This is my blog. Being a mother is a full time job. Having fibromyalgia is a full time job.
So being a mother with fibromyalgia is like having two full time jobs.
That's a lot of work. Trying to juggle the needs of everyone in our family takes a lot of problem solving skill, thinking outside the box and planning. It's not easy- it can be frustrating, exhausting, sometimes funny and amazing.
It takes a ridiculous amount of communicating and teamwork. And emotional honesty.
Most days are about survival. But occasionally the gods smile upon us and the stars align themselves and some magic happens.
There is a constant under lying element of stress- which I think only a family with an ill person- can understand.
This can make us feel alone. Although we know others are out there- like us. We are just too
tired to meet them.
So it is my hope for this blog- to share what it's like in our little corner of the universe.
Maybe it will help someone else. Maybe it will be a comfort to someone and us. Maybe we might learn something.
So farewell 2013, and here we come 2014!
