I am so very proud of my son. Let me explain.

I have back and neck problems and I am waiting for the State to either approve or not my disability. My doctor says that I am not capable of working or cleaning the house... get a maid she says... Well that won't happen in this lifetime I am sure.

Anyway yesterday was a normal day. A couple loads of laundry, make the beds, empty the dishwasher, prepare and eat lunch with our daily lessons going on at the same time. Lo and behold by 3:30 I couldn't move... I have had problems since 1996, but I have never felt such pain as I am in now. I have never understood the comment "My back is out" either until yesterday and not only do I understand I say........"My back is out" I'm not capable of being in one position for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time. But I wanted to share about my son. He not only helped me last night be cleaning up after the dinner that his Father prepared, but took care of me. The only place that I could get comfortable was on our short love seat. My special boy was so worried about me that he slept on the couch to make sure he was there for me in case I needed something. He got up this morning, made him something to eat and started and completed his lessons before I was even awake.

I know that 11 years of age some people expect this of their children. I for one like my children to be young and have fun for as long as possible. Yet My joy in him this day was worth sharing.

I hope that this hasn't been a severe rambling....remember the name of my blog?   Enough from me on this day. Back to the love seat and my pain meds. have a wonderful evening.
