On days like today.
Freezing rain and sleet.
No school today. With a husband who
teaches, and a kid in school this means a day off. Right now my 23 year old daughter is living
at home and she is the biggest kid of all.
“We have to go sledding”. She
asked everyone one in the house. My 16
year old didn’t want to and my husband didn’t want to, so I told her I would
go. It is 27 degrees outside. Brrrr
By the time I get ready, everyone in the house decides to
go. So here we go. Out in the ice to sled on our make shift
sled. The sled is really just a piece of
old tin from the shed outside that my husband formed to a sled years ago to
take the kids on the ice. We don’t
really get snow here in Texas. J So off we go for the perfect hill. I love to see the smile on my girls
faces. I love the joy on their face. It is so hard on me and my body though. Ugh. I
have to get my inhaler and these old aching bones. The cold is not nice to a diabetic or a
patient with Raynaud’s syndrome. This
cold and even walking is so hard, but you go, because you love your family
so.
ON days like today, I hate my diseases most. I hate the fact that at 43 years old I am
unable to do things that most people my age can do. It really isn’t self-pity, or maybe it
is. I would love to enjoy the time more
fully with the kids. For now, I just
enjoy any minute that I get and love them with all that I am. My family makes it all worth it. I am so glad I have them.
Have a great day!
