When Your Legs Throw a Midnight Dance Party.

Oh sweet Friday!!  you are the glorious gateway to the weekend! I can already feel the weekend waving at me!!  ..... Of course, if you're home every day, does the weekend really matter? Oh, YES it does. The weekend feels different. For two days, my house is filled with laughter coming from all my kiddos.  My back door is like a revolving door on the weekends.  Plus, this time of the year, there are all the festivals and such that we try to add to these busy days.  OH yes...and antique shopping is high on the list as well.  

So here we are, standing on the verge of the weekend, smiling at the thought of what's to come....fun plans, extra food, and MAYBE a little rest some where in between all of the running around.  Speaking of rest, let's talk about something that doesn't always cooperate when bedtime rolls around:  RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME.   Have any of you ever experienced this?  

Ever have those nights when you're ready to call it a day, you finally crawl into bed, and just when you close your eyes, your legs decide it's time to dance??  That jittery, tingly, can't-stay-still feeling that keeps you flipping, flopping and sighing until midnight......HELLO, restless leg syndrome. 

I have had way too many of these kind of nights.  I change positions over and over again and sometimes I have to have some serious PEP TALKS with my legs, but NO...they've got other plans. 

If you have ever experienced this, then you know how frustrating it can be. What helps you calm those restless legs?  For me, it's a hot bath in epson salt, magnesium, and taking iron with ferritin.  I've heard that drinking tonic water helps as well, but I've just not tried this YET. 

Carbonated water is not something I really enjoy, but it's worth trying! 

I hope that not one of you ever experience this, but if you do, I would love for you to share what helps you.  BTW....mine comes and goes!! I may have this issue for a few weeks, and then suddenly, I don't see it's ugliness for a few months.  

As Friday winds down and the weekend tiptoes in, I am sending you all good vibes for a peaceful weekend and one that fills your journal with wonderful memories..  

Shug....💛💛💛💛
