So the stomach bug missed Ryan and I again. BUT, I've been sick anyway. I probably haven't mentioned it on here, because I don't want to complain about it, but I have fibromyalgia. For anyone not familiar with fibromyalgia- it SUCKS!! I currently take 2 anti-depressants and Lyrica to try to keep it under control. I also supplement with a daily multi-vitamin, Vitamin D, and magnesium. Then there are the actual pain medications. When I'm not popping pills, I am at my Dr's office and then at the chiropractors once a week. I try anything I can to find relief, including massage and acupuncture. Jealous yet?! Oh, did I forget to mention the migraines?

With all of that, I am fortunate enough that I don't spend every day in pain. I seem to be in a cycle right now of every couple of weeks. If it's not the migraines, then it's the pain and extreme fatigue. This past week has been a combination of both. It started with a migraine on Sunday. Then it evolved into the horrible fatigue. Trust me, this isn't the kind of tired that taking a little nap will take care of. I can sleep all day. Doing a load of laundry is hard work

Right now, I'm just really frustrated and venting. I apologize if this whole post is depressing. It just sucks so much when my 4 year old son says "Mommy, you never feel good". Seriously heartbreaking for me.

The stomach bug has entered the building...AGAIN!! This is getting old. Griffin woke up last night just before midnight after throwing up.....in his bed. About 1/2 hour after getting everything cleaned up and his bed changed, he did it again. The bed was spared this time, the carpet, not so much. Luckily for him, that was the end of it. He has been quiet all day and resting, but no more throwing up. Of course, he couldn't go to daycare and no one else wants a sick kid, so I had to stay home with him. Guess who is feeling a little funky now? I am praying that it's just coincidence and that I'll be fine. My friend is having a St Patty's party tomorrow night and I have been looking forward to it all week. Even going as far as spending $50 on completely obnoxious party wear. I will be extremely disappointed if I don't get to wear the shamrock headband and suspenders!

My new Birchbox came in the other day. I haven't had a whole lot of time to dive into it, but it looks like there a few interesting things in there. I'm still using stuff from the last 2, including the Vichy products. Still love them and highly recommend them.
