Happiness

    Our Healthy Twin Boys- Ethan and Jonah This past weekend- from 5 pm on Friday evening to even as I write, was spent in bed nursing a migraine/sinus/tension headache. I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow! I'm not really sure which one of those it was- all I know is that it is mostly on the left side of my head, throbbing and I am sensitive to light and sounds and my sinuses are clogged. I think working at the school has finally caught up with me! I could feel it coming on Friday afternoon and by the time I finished up babysitting a little girl after school at 5 pm I was down for the count! Tylenol was not helping at all and the only relief I found was an ice pack to the side of my head. I finally found Excedrin for Tension Headaches with just Tylenol and Caffeine and that has helped some. Let me tell you, these past two days have been some of the worst I have ever experienced. I, once again, feel for those who have migraines and more than once.  It's still clo...

NationalGeographic.com I took a day off from the internet yesterday. I did check my e-mail though. I couldn't help it. It took 5 minutes! Ok. Maybe 10. I can't say I liked it, but I did get more done! If I had to do it over again, I would proclaim one day a week "basic" day: e-mail, blog, read my top 5 favorite bloggers (any family of course, NieNie, Nat, CJane) and that's it. That would take me about an hour. Or I could write 2 posts one day and then just post that one and quickly skim to see if anyone has written anything that can't wait until the next day. Josh is now no longer an often reader of my blog. His job keeps him too busy. This is good, but I miss him. It reminds me of when we got married and the first normal day after our honeymoon he came home at 10 pm. I was teaching and would get home at 5 pm, make dinner and be alone for the next five hours. That wasn't going to fly. We talked and he began to come home at 6 pm. And somehow things worked o...
