A bit of *this* and a bit of *that*

Filed under family life, headaches
I have, for the most part, been out of commission for the last several days, partly due to the worst ever migraine. This sucker took over my entire body on Wednesday and decided to hang on for dear life until last night. Because of this massive headache (headache seems too mild of a word, really), I had just managed to get my kids fed while Ray was at work the last few days, and have only this afternoon begun to feel myself again.
Thank God for a loving husband, a generous sister (love you, sis!), a kind friend (thanks Mindy!), and understanding kiddos!
Now that I am feeling a bit better, my mind is swimming with all of the things I had wanted to tell you the last few days…. How much Julia and I enjoyed Hannah Montana: The Movie, what we did in our backyard, and the conversation I had with my twins the other day…
But, alas, all that shall wait. Instead, I will leave you with some links to some great stuff to keep you busy until I’m more myself.

And, now I leave you so I may get some rest…
Have a fabulous weekend! I’d love to hear about it!
Migraines are the worst and that sounded like a marathon of one! Moms should get a shot when they give birth so they never get sick, even with help it’s so hard to parent when you feel so horrible. Glad you are on the mend!
Oh, me too with the Migraine! I’m still in a haze & I still haven’t been able to eat. If there can possibly be an upside to Migraines, it certainly keeps me trim! Ugh!
So sorry you haven’t been feeling well! Hope you are back to yourself soon. It’s so hard to handle the household when you’re not 100%.
My weekend isn’t very exciting – have been out-of-state (MT) for a week helping my Dad move and helped my sis clean house. Can’t wait to get back and “vacation” at home – LOL!!
I have never really had a migraine, but my sister has and I know it’s been awful for you! So sorry! I hope you are yourself soon and thanks for all the info on what’s going on. Hope you had a great weekend!
Ouch… crum… sorry to hear you had a gnarly migraine! Seems like it hit a lot of people this week. I usually get them when there’s a big air pressure change, and sure enough, that happened last week here in the western region. The thing that helps? Sinus meds. Seriously.
Okay, enough of the old mom advice. Glad to hear you had help!
I saw your comment on twitter. I see here you had a bad week, migraines are horrible. I am glad you are feeling better – your blog is wonderful. I will continue to read and look through your archives. I am sure I will be hooked! I hope you feel better and fill up with lots of love from all your comments! It’s a wonderful two way street, you pour so much out into this space we call the internet and it’s great to get it back when you need it
