Around the internet lately, on so many of the blogs I read, there's been a common tune: I'm sick, my kids are sick, everyone in the house is sick. Isn't it a lovely time of year? It's mostly colds and flu I've been reading about, and thankfully none of that has hit our house. The Little Mister has been teething, of course, but nothing more than that...and the Sergeant never (okay, very, very rarely) gets sick.
Unfortunately, the past few days I've been in the grip of one of the worst migraines I've had in ages. My prescription didn't even touch it. And when I get a migraine it's more than pain in my head, it's...well, it's wretched.
This has been me most of this week. Except, you know, not a cat.So, I sing along with the song of the sick. I keep my head attached enough to take care of the Little Mister during the day, and as soon as he's in bed I curl up on the couch with a heat pack on my neck and an ice pack on my forehead. It's getting better today, but the migraine still holds on. Maybe tomorrow I will be free...
But a bit of sunshine: my real-life friend, Painted Maypole, gave me an award!
She said "[She] provides me with a daily dose of The Little Mister... since I am too far away to actually shower him with love. I'm so glad you started blogging." Awww...thanks! (And I wish we lived closer together, too...)
And now I pass this award along to Heidi at Viking Conquest. She has such a lovely voice; she writes about Norway and her family and her travels...and I just wish I was there!! I enjoy my daily dose of Norway! :)
oooo... i hope you feel better! if i lived closer, i'd come take that cute little boy off of your hands so you could rest.
ReplyDeleteI know about the sick...everyone seems to be sick (knock on wood, not here yet). But I truly cannot imagine taking care of a little boy with a migraine. Ooooo...like PM said, I wish I could lend a hand (the Little Mister and I could have fun destroying more alphabet tiles :)) I hope you're right, and that the migraine'll be gone by tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blingaling! It's very pretty and shiny! And thank you SO MUCH for passing it on. How sweet :)
Have a lovely - migraine-free - weekend!
Heidi
Migraine is the worst. I'm so sorry....feel for you.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Hope you are feeling better soon. My family FINALLY seems ot be getting rid of this nasty bug we all just had. I can't wait for winter to be GONE!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award.
I wish I was with Heidi in Norway too!!! Congrats on the nice award and I hope you feel better soon. Have a good weekend - Kellan
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the migraine. I don't suffer from them myself but my husband does.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
Congratulations - I wish I could offer to make your dinner tonight. Feel better.
ReplyDeleteIt's the worst thing ever when you have to take care of a baby while sick . . . when my husband and I both had stomach flu . . . now that was REALLY lousy. Good times. Lovely time of the year.
ReplyDeleteFeel better SOON!
ReplyDeleteI think curling up on the couch with a heat pad sounds like an excellent idea. (I've got some back pain, myself. My little Lance is getting heavier EVERY DAY!!! Thank goodness he's walking now, so I don't have to carry him too much anymore!)
glad to hear that you and your family are missing the bug! We are crossing our fingers too!
ReplyDeleteSorry you are feeling so crappy, I'd definately take Little Mister, if only you lived closer to me. GRRR. He'd have fun with my little ones. Crazy Daughter would love to mother him.
ReplyDeleteI hope your doctor appt goes well, don't let them just tell you nothing. Get answers. Your in my prayers.
I hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award, well deserved.
Good job keeping your neck iced. I suffer from migranes too and the doc said an iced neck helps. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteFeel better SOON! It's no fun being sick...
ReplyDeleteoh poor you! migraines are the worst--hang in there.
ReplyDeleteRunning on empty
Congrats on your fabulous award! Hope you feel better soon. Migraines are nuts!
ReplyDeleteSorry you aren't feeling well, but that picture is priceless.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award!
Aw, I hope you feel better. Luckily we aren't singing that sicky song anymore around here. I hope you get lots of rest!
ReplyDeletep.s. congratulation on the award! It is well deserved
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon, as you say there is a lot of it about.
ReplyDeleteOh Mama, feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteUgh. I hear ya on the sickness. Get better soon!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Migraines suck! I've had 2 in my life, and that's enough, thank you.
Hope the weekend brought relief.
Love the cat pic - and I love Viking Conquest - so great choice.
ReplyDeleteHi Fellow Displaced American--
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment on Kathryn's blog (about missing out on the Super Bowl) and wanted to say Hi. Don't suppose you watched Fox news where they went on and on as it being SPECTACULAR *sigh* Hope you're feeling better soon!
Oh, I hope you're feeling better now. Poor you!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know! It's that time of year, right? I cringe when I read all my bloggy friends are sick...mostly because me and mine have avoided the Sick so far (knock on wood...) and I know it's coming.
ReplyDeleteEnough about me and my health. *weak grin*
Feel better! I wish we could all pitch in! Take care, ok?
Congrats on your bling! And Heidi is a perfect choice!
feeling better i hope....
ReplyDeleteDo you know about Maxalt? It has ended my migraine wars....Good luck
