is coming to an end and it's been one to remember. 
I missed the world lupus day which was mother's day and POP day which was the 15th (Pop stands for Put On Purple. )You are supposed to show your support that way. Lonnie did do a $25 donation on the 1st of the month so I will have a Lupus mask coming in the mail whenever.

 I am so sorry about the makeup tutorials.
 I know I have promised to get them up soon but I just haven't had the energy to wear any makeup. Last time was my Drs appt in March.

 I have more blood tests to take and a new cardiology appointment set up soon to figure out why my blood pressure is so high and my BPM is at least 135 when I am resting, why my chest hurts so bad and the damn headaches I keep getting. 
I should probably schedule a breast exam. 

 Well, I hope that everyone has been safe during this whole time.
                         Stay strong and keep fighting

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings June 25th

Hey there.  I hope you are staying safe and sane in this crazy world.  It's a lot to stomach for anyone. I can't go crazy.  I already am!        Serious question? When do you tell your family that their joking around has become hurtful?  It's to the point where I feel like I am in high school again, trying to compete for their love and attention. I am 45 yrs old and feel like I am treated like a child at times. I am told that I am too sensitive and that I take things out of context, that I should just take it, and know they are playing.  Every night it's a roast the hell outta mom till she cries or locks herself in the bathroom so no one would see.  it's not like anyone would care to be honest.  I could cry for hours and no one would even flinch.  When did I become invisible, and so small that it doesn't matter if I am even around?  I am ignored when I am trying to be a mother, I am ignored when I try to let people know ho...

Let's talk showers

  Let's talk showers  No, not the kind that falls from the sky when it rains. No, not meteors, but regular showers people take to keep clean. A regular person is in the shower up to 5-10 mins maybe 15 at the most. Well for someone with Lupus, MS and Fibromyalgia it's so much longer. For instance, it took me almost an hour to shower the other day. Why is this you ask? Well, I can barely stand on my own, and do things like lift my hands to shampoo my hair without being so exhausted I have to sit down.  So it begins, the clock ticking away. *10 mins gone * sitting down. Once I finally can I stand back up and commence the ritual of the shower  but wait, after *10 more mins* I need to take a breath before I pass out (literally) it takes sitting down and breathing slowly to make it not feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest.  I look at my handy dandy Fossil smartwatch and it says my BPM is 140 which I believe.  I try to slow down my breathing, a...

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings

I found this from April25th 2019 and somehow it never posted so I thought I would just add it here because I know that a lot of you are struggling this way also. You are not alone at all. I am starting to realize that sometimes even the sweetest kind of person can belittle you and hurt you with their words.  I recently had a day where I was told "Try to Keep Up" on the day I was struggling to walk, and in the most pain due to lack of pain medication s. It cut me to my core.  I would like to think that I am a good person and kind to everyone I meet. But recently it's been pointed out that people feel like I make whatever is being talked about and turn it back to ME. I don't feel like the world is about me by far, I try to make everything about other people and leave me out of it all.  I am not the kind of person that I want to have the spotlight on myself, it makes me uncomfortable because I want to do things right. I know it's crazy being a "Leo" it...
