Family Fun Gone Awry


Quote of the Day: "God says, don't count to far or you'll break your brain!" Am I the only one who "subtly" tests her homeschool children at all hours of the day?
Michael and I had a plan. Geocaching from 9 - noon. Lunch. Pool with the littles. Dinner. Mike would go finish work on tomorrow's sermon.

Somehow, we didn't make the 9 a.m. thing...... then the older boys had work and other plans. Jared had a sore throat....

Michael DID taste the chips and voted for Ghiradelli. It's final...this family prefers the Giradelli - though I and one other like the Guittard. LOL Arielle documented this moment with 12 photos - this is my favorite. We headed out to geocache at 11:00. We did not find ANY of the caches that we sought. At 1:00 I saw dancing spots.....I was either about to have a high blood pressure attack or a migraine. Can we vote here???? ::snort:: We headed home. On the way, I realized my eyes have been wonky all day, I've been nauseated - I thought a migraine was on the way. We got home by 1:15 and it had already hit. Mike told me to take meds and head for bed. I did.

He decided to go ahead and take the kids who were home to the pool so that the house would be quiet. I had Stacia, she napped for a couple of hours. They picked up Arielle's friend, Ashley and headed for the pool.

Yep - my head still hurts...but I'm taking drugs. I've not had a migraine since early in Mike's deployment - would have been Sept/Oct....the diet and exercise changes have really helped, I think.

Mike is at the office working on his sermon. I'm going to see what I can do about keeping the lights down and the children quiet and then go to bed as early as possible...and yes, take some more drugs.

I think there were moments of family fun in the day - it just wasn't the together day we had planned.

Here's praying that your migraine is going away! I've noticed less headaches with our diet changes too. I'm still getting them with weather patterns, but you can't change everything. :)

I haven't been very good about comments, but I do still read your blog all the time! The quotes of the day crack me up! Thanks for the sunshine.

I'm sorry you're dealing with a migraine, De'Etta! Hope the meds help (that and some good quiet/sleep).

I'm sorry about the migraine. Hope you get plenty of rest and it subsides soon.

UGH... what a way to ruin a day! I don't get migraines like you do, but I do get headaches and when I get one it's NOT fun. I'm sure you're feeling much better by now since I'm a few days late in reading.
