The very wonderful big guy let me sleep in this morning. Thank goodness. I worked last evening so I got home around midnight- which was actually around 11PM- but I have not been sleeping lately due to some new medication I am taking.

As I told you in my previous post- they diagnosed me with MS over the summer- so this week my neurologist started me on an anticonvulscent… Topamax. While some of you may take this with no issues for migraines or mood disorders, remember that I already live with numbness, foggy head, word dropping and extreme dizziness. Sooo…. these new side effects are not a welcome addition to my life. I also worked all evenings this week so I did not sleep that well. What the hell was my point? Oh yeah…I slept in and I came down the basement to the fam playing Rock Band.

By the way my girls totally have my voice (remind me to apologize for that later).  After watching them play for about an hour, I requested that we go outside and play as I am going back to work this evening and you know darn well they will be back down here in the dungeon playing games.

What did I get for my wonderful request of “lets go outside and play and take a walk and have some fun”?

“Mommmmmmmmmmmmmm, nooooooooooooooooooo, we are playing with daddy and having fun. You’re soooooo boring! ”

Well thanks is what I have to say.  Why do I even try sometimes. My kids play soccer, basketball and indoor swim team currently so it is not like they are not active. I just get all paranoid that one day of video games will be the end all. I guess I should just relax. Maybe it is my mood, maybe it is my medication, maybe it is just me….

For the record, I let it go and walked back up the steps to take my own walk in the leaves.
