Pain & Profanity

Been MIA around here lately.

Dealing with massive fibro flare.

Doc informed me I'm presenting with thoracic outlet syndrome as well as fibro.

Another pain disorder.

Yay. (note the sarcasm there?)

Shit, shit, shit!

Just what I need.

More pain, less gain.

Fibro causes complications with exercise

which is quite a shame considering endorphin release helps pain

and exercise helps release endorphins.

So what's a girl to do?

Sex.

Yup. I said it.

Sex.

Ever notice how a good roll in the hay (temporarily) takes pain away?

If they have learned to bottle serotonin and melotonin,

how come no one has invested in the bottling of endorphin?

Ca-ching!!!!

Do I hear a money maker?

Then again, one would have to be sure to make them time release capsules.

We wouldn't want the whole world walking around with silly grins,

craving a smoke,

wanting to cuddle!

or would we?!?!?!!!

(best silly grin representation I could find in my files on the fly... tee hee!)

Say What?!?!

I've been thinking lately,
or at least trying to.
I have fibromyalsia
which often causes me to live in "fibro fog".
I'm also mom to four with "mom brain".
I struggle with organization,
remembering things and focusing.
Do you think I would be diagnosed
as a classic case of ADD?
I was going to look it up
but I keep forgetting to!

Ha ha ha ha! How ironic!

Have a happy and silly Friday!
Life gives us lots to laugh about :)

Gratitude Attitude - Day 12

(28 days to an attitude of gratitude - learn more here)

The first major piece of furniture my husband and I invested a decent amount of money in was the dining room table. We both know the importance of eating at least one meal a day as a family. The quality of time spent sharing, discussing, and nourishing our bodies is irreplaceable in our book. We knew it was an investment in our family, not just as a piece of furniture.

How would we ever have guessed it was also an investment in entertainment. We have game night on the table, entertain family and friends over the table and enjoy the spontaneity and creativity of our children's imaginations at the table. The picture posted above was taken in the summer. My teen was making pancakes one weekend morning and the two little ones happily devoured them decked out in their pj's and swim goggles!

Last night over dinner, we discussed Purple People Eaters. We could not come to a solid conclusion on whether the People Eaters were Purple or if they were of a different color but ate Purple People! Ha! What a fun and silly conversation we found ourselves in without even realizing how silly it really was! I am grateful for my children, their creativity, spontaneity and imaginations. I am grateful they have opened up the magical world of make believe in our home.

Please feel free to share photos and/or stories of spontaneous family moments from your home.
