Not in the box

Or at least I must be out of the box, b/c I sure as heck don't fit in anyone else's box.  I love how I heard once of how ms affects a person, I'm 'just aging prematurely'.  Yeah, okay, I can see that... so what, am I an 80 year old running around (well trying to anyway, lol) in a 30 year old's body?  I used to do about everything with horses out there; jumping, chasing cattle and harnessing and driving drafts... but now I don't hardly dare go above a walk.  Hopefully I can get that turned around this summer though.  I'd gotten up to cantering b4 getting pregnant, so I know what and how to do it, now with the baby, it's just a matter of if I'll be able to get out enough to start my in saddle exercise program.  Another thing that doesn't make sense from my vent yesterday... why would they send me to a certification class is they already had me in my temporary part time position.  Oh well, it's given me the tools to help myself, and contribute more to kids learning how to ride, when the opportunity presents itself. 

Being a mother puts you out of a 'normal' box anyway, but then to be a mother with limitations, hmph.  So, since my walking isn't so hot, I 'drive' my baby boy around using a power chair.  So far, with his mattress on the highest level, I can still get him in and out of his crib alright.  But, we are looking at putting hinges on the crib side somewhere so I won't have to try and stand the baby gets older, and bigger.

Can you go out and buy one of those, not that I've found.  Good thing my husband is a carpenter!  Now to deside if we want to copy the one above, or make a side that fold down... which my PT thought the baby could crawl out on....  Hmm.... right, we'll see.  My oldest is 9, and the baby's less than 6 months old right now, talk about a learning curve!  I've found I've forgotten about all that I learned with the first, if I ever did truly 'learn' anything.  Wow have things changed, namely the car seats!  I need to get myself strong enough to be able to put the giant stroller the car seat hooks into, in the trunk, and then I can take the little guy out into the world and stop having PT in my home, which is strange, b/c the usually work with the elderly and I think they don't quite know what to do with a younger momma... though I think they enjoy seeing the baby when they come out.

Fine for now... mind's racing with 'in the future's, which reminds me, I wonder if we have room for a piano and if I can still play with my 'fuzzy' fingers...?
