Communication is key in any relationship..but especially when dealing with this! Because we dont look sick from the outside..Its in the inside where you feel like you cant function! ...Im sure you'll accomplish all that..But dont beat yourself up if you cant just yet..Especially when theres flare ups..forget it ..This is when I get so mad at myself that I cant get out of bed..Its hard but not impossible..There are days when your going to feel like what the heck...Why does'nt my body function like my mind does..U know cause in our mind where like ..yea shopping ...soccer mom..blah blah..but then your so tired..its like hello!! But its not cause your lazy or dont care about your honey or kids..THis what we all go Through...We all feel the same way..I cant even drive down the street cause Im so exhausted...I feel like a failure sometimes but I know Im not..Us as woman we carry alot of weight on our shoulders..
But stay strong...You'll be ok!!

Hi Summer!,
Here's a hug for you because I understand how you're feeling. Our weather here just got even worse (it's now 28 degrees at 10a.m., 1 inch of snow & still falling, & wind gusts of 30m.p.h.) so my RA is screaming at me. I too am very blessed & when my emotions get going I try hard to keep things under control (crying, yelling, self pity) because my hubby does all that he can to help out; he's currently working 74 to 80 hours a week & his commute is 1 hour each way so he has a lot of stress & the Good Lord knows he doesn't need me adding any. Like Michelle says you are so exhausted & in so much pain & you try to be a good wife & mother but it is such a feat. Anytime you or anyone else needs a hug just send out a post because we are here for you. Take care & God Bless
