Mom needs a diet

Medicine is not working. Medicine is supposed to work. Medicine failed me. So I need to find an alternative. I need to try a diet. But what diet will take away my pain and make me whole. Unless I remove everything but nuts and berries I may trigger the animal that is RA? So what are my options?

World what are my options?

On a side note - I miss my babies!

Oh Facebook!

I eat, sleep, and drink babies but I yearn for moments that I can have alone with Facebook. Facebook provides that outlet, that much needed 'Yes! There are people out there!' feedback that I crave! It is a grand love affair, I am sure. But it is a love affair that must stop. Well, must stop to the extent that I currently attend. There are grander and more pressing matters to attend to - like this blog!?

Oh Internet you have reduced me to the state of an addict! Tap! Tap! Tap! Inject!

The Ambit Solution!

Happiness and joy - two sentiments one would normally associate with giving birth - were intermingled with sadness and trepidation. Fear wove its way into the fabric silently and heavily. I was torn asunder by the information. I felt defeated.

Tears fell silently as I contemplated life in a wheel chair. Would Rheumatd Arthritis truely remove me from the equation? Would I be unable to experience the beauty of motherhood - the first steps, the night time cuddles, playtime in the park? Would my children be left with a shell of a mother? Would they be the ones caring for me during the most formative years of their lives? 

Fast forward two years and I am still haunted by the condition. I am still unable to work and provide for my children in the way that I had always planned. I am still removed from the equation. I am still not me. Well, not the me that I was used to. But did this mean that I would be unable to provide for my children in any way?

With this attitude, I worked with my partner and my love to come up with an alternative. I worked with him to discover a new means of providing for my children - Ambit Energy was that solution. Ambit Energy gave me the means to provide for my children without having to move a muscle. Not only was I able to earn an income, but I was able to save hundreds on my monthly gas and electric bill. 

Ambit Energy is my glimmer of hope for a better future. Through Ambit I will live more, I will be more.

Mother I am!

Diaper changed? Check!
Potty flushed? Check!
Bottles made? Check! 
Vomit uprising thwarted? Double check!
Diaper changed again? Check
Mommy hugs given and re-given? Check, check, and triple check!

Alone time? Computing!
Relaxation? Still computing!
Yoga session? Really! Canceled!
Life devoted to babies? Ding! Ding! Ding!

The alarms ring daily at 7:30am when He begins to cry! She begins to stir and her head pops up shortly thereafter! Looking around bleary eyed she stretches and immediately begins to scream! Her screams are like those of a banshee - full of woe and threatening an expulsion of the contents remaining within her stomach. There is no sleeping through this chaos! They have won! And I eagerly give in to their needs! 

-- Despite my morning defeat! I have not lost! Rather, I am victorious! For I am mother! Mother I am!
