You're Killin' Me Smalls

Today was a complete son of a bitch of a day.  I fell asleep at 6 am.  That was my bed time for last night.  My darling little Princess of a daughter woke my up at 10:30 and my body reminded me that I have a demon living in side of me.
Everyone has those days where everything you touch turns in to flaming piles of dog shit, I know.  2 PM found me throwing a literal temper tantrum in my back yard and then I came in and threw things.  A lot of them.  Rule #1 as a Lupie.  DON'T GO OFF YOUR CRAZY MEDS!   I have a date with my Cymbalta first thing tomorrow morning  tomorrow afternoon when I get up.

So when did the switch over happen here between being a Princess Mommy, and a Lupus Warrior Princess?  About a year ago I was diagnosed with SLE.  This winter has been rough!
I've known for over 6 years that something wasn't right with my body, it just takes finding the right Doctor and having blood work done at exactly the right time to get something done.

The last week has found it almost impossible to keep up with little Miss Princess.  I'm just Tired.  I'm so tired that my tired is tired.  Am I letting myself rest?  Um, that would be a no.  Instead I'm letting myself do too much, get pissed at the world and self medicating with pretzels and coffee!
Lupie Rule #2: Don't be too fucking STUPID to ask for help.

Well, she's asleep, and what am I doing?  Sitting in my office with the lights out tapping away on my key board because the 3 year old isn't clamoring for attention, the dog isn't barking, Girl 1 has finally stopped running up and down the steps and I can sit here with a clear head to pour out some of the amazing ideas that I've had running through my brain all day. HA!  Where did they go?  Oh yeah!  I forgot them all because #lupussucks.
Lupie Rule #3:  Take notes or your moments of brilliance could be lost FOREVER

Feel the Earth Shake

By
"Two earth quakes and a kajillion after shocks in 2 days and i didn't feel a damn thing. I guess i should consider myself lucky, but dammit, I could have at least felt a little bitty rumble." blog post started by me on January 8, 2010. I got busy doing something else and logged off. Then we have the Haiti disaster and I feel awful for even thinking that, much less putting the thought out there. I'm bitching about not feeling a itty bitty earth quake and those people are fighting to survive after not only feeling the big one, but losing everything that they own. I am going to say that I am ashamed of myself for whining over choosing to leave things behind when we moved....I have the ability to get new things, and I brought what was important with me, family photos, mementos, antiques, my favorite clothing, gifts from my husband that I would never part with, even the clothes that I burned in.....and my husband and children. I am ashamed of whining abou...

Mommy Meltdown

By
So, last Friday my 9 week old Princess Baby came down with a cold. I swear to bejesus that she picked it up at Walmart. I can tell you the exact moment in Tuesday we walked by a man chewing on a cough drop. I remember saying to my husband, "hold your breath, that dude is sick!" As I threw the blanket over the baby's head and hurried away. Friday comes and she is so congested! I called her doc and since she bad no fever or green snot and she was eating like a horse they said not to bring her in.  The next thing I know, it is Sunday and her Daddy says "uhoh I'm getting her cold!" I told him he is full of shit, you can't catch a cold from a baby!!!! Ummmmm....I was wrong. Yes I said it. I will even repeat it. I was wrong.  The little shit has infected my whole house, except for me.  Both of her sibs are now sniffling their heads off, loading themselves up with cold meds with dear old dad. Everyone being sick means that I had zero help with the baby m...

Trump Passes law That Includes Over $14 Million for Lupus Research!

By
SEP. 28, 2018 President Signs Bill Providing $14 Million for Lupus Research President Donald J. Trump signed into law today a fiscal 2019 spending package that includes more than $14 million in new funding specifically for lupus research and education. The House of Representatives and Senate already approved the spending bill, which also provides a significant funding boost to a record $39.1 billion for biomedical research through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The spending package combines the Fiscal Year 2019 Department of Defense (DoD) Appropriations bill with the Fiscal Year 2019 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (LHHS) Appropriations bill. For more details on how this spending bill impacts lupus research and education, please read our earlier post, House Sends Lupus Research Funding to President’s Desk. This funding victory would not have been possible without the efforts of our lupus advocates from across the country, the Congressional Lupus C...
