It is late ... or should I say early morning .... I am up to help my husband with the show dogs ... eat a little breakfast together ... take my endless medications and then go to bed ... I have the second shift!

 

The night watch I call it ... all sorts of creeking sounds in the house ... repeats of the news from earlier today are my companions .... my husband's alarm clock going off ... it starts again .... another day .... another prayer .....

 

"WHERE IS THE MAGIC PILL?"

 

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am so tired of being tired ... I am so tired of having to ask for help .... they say "Pride goeth before the fall "....... I fall allot !!

 

Best time of  the day .... after Steven is off to work .. the dogs are pottied and fed ... the select comfort bed (thank GOD for Select Comfort Beds) is set to the correct number ... all my pills are in me and hopefully working .... I drift off to sleep ... for a few hours .... maybe 6 .... when for a brief moment I awake and stretch ... not yet putting my feet on the floor ... I think "yep ...No RA here .. it has just been a dream!" ....

 

Then I put my feet on the floor ....

 

No Dream ..... Reality hits!!

 

Thank God for the medications ... thank God for the people who make the medications ... I have a high pain threshold but even that has it's limits!  Thank God for my Steven ...and the doggies ...the dog friends that I train ... otherwise .. I would have no reason to get out of my bed!!

 

Ok...enough whining .... the alarm is about to go off again ....
