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
