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

The Supermom Phenomenon

By
The baby is crying (she is hungry), phone is ringing, someone is at the door.  Shake up the bottle with one hand while you hold the baby under your arm, phone to your ear with the other hand, while peeking out around the curtains.  One needs her hair brushed, one cant find his phone.  Hubby needs a pair of socks....baby is crying again (wet this time).  Stop in the laundry room on the way to change the baby, fill a hamper with clean clothes from the dryer while listening for the baby.  Give the man his socks.  DAMN I have to pee!!!  Do it later, gotta change the baby. Time to cook dinner.  Baby is crying (this time she she sleepy).  Fix a bottle, swaddle baby and get her to sleep.  Just enough time to fix dinner, fix the boy and girl their plates......then guess who is awake.  DAMN I am hungry!  Eat later, gotta play with the baby.  Hubby is finished eating, so grab a plate and  shovel it in quick before she cries A...

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.

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.
