I feel like a hag or sea witch type creature these days.With my achy joints, the back pain and feeling like my pelvic area is just going to crack open or simply turn to dust like some newly discovered dinosaur bones I feel almost triple my age.I am covered in dust, dirt and grime as we continuously spend our days and nights organizing our house to make room for this new addition.
