Mommy's Broken: Life with Lupus: Off

Off

I worked my 1st closing shift... It went well, the boys I worked with were really trying to make sure I knew how to close. I am fighting with a pinched nerve in my shoulder and the need for some new shoes... shine splints SUCK!
I am going to try to watch a movie tomorrow in the theater... The last time I tried to do this I ended the night not remembering most of it... having had like 5 seizures... Other than that I am looking forward to seeing "Twilight". I am almost done reading the book... it is a good book, kinda shallow, but good.

My wife and I are planning to see Twilight tonight. I was a fan of the Anne Rice Vampire books and I just watched the season finale of "True blood". From what I've heard, this movie is doing very well. It was sold out at our local theater on friday and saturday.

Why Mommy's Broken?

I have two little girls. Trying to get them to understand that Mommy isn't like all the other Mommies is much harder than you'd think. Doing it while trying not to scare them is even harder. I wanted to give them something they would understand on their level but wouldn't be lost on someone else. So I started by telling them that Mommy was broken, as to not tell them I am sick. Sick people get better, mommy doesn't. There are days when Mommy can get up and run around and do all those wonderful things; But there are days when Mommy has to stay in bed and rest. They have been able to take this information and be at ease about Mommy not being 'normal' or 'healthy'. Now I have a new challange of trying to let them know that mommy is not going to get to live as long as most other people. Telling your kids you are going to die is alot harder than you'd think.
