Mood Swings anyone?

So Easter may have been a wash but yesterday was pretty damn cool if I do say so myself.  I was sad about being dumb and missing out on stuff with the kids but yesterday, I was ready and we did the Easter Egg Hunt.... of course...3 eggs are missing. I don't know about you, but we are always missing eggs every year. lol

We got stuff done!  The yard was a mess. Because I had to move dressers into closets we lost closet space that was for storage which meant when I emptied out our storage after we figured out we weren't moving a lot of stuff had no place to go inside. But now with my new method of storing the kids clothes and using the dressers that are still functional for our clothes.  Room was made and stuff was cleaned and put away outside. 

We also removed all the bricks from around the roses and trees.  We haven't put them back yet because we ran out of time but they are ready to dig the dirt out and re-set. See I live in the desert where the wind blows dirt freely and continuously.  So it has built up in the rings of the trees and roses. We have to get them dug out, plus this year we are adding a drip system.  I'm also going to have the kids help me plant some flower seeds. It's going to be a homeschool project.  I have a book on the environment I've been dying to incorporate so we will work on that. 

The weather has been really weird. Sunny one day, crappy the rest. I think it's contributing to my pain.  Sucks, but what can I do? That reminds me. I don't mind any suggestions or ideas for what other people take for the pain.  I need to be functional and I think the lack of being able to do things on some days is also messing with my head.   I've started taking iron for my anemia (which from what I read can be caused by RA too) so my stomach has been in turmoil. Bah. 

I should be getting health insurance within the next month now that I know my agency lied to  misinformed me about health insurance, but that is a post for another day.

My mom has terrible arthritis and swears by magnets. A lot of people think it is kooky but she says the magnets reduce her level of pain and swelling.

Tara used to have a lot of pain with her cerebral palsy (she can only feel extreme pain) and swears by the chiropractor. She sees someone who does the Gonstead technique which finds the hot spots in your body that are inflamed and strategically cracks you to reduce inflammation. She used to be in a wheel chair but now she runs and jumps and does nearly anything.

I have no idea if either of these might help you, but they are both extremely cheap.
