I am not liking my head so much lately

After thinking it over I have determined my head is all screwed up. Thankfully I have some good points too so that helps balance the scale a bit.

THE BAD

- I get terrible headaches. I am so sick of my head I could scream or just wish to pass out. I get sinus, tension, migraines, and normal headaches. I have maybe one or two days a week in which I am pain free. It sucks!
- I am blind. Well legally blind, but still I can see as well as someone who has a tee shirt on their head and is trying to look through the shirt. Ugh!
- I get that high pitch noise sound from electronic things it is annoying.
- I still get pimples, but at least it is not so often.
- I get dry lips too often and it mostly happens when I am stressed.
- I have gray hair.
- My teeth are a little yellow.
- I have anxiety and depression issues.

THE GOOD

- For the most part I have a nice complexion (well that is what I have been told).
- I have thick dark pretty hair that I like.
- I am not completely blind my terrible eyesight makes it seem like I have eyes in the back of my head. I almost see as well behind me as in front.
- My teeth are strait.
- My face looks young. I have been told I look like I am 19 when I am actually 27.
- My face is kissable. Both my husband and my son like to give me kisses.
- My eyes look normal (you can’t tell I have bad vision).
- I can tell when the weather is changing due to the onset of a sinus headache.
- Due to my terrible headaches and walking into things because of my vision I have a high pain tolerance. Although if I could get my vision back and not have the headaches I would be fine with having a low tolerance. I am looking on the bright side right now though.


I guess the main thing is that I have had so many headaches lately that I feel as if it would be better if I was put into a coma. I am just thankful I have three wonderful people who live with me who are happy to see me every day. Even with a pounding head and only being able to lie on the couch.

PS: I am thankful for my crockpot. If not for that we wouldn’t have had dinner a few days this past week. My head hurt too much for me to stand.

A four year old’s perspective on ginger ale

Gregory – “What’s that Mommy?”

Mommy – “Ginger ale”

Gregory – “Oh Ginger ale.”

Mommy – “Yes.”

Gregory – “You drink it and get sick and spit in the toilet.”

Busy

I have been writing this post since last Wednesday. I just can’t seem to come up with much even though I have been so busy. I think perhaps I am just tired. Today Cullen is off so I hope to have some pictures up before this day is done.

Last Week
Monday I don’t remember.
Tuesday I don’t remember.
Wednesday we went apple picking. That was a lot of fun.
Thursday the kids went to the doctor and we made an apple pie. We also grilled out.
Friday I did a lot of cleaning.
Saturday I didn’t do much, but Gregory saw ET for the first time.
Sunday was busy
Monday I spent the day outside then ended up with an awful headache.
Today Cullen is off!!!! He made a lovely breakfast- coffee, pancakes, hashbrowns

At 4 years old Gregory is 38 pounds and he is 40 inches tall.
At five months old Lucy is 13 pounds 4 ounces and she is 25 inches long, but I could be wrong I don’t really remember her length. Oh well, I guess that is what I get for having two kids. My memory is gone. Lucy’s appointment was for her 4 month well visit. We were a month late, oops.

Now I am off to take a shower.

Smiles!

A painful but nice Saturday

Yesterday was Lucy’s Baptism. It was very nice. Father Bob Baptised Lucy. Lucy and Gregory have the same Godparents.
It was very nice.
I only felt awful. My head hurt to the point that I was nauseous and I felt like I was going to pass out. I didn’t but I did lose my lunch. Everyone else felt good so I was happy about that.
We went out to lunch with the Godparents and their daughter (who Gregory just loves so much). Then on the way home the fire station was having a little activity for the children. I had Cullen stop there so Gregory could go look at the fire trucks and play in the moon bounce. I stayed in the car and closed my eyes. It was a very nice activity for children. Cullen saw one of his friends there with his child.
While I was waiting in the car the door handles got pulled a couple of times. I was glad the car was locked. I mentioned this to Cullen and he said that there were quite a few mini vans there so the people probably just got mixed up. Made me laugh, parents and minivans.
Well we went home and I went to bed. Cullen took Gregory and Lucy out to the store to pick up some crackers.
Today Cullen is going to a Redskins game. I feel much better, but my head is still pounding.
Off to rest and get rid of the pain.
Will post pictures later.

PS: Lucy can now get up on her hands and knees. She will probably be crawling soon.
