I love Fridays! Dinner with my hubby and kids is always a plus! Add a few friends in the mix and bang! Great end to a fabulous week!
I was just told this afternoon that I was placed on a committee specifically for my experience and background! Yeah!
I can tell you that today my Rheumatoid Arthritis was kicked in its butt! I walked two miles yesterday and another two miles today! My RA had to take a back seat to stiffness and pain because I have begun to get my exercise routine back! Zumba will begin as well! I am so excited to be able to walk again
The medication has stayed the same: Methotrexate and the sulfursalazine
I haven't had a change to speak to my doctor lately and I will not have an opportunity to get an appointment until my spring break because I will not take time away from my students. I hate having to share them with a substitute...
God has truly blessed me this week! Even though I have had my aches and pains He has brought me home safely each and every day!
I hope to walk two more miles tomorrow and Sunday and then I need to complete Chapter 4 of my dissertation within the next week. In other words, I will be typing all day tomorrow and Sunday! Lots of work but 124 days and I will be graduating!
I will keep today short and sweet! Until the next time, I will pray for you and please continue to pray for me...God Bless and enjoy your weekend...

About Me Continued...
I'm that lady that has so much education that I'm still not done. You know, I have a Master's Degree in Special Education, a Master's Degree in Educational Administration and I'm getting my Doctorate's in Educational Leadership. You know the one that people always ask, "how do you manage with all those kids and working and going to school?" and I always reply, "God is good and He gave me a great husband."I'm the one who quit smoking, on December 31st, 2005. You know me, I'm the one who has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease last year called: Rheumatoid Arthritis. Remember? It's me, the one who asks that you keep praying that God gives me the strength to make it through each and everyday. The one who asks that you pray for my husband and my children that are going through this disease with me. It's me, the one who knows that life is too short and trying to live each and every moment the best way I can. I hope that as I write these words, I can answer who I am. From the words of someone who has already lost their battle with an autoimmune disease, "I believe that, as a culture, we shy away from anything surrounding death and, consequently, deprive ourselves of all the lessons inherent in the dying and grieving process. We ignore the reality that death is as much a part of life as birth." I hope that my posts cover the gamut of human emotions because, as a Puerto Rican, I have always had a "rich" emotional life. While many posts are sad just as many are comical. This is not my version of "The Last Lecture." It is my heart, my thoughts, my joys, and my fears as they unfold along this journey. My hope is that you will find some of it useful on your own life's journey. I hope that sharing my experiences will help not only those struggling with life threatening illnesses, debilitating diseases but also to those who are blessed with their health as well. God Bless you and no matter what happens on this journey, know that I will always keep you in my heart and in my prayers.
