Dan took the kids to school this morning and let me sleep in- what a guy!
Feeling crappy. Had lots of twitching and tingling last night before bed.

Let's Go Buf-a-Lo
I'm impressed so far by the Bills 1st quarter, but along with so many other fans, I'm cautiously optimistic. It's been a while since we've had a winning team, but so far so good.
Dan is at his men's group bible study tonight- definitely an excuse for a bunch of men to get together and grunt at monday night football, but good nevertheless. I think they get more out of it than they realize. It's awesome for him to have that support from other guys, and while I'm sick like this especially- he needs it.
It's nice to have more quiet to myself tonight too. Usually this is the time when I really start to have trouble, and I can relax pretty easily now. Unfortunately, Time Warner Cable sucks! My DVR is broken and it looks like I'll lose all the shows I had already recorded. I'm bummed b/c that's what I do all day to veg out. It's stressful. Stress = bad for my symptoms.
Pretty good headache now, but I resisted the urge to take my Treximet all day. I definately did too much today, and am wiped out. I had a good talk with a good friend from church today who has MS. She gave me some great insight and encouragement. It's awesome to be developing this support group without having to leave the house. It's awesome to not have to leave the house!
It was tough on the kids today for me to not feel well. Dan doesn't come home on Mondays, b/c work is closer to his bible study and coming home would be a waste. When the kids came home, I took them on a nature hunt in our backyard for different kinds of leaves. We brought them inside and did crayon rubbings with them. It was fun (maybe more for me than them)! I think Joe enjoyed it more than Bella. He's got such a creative mind and it's really cool to watch.
After our craft time, I put together a dinner for them out of leftovers and made myself a salad with deli turkey and swiss cheese. I just put the kids down and didn't have any energy left for them. Quick prayer and g'night.
No Wii today!
Headache
fatigue
eyes are tired
little anxious

Good Morning
Kids are off to school, and I have the whole day to myself! It's such a relief to have quiet in this house. It was a tough night and morning, but it's ok now.
Lying in bed, I had the twitching on my left elbow/bicep area for only a little while, maybe a 1/2 hour. My toes were pins and needles, and a new thing happened. My lips and tongue, and kinda the whole bottom part of my mouth seemed numb and tingly. Not quite numb, but like when the lidocaine wears off at the dentist and that weird tingly feeling is there. That was present just before I fell asleep. I woke up without any numbness.
This morning I woke up with so much tiredness. I could have pulled the covers over my head and slept for hours. Dan wasn't waking right up, so I got out of bed and made it happen. I told him I would be the one to get the kids up and off to school, so I really want to follow through. If I have all day to do nothing, it's the least I can do. My head ached and I was so slow physically and mentally, but the kids got dressed, groomed, lunches made, and on the bus without too much trouble.
Going to Wii fit today at some point, will post how much I can do today and how I'm feeling after.
Headache (back of head)
Neck and back sore/stiff
Slow (physical and mental)
Exhausted
Body feels heavy

Yikes
So, things went from bad to worse. Dan was cranky when he came home from the base. It sucks for him to have to give up a whole weekend every month and have to get up early and lose sleep. It sucks worse that he doesn't get a break from taking care of me! I really overdid it just now. My head is killing, my body is exhausted and hot. My muscles are all twitchy.
I appreciate him so much all the time, it makes it so difficult when he has a fit. I can't be mad at him, and I just pick up the slack. The kids both needed showers, so they don't go to school Monday smelly. It's really a basic fact to me. He doesn't seem to feel that way though. I said that I had learned to wait for what I want, but things like that I won't wait for. I did it myself. We don't have a tub, b/c our bathroom is under remodel, so they need to be washed in a shower. It's too tough for a 7 and 5 year old to do by themselves.
Wow! It feels so good to get that all off my chest- and thank goodness for spell check! I'm going to give Dan the rest of the night off and put the kids to bed in a little bit. He really is a great man and does so much most of the time. I guess he's allowed his tantrums just as I am. I really do understand when it happens. If the least of my worries is whining and sulking- I'm a lucky wife!
Headache
HOT!
twitchy
feeling weird and out of it
emotional
slight ringing in my ears
