Ok, you play, you pay...

ouch.

I had a nice out last night, had school this morning, took my little girl to bowling this afternoon, and sat out in the cold on metal bleachers watching my older daughter play her senior "Powder Puff" flag football game tonight.

did I say OWWW?

I am very blessed to have these things to do and people in my life to do for and with, and so I'm not complaining.... but I guess one could say I overdo it, and I pay the price. My bod' hurts so badly! My leg is not picking up right, my hands are cramping and imprecise, ... I just hurt! And I'm SO weary!

Pacing ourselves is not always easy to accomplish!

OUCHY cold hard metal bleachers ! Sometimes we do things just to feel "normal" and then we pay. I think sometimes I forget I'm "handicapped" and just act "normal." When the pain strikes me I painfully remember...I agree it's not easy to pace oursleves considering the fast paced lives we used to lead.

Narey...we all can relate to what you are saying and bless your heart for being a trooper and doing these things for your family! You are such a great Mom and I admire what you are saying here....we want so much to do these things and when we overdue...we pay!

I like how you said everything in your post....you weren't complaining as you feel blessed to be able to do these things and yet you ARE hurting.....VENT away...this is what friends are for and I admire you for being so positive for your kids. Pacing is one of the hardest things to do with this Fibro....and I really have great empathy for those of you with children. Your friend~Tory
