Life

It's been almost a month since my last post. Why? I am not sure... each time I sit down at the computer and think I may write something... I don't. I feel distracted and overwhelmed; like my mind and fingers aren't working at the same time. That's partially because I have been having a lot of unexplainable pain and numbness on my left side, especially my elbow, hand, and fingers (maybe my carpal tunnel acting up, but that doesn't explain my shoulder, hip, and leg).

Also, I've been busy this summer. Between family things (picnics, birthdays, parties) and church and friend activities, swim lessons and Andy building a shed... we haven't had much of a breather this summer. Not how I had invisioned it when I was looking forward to summer last spring.

The girls are growing and learning so much each day. They bring us so much joy! Don't get me wrong, they are also a lot of work, but worth every bit of it.

I guess that I've been overwhelmed and worried (obviously I should read Philippians 4 a bit more... I read it last night and it was a good reminder to me about worrying less and praying more) about my questionable health issues and a bit apprehensive to begin our homeschool journey. I know it's the right thing for us this year and I have all the resources I need, but I just need to get started and see for myself that it's going to be a good fit for us. So now I am officially rambling.... see why I haven't blogged in a while? I'll be back with some photos of our summer fun... hopefully soon.

I did have one cool additon to my blog this summer... the playlist. I was oh so proud of myself for figuring it out and getting it to work... on my own. I've said many times before that I am not the most computer savvy chick on the block, so that was a nice accomplishment!

Hi there,

I followed you here from The Rockstars blog. I just wanted to tell you that I had a bunch of weird symptoms: hands felt 'paralyzed' for a few minutes one night, arms felt too weak to lift one other night, one hand felt lifeless one nigh, I had tingles on and off all over my body etc. It was freaky and I thought MS. I had never been to a chiropractor and someone suggested I go. I went twice a week for weeks and that toned down to once a week, and then down to once a month etc. That was five years ago. When he proddded gently on one spot on my right upper shoulder blade area it hurt. It turned out I had a 'tight' spot from years of 'clenching' my shoulder during stress. It was scary, but turned out to be fixable. Have you thought of a chiropractor?

Blessings and prayers, Justine
