My First Post :)

Hmmmm…where to start.   Well this is my first official post.   I guess I should start out by letting you know why I decided to start this blog and a little background information.  First off, I decided to start this blog as I thought that sharing my day-by-day stories about living with Rheumatoid Arthritis might help others feel that they are not alone.  Sometimes I just want to know that others feel or have felt the same way that I do…sometimes you need to feel the support of others and know that you are not alone.

It has been a while!

Wow...it has been a while...too long actually since my last post.  I didn't even realize how long it had actually been.  I have been working a lot lately and when I am at home I am usually spending time with the kids...if not...I am sleeping.  Boy...working really does take a toll on your body.  I am tired, achy and more miserable than usual :)  Can't wait until I have some vacation time this summer.  I just want to relax...sleep...maybe do nothing for a couple of days.  On a side note...I still need to make a doctors appointment...that is on my to-do list...that I have to make the time for...I need something.  I really don't like medication...but sometimes that's what I need.  Ugh...back to work I go :( -L
