Mommy's Broken: Life with Lupus

5.20.2012

I want to thank everyone who reads this blog. You guys are wonderful. I have been getting lots of feed back and its very helpful. Its nice to know that people are enjoying this blog.

Happy news we got approved for section 8. Government help for housing. They give us the opportunity to find a place to live and then they help pay the rent. I am not above getting help. As far as SSDI I am not ashamed about getting it. The reason it is there if for people who can't work. If I could work I would. I find enjoyment in a job but I can not work. Physically ther is nothing that I would be able to do for full time employment. Now I am getting to spend time with my daugthers and husban, I couldn't ask for anything better.

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.
