Today is a bleak, dreary, rainy day. It's days like this that make me want to lay down with a cup of coffee/hot cocoa/glass of something, a book, and just chill. Sadly, it's not a possibility with kids home on summer break. They are old enough that they don't need to be entertained, but not quite old enough to be left to their own devices.
I know I'm not alone when I say days like this just suck the life right out of me. And it's not exclusively an MS thing, either, as I know lots of other people who feel this way.
Today I wasn't lucky enough to escape the weather headache, but it's not a migraine, so that's a plus.
Today is also a foggy day inside my head. I can't seem to follow a thought through to the end of what I meant. Hence the choppiness of my post. I hope you'll give me the indulgence of bearing with me.
Today is also a challenging eye day. I was reading another blog that is white writing on a black background, and it took me forEVer to finish reading it, because all the letters seemed to jumble together. Mine is black on white, and it's not much better.
Today is also a day of extreme fatigue and extreme heaviness in my limbs. I guess that's where wanting to curl up with a book and a beverage comes in to play.
Today, I laughed with my kids, and because of my kids. They can be very entertaining at times. I love the hypothetical questions my son poses. “If I took my spine out, would I be able to fit under doors?”
You'd have to remove your entire skeletal system.
“But then I could?”
Yes, you'd be able to tie your legs into a bow.
“COOOOOL!”
We stopped at a coffee place earlier and I got the kids assorted stuff, like juice, bagels and of course mama got coffee. I love how appreciative they were. “Thank you SO much” “You're the best mom ever” “How do you always KNOW so much”
I'm grateful we can afford the little splurges now and again, and I'm grateful that my kids know to appreciate it.
I guess today isn't such a miserable day after all.
