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...

ESSENCE MAKEUP REVIEW

Makeup can be high end and really expensive or drugstore and very budget friendly.  Just because a drugstore brand is budget friendly doesn't mean it is bad quality. Right? Recently while perusing my local Ulta store with Jayedyn                      (on the hunt for a blue eye liner )  after looking at all the different brands from Urban Decay, Ulta , Nyx etc. and coming up empty and disappointed we were ready to walk away when i suggested one more look . Tucked away on an end cap of the isle was a small product line. I had never even looked at this brand before but sitting on the shelf was the perfect blue shade of eyeliner that Jayedyn was searching for & on a 15 yr old girls budget too. I started to take a closer look at some of the products . The nail polish is what  drew me in, the colors were so pretty, it also looked like there were a few dupes for some high end products as well. I ended ...
