My head is in hell....

Okay...so migraines....suck! I have been having them for a couple of months now and they are getting more and more frequent...so I went to the Dr. and she prescribes me Imitrex. So I get a migraine and I take the pill and it's supposed to take it away. Well....instead of it taking it away, it's making me all tense in my jaw, neck and shoulders which in turn is just making my migraine worse..... So I am at a loss again. I plan on calling the Dr. tomorrow and letting them know all this, but I'm not going to be able to do much about it because I am leaving for California on Wednesday.

It's frustrating having the migraines to begin with, but it's severely hindering my abilities to take care of J and/or taking care of the house. All I want to do is sleep when they come on...and all J wants to do is play and make noise like any normal 1 year old wants to do. Here's hoping something is resolved soon...because I don't know how much longer I can take this.

My Day

Wow...I didn't realize how long it had been since I'd written. I guess I have been busier than it seems to me....
Mother's day was super nice...L was home only for the weekend and then he left again on Monday. But we spent Sunday together as a family...we took J to the park and then we had Mexican for lunch (super yummy and free mimosas!!) and then we went to this little mom n pop Italian restaurant here in town and it was amazing! Totally decent prices and very good food! I also got a nap that day, and what is better than that?? :) Oh so...the whole park incident with J...LOL...He is hilarious! The park sucked...it's the first one that I knew of here and when we got there, there was no infant swing, the sand was in a separate sand box (which actually makes sense) but there was practically rocks underneath them in the playground part. L took J down the slide on his lap once and J was kind of frightened...he didn't actually cry, but he looked at me like "what are you letting this crazy guy do to me???" . So we took him to the sandbox. First, we had to force him to even sit down and then he wouldn't touch the sand. So L tried to push things along and show him what it was by sprinkling a little pile of sand into J's hand....He not only threw the sand as quickly as he possibly could but then he pulled his hand away every time L tried to get him to touch it again....Quite funny...He's turing into a prissy little man :)

It's been crazy around here trying to organize myself so that I can start packing us up for our trip to California and clean the house up for when Cheri and Ben get here. I just never know where to start....I've turned into my mother with all my lists! It's amazing how much you try not to be like your parents when you are little and then all of a sudden you turn around and YOU ARE your parents! For me, it's certain things I catch myself doing....we still have a lot of differences of opinion so it's not by any means everything...I still am my own person, Thank God!

Just sitting here, eating my lunch and enjoying the sunshine and peace and quiet. J is taking his nap and I just don't know what to do with myself...in one instance, I should be getting the housework done, but in another, I just wanna take time out to do absolutely nothing....or rather do something for my well being. Finally the company has ceased for a few weeks and I have the house back to myself again...L is gone, but won't be for very long and I am really enjoying it. It's going to be all too strange once L is always home again....Just when I start to get used to the fact that he leaves ....I definitely will enjoy it, don't get me wrong...It will just be weird cause I'm not used to it. Even when he was home for a month waiting for the baby to be born, we were going crazy, because we weren't used to spending THAT much time together.
Anyways...I am rather excited for my California trip....plenty of people I want to see and hang out with, but more than that, I can't wait to see Cheri. It's been a long time...almost a year, since we've seen eachother....we used to share a room....used to share just about everything with eachother....and I miss that kind of bond with another girl/woman.
So I'm actually happy....I'm happier than I have been in a while...My husband and I are in a great place....it's sooo close to the end of his promised time that we can taste it....and J is getting so big and so full of life....and I finally feel normal and have things to look forward to ....and I have ambitions that I want to put into motion ....I'm so incredibly excited to see what the future holds!
