Karate, Boy Scouts, and Soccer, Oh My!
We are so busy with different things right now that I’m not keeping up too well with blogs and other “extra-curricular” activities. But we are all happy and having fun, so I guess it’s a good trade-off. Karate. Last Friday night, the children and I passed our karate rank tests, and advanced from white belt […]
Return of the Migraine
Thought I was over the worst of it yesterday when I posted. But that’s the most evil thing about migraine. You think it’s on the wane, but really it’s just falling back to gather its resources so that it can attack you again with redoubled fury. So obviously, when I posted yesterday, I was in […]
Anatomy of a Migraine
It started Saturday, with rampant binge-eating/food cravings. Should have known something was up; that’s been a precursor to an evil migraine before. I did manage to get most of what I wanted to do done on Saturday, but by late afternoon, I was feeling rather seedy. Woke up Sunday with the “uh-oh, I have a […]
Migraines and Kids
My younger son had a migraine yesterday. Poor tyke. He’s only nine. And he was in so much pain that he was struggling to keep back the tears. We didn’t go trick-or-treating, because I’m still not feeling at the top of my form, and I wasn’t up to trekking up and down our block in […]
Migraines and Taxes
I woke up with a migraine today. Not good, as today was the day set aside for finishing my annual letter to Uncle Sam. So it’s now 3 p.m., and I haven’t really gotten started well. Sigh. To address the migraine, I took my last two Maxalt (gotta get to the pharmacy this week!), drank […]
Basketball Season Starts
I didn’t get as much done as I wanted over the long weekend, since I had a killer migraine that started on Thursday and lasted until Tuesday afternoon. Still, I did get the boys room, the kitchen and laundry room, and the bathrooms completely clean (as in, pulling out the furniture and dusting / vacuuming behind […]
Tough Month!
This has been a busy time at work, which is why my Blogit earnings are going to stink this month. I’m juggling work, home-schooling, church, children’s choir, Broadway, handbells, freelance writing, and home. WAY too much! So my blogging has suffered, which means that, at last check, I’m due to earn $1.50 this month. LOL! […]
Better
Headache finally left about 4 this afternoon. Saw the chiropractor at 5:30, and I was awfully stiff. Got muscle stim and adjustment. Had a relaxed evening with mom and dad and the boys … we had supper and homemade ice cream, cleaned up, sat and talked a bit … nice and quiet. Thank goodness, tomorrow […]
Coming Down …
Well, today proved that I was under serious stress while the kids were gone. I had a doozy of a migraine that started Monday and is still there. It was horrible this morning, but it’s faded a bit now. I went to bed early last night — fifteen minutes after I tucked in the kids. […]
