Just another day

Today I am tired. I feel drained of energy, emotion, and motivation. Let me tell you why I am so tired (maybe I'm complaining, but it's my blog so I get to do what I want). ;-)

As much as I love my two wonderful boys, they are a handful. Anyone that has spent anytime with me can attest to that. A 4 year-old and a 2 year-old are a lot, but add into the mix they both have autism and uncontrolable energy and you get a busy day. Right now, Reilly is trying to take a nap. I say trying, because I can hear him jumping in his crib. Sleep my little one!

My parents are getting a divorce. I think this is what took all my emotional energy. It really came out of no where. The short story is my dad decided he didn't love my mom and didn't want to be married, or have responsiblitiy, or basically be a normal human being. My mom filed the paperwork yesterday and in 90 days my parents won't be married anymore. It's even strange to type. I love my mom so much and consider her my very best friend, outside my wonderful hubby. As for my dad? Well, the jury is still out on that.

I'm having the worst arthritis flare in about 10 years. I really don't complain much about my arthritis, because I find it pointless. But, today I am!!! I've been having this flare for about three months. I've started new medication which will hopefully help a bit. While I wait for it to pass, I take nice hot baths, plenty of narcotics, and pray the pain lets up eventually.

Well, that is my complaining blog for the day. Sometimes it just makes you feel better to put your troubles out in the open. Now I can move forward, look out at the beautiful mountains, kiss my screaming child upstairs, and drink a diet coke.

Tuesdays are great.
