A Lyme Mommy

Stiff joints, blurry vision and body aches consume my body, every morning. I feel like I can’t move, bend or do anything until my body finally “wakes up”. I feel like I am in this never ending fog of sickness. As I push myself to get out of bed. Two crying babies await for a diaper change and breakfast. While the oldest two are “jumping off the walls”, bored from summer vacation. Yet the day has yet to begin. A whole to-do list awaits me. So all I can think is why me? How am I going to make it through another day?  Why did I have to contract Lyme Disease? How am I going raise 4 children under age 8? Then I remind myself that I cannot give up. That I must keep fighting to get better, to achieve the happiness and success I deserve. Because if I question the bad, I must question the good. I must question everything, but I won’t. I know things happen for a reason. So I continue to push forward to beat this Lyme. To be a Lyme Mommy that four little people will look up to.
