where has the time gone????

Well, Friday was Morgan's 6th B-day. It sure doesn't seem like she should be 6 already. She had a little b-day party with some of her friends here at the house. She informed me last night that she wants to go through her toys and things and donate some of them to a charity. She says she isn't a baby anymore so some of the things need to go. She is outgrowing Strawberry Shortcake and she is moving into the Hannah Montana stage. We had a good day yesterday with friends visiting. Our neighbors stopped by after the party and we all visited for a couple of hours. We are blessed yet again with good neighbors.

Well, last night I thought I did something to my wrist because I couldn't even move it I was in pain. Today I decided I didn't do anything to it I am having a flare up of my rheumatoid arthritis. I woke up with the wrist hurting, my feet were really bad and I had a couple of fingers that are really bad too. I knew when I had to have Jason hook my bra for me because my wrist wouldn't let me do it that I was in trouble. I had a hard time walking till like 2 this afternoon. Jason said I looked like an old lady walking up the stairs to get Morgan in her class at church today. I guess I will just have to admit I am getting old...... or at least my joints are. I need to start exercising to strengthen my muscles to give me added support for all those joints. I need to work out on an elliptical machine or something to make sure to keep my weight from going up because every extra pound on the feet and knees will just add to the pain. I have that high cholesterol too and I think I said before the exercise is all that will help me now. It is all a double edged sword though. I need to start exercising because my joints stiffen when I don't use them but it hurts to exercise so that is hard too. My mom has arthritis really bad and she does better with it when she goes to the gym so I know if I can force myself to go it will help me. Well, I have "vented" enough for now :-)

I hope you all had a great weekend. Back to the grind in the morning........
