My So-Called Homeschool

I actually posted ON my birthday (the 3rd) and did not mention it, lol! It was a pretty anti-climactic day. Squid took me out Saturday night, we saw X-men 3: The Final Stand (hated the ending!) and went to dinner at Amigos, a local Mexican restaurant. Yeah, I work in Mexicantown and we ate Mexican in a suburb. Go figure! Sunday we had a picnic at church — it’s so nice of them to do that for my birthday every year - hah! Squid had to work Monday, but the girls felt it wouldn’t be fair if we didn’t go to Red Robin after he got off work. They were so worried the waitress wouldn’t know it was my birthday and I wouldn’t get the goofy birthday song. They should have known, Daddy was on top of it. We came home, and I blogged a little and went to bed with a slight headache.

The 4th came along and Squid was working again. We didn’t plan anything to do — which turned out to be a good thing, since that headache didn’t go away but just lurked, and when I lay down for a nap BAM! It turned into a migraine. I don’t them very often, but this one was a doozy. Of course, by the time Monkey Boy woke up I was into the nausea stage and he was right there.

“Whatcha doin mom?”

“Barfing, son”

“Oh.”

“GO AWAY!”

“It’s OK mom, you not sick. You OK mom!”

Oh, that his words would make it so! Jasmine and Pink Pixie were out at friends’ houses playing, but they happened to come back home and distracted Monkey for a while. I lay for about 30 minutes with a cold washcloth over my eyes and POOF! it disappeared. Thank goodness!

Anyway, that was my holiday weekend. Welcome to the excitement that is my life!
