You know all those inspirational pictures you have probably seen lately being posted all over Facebook, or in email forwards, or around the web?

I love them.

Chapter 1: School

I told Zondra the other day (the afternoon teacher in our classroom) that I finally felt like the kids and I were getting into a rhythm.  She agreed that she felt the same way in the afternoons.

The procedures are established, the kids have adjusted, I have adjusted, and we are finally into the “meat” of things.  Sounds, letters, numbers, the 5 senses, pumpkins, art projects, storytelling, and the list goes on…

I’m talking about the week.  And what a week it has been.

Gastroparesis.  Just another one of those lovely perks of EDS and POTS.  I get these flairs where my stomach decides to stop working.  As if it decides to go on strike with no warning at all.  

I sooooooo can relate.  Many of you probably can as well.
