Chocolate
My "hug" to you Erica because your comment is SOOO true! so my way of "getting back" a bit is to eat a lot of chocolate today and when he says "I thought you were on a diet" I will say, "well, since I really dont have much support at home about my RA I went to a support group and they said when I have a bad day to do something I really love to do (which I have been to a support group before and that is what they told me to do) and since I really love to eat chocolate and read and play Cyber Nations with my son that is what I will do!!!! I hope you can use this yourself sometimes my friend!
Thanks
