Rain 'P' off

 Ok so you know how old people always whine that they are in pain and as a youngster you think that old people are really magic because they 'feel in their bones' when the rain is coming? Well I guess it is the same for Kids with Arthritis also.

We have had the worst summer imaginable (continuous rain) with temperatures dropping to 12° on occasion and therefore Zoe has been miserable! She has been walking funny for a while but we notice it more on wet days. Somehow I think her moods set in motion the rest of the household. I get more stressed because she cries all the time and because I am stressing about the inevitability of Methotrexate (Chemotherapy) looming in our near future! Mia gets extremely tired because she and Zoe share a room and therefore she isn't getting enough rest and Paul just goes out in sympathy for the rest of us and decides to be a little shite and annoy everyone! Meanwhile Willy has ran for cover (his office) and doesn't seem affected at all.  

So imagine standing in front of the monkey cage at the zoo, when they are really hyped up! You'd see 2 monkeys throwing crap at each other and screeching like the wild animals that they are (this would be Paul and Mia) then you have another little Monkey (Zoe) screeching and climbing all over the Older female and then you have another Monkey running to hide in a secluded place where you can barely see him (Willy) and when the Older female Monkey can detach herself from the little screeching Monkey she runs to the fence and starts banging her head on the cage because there is NO ESCAPE (ME!)

Welcome to my house !!!   I do realize that this could sound like any house where the little creatures live also and I am sure you can all sympathize with me on this one! P off RAIN!
