Family Fun

I was able to make it the entire three hours of church today. I was really excited to be there with my family. It was so wonderful just to be there. I took a pillow and used it for the back of my chair, the pressure from the back of chairs push on my lungs and cause additional pain and pressure. My hope is to be able to try and not overdo on Friday or Saturday so that Sunday I am not in a severe flare-up. Having this condition has really made me aware of my limits. I am learning what I need to do and not do in order to not cause additional flares. My biggest problem is that I still try to push it when I have good days which then causes bad days. It is a work in progress.

After church all my children came over. It was so fun to watch my kids have fun with each other. It was getting dark and they all decided it would be fun to race one another. Our oldest son, C'Jay, age 23 challenged Shaniah, our youngest, (age 15) that he could win her any day in a race. Niah has been playing lacrosse and has been working out 2 times a day for swim team. It was funny to watch them challenge each other in a race. It wasn't long before Kaylee (age 22, who recently had a baby 5 weeks ago), and J'Dee (age 18), and Bubba (Kay's hubby, age 23) all decided to join in on the fun and join this race. It was dark and I got out the video camera and turned on night vision just to record the fun. We teased and laughed as we watched everyone literally try to kill themselves just to win a race. There was tripping over dogs, racing around trees, and taking shortcuts just to win the races. Amazingly no one was injured during these nighttime races! It wasn't until after the racing that J'Dee did not watch where he was walking and stepped off of the porch and sprained his ankle. All in all is was a fun night even though it ended with a minor injury we still made some really Family Fun memories.
