Awe. I'm sorry you have to suffer through that. I know it can be hard to take care of people when you are in so much pain and so tired. But at least kids can be fun, stressful, but fun, silly oh my gosh silly. kids are hard at times but so freaking sweet and amazing; little bundles of cuteness.
reading a book to them is the best. Snuggling close and seeing them getting into stories.
Hi...I think any woman who has Fibro + and has young children deserve a medal!!.....I hope your children are old enough to understand that sometimes mummy needs to rest as she has "achy bones" which is what my grandchildren call my fibro + but they are 8 and 10yrs. If they are with me they sit on my bed and we do stuff like quizzes and wordsearches and it certainly works...this week they wanted to learn to knit!!! Thank goodness I gave all my stuff away. I have a feeling that wouldn't be very restful. Anyway keep on carrying on and one day we all may wake up with NO PAIN!!! Take care......Trikki
