It's all good! :o)

Yesterday morning, I woke up at 2:30 a.m. It was non stop all day. My daughter and her boy friend were coming up, and my son's girl friends play was yesterday as well. I got my shower and dressed, and my daughter finally came! :o) It was so good to see her again! :o) Her boy friend bought her a new car, for when the baby comes, they will have a car that will be dependable. :o) It's so nice! She gave me a ride around town in it, and I loved it. It's an 2001 Eclips. My mom came over as well. We all were going to see the play. By this time, it was around 1:00 p.m. We sat up in the balcony, because the seats below were the metal folding chairs. I knew I wouldn't be able to sit in one, without having a lot of pain afterwards. But, I did anyways. :o(  I felt so bad, because I had to leave early. I did get to see his girl friend though. :o) I feel the lack of sleep, and my legs dangling for such a long time, made my back hurt very bad! I spent some time with my mom and my daughter and boy friend. I took some photo's of her. She still doesn't have a belly on her yet. I had her weigh herself while she was here, and she had lost 2 more pounds in a week. :o( I've never seen her so thin. She still gets nauseated. This pregnancy is really putting a toll on her. :o( My mom seemed to be worried about my other sister, and went ahead and left. I'm glad I made chili for everyone after the play, because it made me feel better that everyone got to eat before they left. I was going to send some home with my mom, but I didn't get a chance to. I wished she could have had more time to spend with my daughter, though. I know we don't get to see her that often. Oh well. It was good to see her and her boy friend. :o) Getting to know him is really going to be a great thing! He's so happy with my daughter. And seeing it, made me happy as well. :o) I can't believe how he takes her mood swings in such stride! :o) Which is very good! They took some of her things back with them, and I gave them some chili to take home. I could tell, when they were getting ready to leave, that my daughter had had a full day, and really needed to rest. The poor thing. By then, my body was in full pain! I tried not to show how much pain I was really in. My back was in so much pain, I could hardly move. My hips, legs, ankles, feet, neck, and arms were all hurting! Then, I got a really bad headache! On top of all of that! OUCHIE! I went to bed at 9:30 last night. It was so sweet, my husband was giving me gentle hugs, and rubbing my back. :o) He could tell how much I was hurting. Thats all I wanted to know. He even tucked me in bed, and tried rubbing my back. Just feeling his hands on my back hurt. Even though it was very light touches. :o( But the thought of him trying was so sweet of him. :o) I slept all through the night, and didn't wake up until 6:20! YAY! I did it! I woke up with a very bad headach that could go into a migrane at any time right now. :o( I did take something for it, but, you just never know. My physical therapist will be coming today. I can't wait. My mom and sister will be coming over today as well. Before I end this....Sweetie, we are really looking forward to you two coming back up for another visit!! :o) We are not anything like the your dad. :o) Well, you know that one! lol :o)

Was that sleep I had?

Yesterday wasn't a very good day, to say the least, with pain. :o( I had so much planned to do. With no sleep, I get pain. I couldn't even walk without my walker. :o( I was doing so well. Eh...life goes on. I did get one thing accomplished that I wanted to do. I made a batch of Toll House cookies. :o) And, I don't think I burned myself either! :o) My sister that moved away, and now has come back, came with her kids last night for a visit. It was one of the best visits that I've had with her in I'd say years! :o) She didn't ask for information on anyone. She came to visit us! It was really so good to see the kids. It's been a few months shy of a year, since I last saw the two younger ones. They've really grown. If she can come over and be the way she was last night, and not ask me any info on any one, then I won't mind her visiting. :o) After that, we got a pizza, and my husband and I watched shows about haunted places. That was pretty cool! I feel so badly for him as well. He's sick like me, and he was packing most of the day. :o( I went to bed at 11:00. And I woke up because of pain. :o( Darn it! My left hip and knee was hurting so bad, I couldn't stand it! So, I got up at 2:30 a.m. Oh well. My daughter and her boy friend are coming up today! YAY! I want to get some film for my camera. She's been wanting chili, so thats what I'm going to make for supper. :o) My son's girl friend is in a play today as well. We are all going to go see it. :o) So, today sounds like it should be a good day! Just hoping that I don't have this pain.

Isn't sleep a part of life?

I'm up again! The only thing that I can think of that is doing this is too much on my mind lately. :o( Even though my husband and I have been talking about so many things every night, it's not helping. It's not like we sit around and talk about all bad stuff. I don't know. With having fibromyalgia, the doctors always tell you to try to sleep more, and stay away from stress! Uh...Yea..right! HOW? I know thats the sorce of the pains I've been having. Of course my back, my hips, my knees, and my right thigh, and neck and right shoulder. :o( I was doing so good. But, I'm not going to let this stop me from working on getting better. On top off all of that, I have the flu. I can't seem to keep anything in my stomach. Everyone in the house has it. Yuk! `Tis the season! I guess I'll try to find something to do that might bore me to get tired. :o)

......life?

I'm not going to bother writing today about anything in my life. And about the progress of my fibromyalgia.

Got sleep!

I finally went to bed at 5:30 yesterday morning. I was able to sleep until 11 something. Last night was a normal night. Boy am I glad! With no sleep, on top of my stress, my pain would be ten times worse now. My back, shoulders, hips, arms, neck, and I had the shakes, all yesterday. Not a good thing. I had problems gripping things again. The shaking doesn't help that at all...it just helps knock everything out of my hands. My eye sight was very poor. But, I expected that. It was a nice and quite day. The evening went very good for once. Nothing bad or stupid happened! YAY! :o) I was also able to take care of a few people that have been on me, which has been very stressful for me. I was able to talk with reason to them, and they have stopped, and left me alone! 2 down, more to go. I really don't like it when people keep on me about my own ideas. Or, my own opinions. They are mine. Thats it. Over. Thats how I feel, and everyone else should be able to have their own feelings as well, as long as you don't push them onto me. I heard from my daughter. She's starting to do alittle bit better with her sickeness. She has made it through 2 days of work this week. I guess thats all. Bye!

Can't sleep....!

I'm up! Can't sleep again! This will surely help my pain, and my cold/flu! I have so much on my mind, I'm sure thats why I can't. When my son was young, and he had things on his mind, he would tell me that he had, "race cars" in his head, and he needed to talk about things, to get rid of them. Thats exactly what it's like! He nailed that one on the head! I can't close my eyes, and not have 50 things racing around in my mind! I honestly don't know how to get rid of some of them. My husband and I talked about most of them tonight, and he has seen and has agreed on why I feel the way I do. We've been talking a lot lately. Whic has helped me a lot. :o)  I'm in a lot of pain as well. Why not? Why don't other people understand that when you tell them, "You don't need a lot of stress!" because the fibromyalgia pain will act up real fast, they don't listen? My son and I had a good talk tonight as well. So that situation is under control now. I've talked to almost everyone now. The others will have to be at another time. I did pack a few more boxes earlier. It doesn't seem like it's all that much left to pack now. I really thought since this is a big house, that it would take forever! I was wrong. :o) My mom came over today. She could only stay for a few minutes, but it was still nice to see her. I hope she gets the job she's been wanting. :o) Well, from the looks of this, I'll be up for awhile. :o( Now, my day tomorrow will be painful. No sleep, and stress, what a mix for pain! :o( It would be nice to be able to get out of this house maybe a day or two a week! Instead of hearing about it!!! It feels like a slap in the face! Thanks to all that do that to me! Just because I have "whatever" doesn't mean I'm not still me! Unless I'm an embarresment. Oh well! I guess no one realizes how much it hurts me. Or, don't even care. I guess thats the price everyone that has a medical problem, has to deal with. I hope not. I know I have really gotten "hard" since all of this. It's not the medical problem, it's seeing the world pass you bye, and everyone else. So...bye!

blah blah blah

I just got done packing more boxes from the upstairs. I over heated again. Whats new? My back is killing me, my hip hurts, and I have the shakes now. I was able to get a few hours of sleep last night. I woke up around 5:15 this morning. I had a hard time getting to sleep. I really have so much on my mind. If I wrote it, I'd have pissed off people! I'll keep it to myself. The only thing that I'm able to write is, I'm still worried about my daughter. She lost 5 more pounds in 2 weeks! This is the thinest that she's ever been. Her doctor gave her some pills to help on her nausea's tummy. I hope that helps her. I would love to know, "Why do people say one thing, and then, do another?" Don't they realize how that hurts others? Well, I just answered my own question. Nope! If they did, they wouldn't do it! They don't lose sleep over it. All I want to do today is sleep the day away. I'm just so "tired" of certain things, and broken promises. Thats life! blah blah blah.....
