The Sickness Found Me

Yesterday evening I started to feel a bit wonky. I gave the kids their bathes, and put them to bed a little bit early. By 9:00 p.m., I was miserable… I was freezing cold, but my eyes burned thanks to a high fever, my stomach was a wreck, and all I could hope for was sleep.

At 10:30 p.m. Dylan was up and crying, so James went in to get him back to sleep. At 11:00 p.m., Dylan was up and miserable, so I stumbled in to the boy’s room, and tried to get Dylan back to sleep. This continued on every 15-30 minutes until 4:30 a.m., when I finally gave up. I was so sick, I couldn’t even pick Dylan up.

Finally at 5:30 a.m. he was asleep, and I was up with Thade at 7:00 a.m. I still feel awful, but the boy’s are both doing well. I’m worried about my hubby though, he wasn’t feeling too good at lunch today. If I can muster up the strength, I need to get to the store and get Flu supplies, but I don’t think that it is going to happen. It looks like the Flu season made an early arrival to our house, grrrr.

Miss Grumpy Pants

Today I am still in a bad mood, I was in a bad mood yesterday after my car wouldn’t start, and I had to switch out the car seats with two screaming kids in 100 degree weather, yeah I am so in a bad mood. Somehow I ran out of time yesterday, and didn’t make it to the store either, and I’m out of Sugar, and now I’m Nico with no coffee, so I’m in a really bad mood. On top of it all, it is grocery shopping day and that usually has me in a horrible mood by the time that I am home, so yeah you could say that my bad mood will only worsen by the end of the day.

I hope that your mood is cheerier than mine, but if not feel free to leave your gripes with me.

I lost 16 hours

Well I’m finally to that point where I have to do something about my migraines. Yesterday I had one of the worst migraines that I have ever had, and it lasted a good sixteen hours. I was sick all day, and I know that something has to be done. I’m starting a headache journal to track my migraines, and I hope it will give my  Doctor a little more information too.

I’m also researching birth control options, because I think that the added hormones might be part of the problem. I just hope that I can find something that works, because I don’t think that a Brain Transplant is an option…

From Crappy to Crappier

I just had this feeling that today was going to be trouble. Today I need to go to the grocery store, and my car has been giving me trouble recently. Sometimes it works flawlessly and other times it misbehaves very badly and I’m happy I made it home. It has an evil electrical problem that today has gone from bad to worse.

So this morning I make the gigantic list for the grocery store, I’m stocking up for two weeks, and I get both of the kids ready to go. I load everyone into the car, into their car seats, and I turn the key, and nothing. My car won’t even turn over, and I am SUPER-MAD!!! I try to keep my cool, and not scream every obscenity in the handbook, but I am one grumpy gal. I get the kids back out of the car and we head inside. Dylan is mad too, he really wanted to get out of the house.

Thade asked why we couldn’t go to the store, and I told him that Mommy’s car is being difficult. He then says no big deal, we can walk there. Its a few miles away, but it was sweet that he was willing to walk.

I called my hubby at work, and he wasn’t mad at all, he was happy that we were home, and not stuck at Wal-Mart. He is even bringing home lunch, and I’ll swap out the car seats when he gets home. We’ll be calling around this afternoon, and seeing what we can do about my Chevy Troublemaker. I just hope it isn’t too much, and my car makes a return quickly.

Not Another One

Yesterday I was feeling pretty good. I got out for a walk, breezed through the dishes and laundry, I even cleaned windows in the afternoon. I had a little headache, but no big deal. By dinnertime, my little headache had grown into an evil migraine. By 8:30 p.m., my head hurt so bad, I didn’t even know what to do.

I got both kids off to bed, and I went and rested for a bit. It hurt too bad to lay down though, so I propped myself up in bed, and watched some t.v. James came in to check on me a few times, and at 10:30 p.m., I thought I should go and get ready for bed, it took me 5 minutes to walk into the bathroom, I was so dizzy, and I couldn’t move my head to the right. It was awful.

I really really really hate these migraines, and the seem to be getting worse. Today I’m still feeling sick, and I still have a headache. It isn’t as bad as the one that I had last night, but it is still with me. I’ve been researching a few options online, because I know something has to be done.

Do you have any helpful suggestions to help my aching noggin?
