OMG I know our mantra is P A C E and Mimi you are with me always....but, In a 4 hour period we (DH and I) well he mowed the lawn and that cleared the way for me.......
Vaccuumed the pool, cleaned off the pool deck of leaves and branches...did the patio, pulled the bar B Q to it's place and set up the umbrella...cleaned the sandbox area and toys for the kids, water tables and little pool....table for the parents.
Blew the leaves and debris from the patio and across the grass and pulled weeds, set up tables for the food and the bar area, put up 2 tents for the possible rain (pop ups...13 x13 and 10 x10.) Found the iPad plays on the deck and had great smooth jazz playing that just melted away the anxiety I was feeling....
Faught every spider in the yard and discussed territory. Turned on the fountain to see it still worked. Fixed a few spots that needed tending and then knew I had about 5 minutes more of function left.....sent DH out for pick up dinner and then we ate, I sat in the TV room and was about to fall asleep when the man came to fix the water softener that broke.....(always something)
He has a bad situation with diabetes and heart disease so he had my ear and shoulder most of the time, but I couldn't stand up anymore.....the pain had me, the tightness of the muscles was so high( despite meds)...so I just sat on the couch out of veiw and finally told him I have problems too.....we talked, he fixed and the day ended.
I babysat from 9a.m. to 1 p.m. which took a toll on the days work time and that was how I got in a rage of energy to do what I did....it is the only day I have DH around to help me. Now I am alone, today is a down day as I need to mend, and I got so much done.....(proudest of the sandbox* my gem...that I built)
I have to go to the office and pick up my cell phone! Then nails and toes and a M A S S A G E ....start with 20minutes but I know I am going for 30...(let her think she convinced me....) Then I have final food shopping to do and I am done.
I think tomorrow morning another massage to get me tuned better will be in order and then I pick up my Sister! All will be better when she arrives. I am not going to stress over the 6 extra feet in the house during this time. I have planned it well.....
Menu is made and that is all I need (structure) to get through things. Ever make lists to help picture the things that stress you out?
I also have no control over the weather so what happens...hapens...I have tents up and it buys more space then just my covered deck and patio....and then there is the air conditioned house, my nephew can do my lifting so I have a plan there...tablecloths are ironed and I am ready....need to buy some real flowers to color around the deck, my marigolds didn't hold up in the heat (well I didn't get back there to water everyday)
So, a glimpse in the life of a stubborn FM/CMP patient....one with boxing gloves on and fighting to the death to have what I want for the moment I am in. This is our last wedding and I will go through it with a bang!
(Then I have 3 days to put myself back together.....:0 )
Hoping those in a flare get a break soon...Mimi hope the back is quieter today and Sharon....poor Sharon, I hope the leg gets a turn around.....remember 1 inch every 6 months (the nerve regenerates). Be good to yourselves guys...............Nancy B

Hello Nana B....sounds like you have things doing in the right direction....I do hope you will not cross your line though so that you can enjoy the wedding as well. I am sure things will go well with this...I hope the day is beautiful and I hope the bride and groom have a great day to remember for the rest of their life together...
And of course, I hope you will be blessed with more grandbabies to love and cherish...as you already know, our grandchildren are our *rewards* of being a good mother...
Noah will soon be 3...and he is so very grown up. Alec is now 5 and will be going to kindergarten this year...he is into the technology....plays with all of the gadgets with games that I have no idea about....Noah is also into this as well...just not as much as Alec..
I have mixed emotions about all of this new technology that children are today exposed to. Are these children going to be bored in school learning to read, write and do math? And will they be bored? I worry about this...but I do know that it is what it is...
Remember to pace Nana B....take care and good luck..
I know your son and his new bride will appreciate all that you have done for them.

OK boxing gloves off. Going for a massage that didn't happen and I am in bad pain...unable to sleep right now. I had to build the bottom of a bed for my Sister to sleep on and it pushed me over, I saw the GB's again for a 3 hour visit....
All were unsettled and needed immense playing with. I just can't get it right over there yet. Too much lifting...
So the dragon has me in his teeth. I have such a headache (my true sign of crossing the line)
Early today I will try for that massage and rest before Sis comes, then I will have help to finish this special time......
Also saw NO RAIN in the forcast at least for friday for the wedding! YIPEE....
. Just need a bit more relief with ths body. Getting our the toolbox and trying a few tricks today. The tough stuff is finished and I am in a good place in my head!
The cooking is nothing and I will try and not be a creep with picking up after everyone the day of the event! HA! :0.
Take care, Nancy B

Sounding great...well, except the dragon part, that is. I know you have your tools at hand.
I also make the 'to do lists' and get the worries out of my head that way. It feels so good to make a little check mark next to the item that's accomplished.
I like that you have taken the time to have your nails done and a massage or two to get you in tune! You must be glowing.
Enjoy the whole experience and let us know the romatic details afterwards!
