I Just Want To Cry

Woke up with a headache.
I just want to cry.
Not because of the pain -
because I am so sick of this.

Jinx?

I am probably jinxing myself by saying this but....
my migraine is gone.
It's been a few hours now and nothing.
Finally.
I told myself that I will not
have a headache today.
I just refuse.
Let's see if I listen.

Thank you again for all the
kind comments and e-mails.
Thank you.

I. Give. Up.

Migraine - approaching hour 71.

They can last as long as 72 hours, right?
RIGHT????

I'm calling the MD again if it's still
here in the morning.

It's baaaaaaack.

Migraine - hour 57

Just woke up.
It's back and apparently has a bone
to pick with me.
How dare I try to get rid of it!
-look, you need a sense of humor
in times like these.

I've read that migraines can last for 72 hours
so there is an end in sight, right?

Hey, just trying to be positive.

On The Mend

Migraine - hour 48

Feeling better.
Finally.

Doc called in the meds.
I took one fully ready to feel sicker.
Guess what - didn't feel bad at all.
Well, didn't feel worse.
Gradually, the pain subsided.
It's still there, but I have to think
about it to "find" it.
Hopefully, tomorrow will be
a GREAT day.

I want to thank you for all your
comments and emails.
You are good people.

Relief In Sight

Migraine - hour 43

Doctor finally returned my call.
Wants to see me, but in the meantime
is calling in a prescription for something
I've taken before. I stopped taking it because
I didn't like the way it made me feel.
However, if it will make the pain stop
I'll take it. I'll take it and crawl into bed.
I think I'll be okay.

Enough Already

Migraine - Hour 34

While this is not the worst headache I've
ever had, in terms of total debilitation,
this is the longest I've ever had a
horrible headache. I've taken everything
in my arsenal. Three Motrin seem to cut
the pain somewhat, but it comes back.
I believe this is called rebounding.
I don't care, I need some relief.
My plan for today is to drink lots
of water and caffeine and call the
doctor, and possibly put my head
in a vice, we'll see.

24 Hours

Migraine - hour 24

Ugh

18 Hours

Migraine - hour 18.

-whimper-

Info Update

I've gotten 8 emails asking about my
water bottle and/or my paisley skirt.

I picked the water bottles up at
a store my son thinks is
run by evil, demented people
bent on ruining his life.....




They had a small selection of the large water bottles
I have and a larger selection of smaller bottles
for kids. Try Googling Sigg Water Bottles to
see the different designs.

My paisley skirt is from
Coldwater Creek.
I tried to find it in the store, but they
told me it was only available online.
Be warned, it is a skort.
I've determined that a skort is like
a mullet:
Business in the front,
Party in the back.

Skirts and Shoes and More

I'm on a kick.
I've been running around buying skirts
and shoes to go with them.
Here are the latest....


I'm loving this skirt. Sorry I can't get a larger picture.
It's from Land's End.
It's actually a skort.
I hate that word.
Skort.
Is it so difficult to say skirt with shorts that it has to
be shortened into this stupid word - skort.
Anyway - I really like it.
AND I found these great shoes that go perfectly
not only with this skirt but with my little paisley number below.

Sorry, I could only find a pic of them in blue. Mine are this color:

I also found a bathing suit that I LOVE.

I love the halter top and it has a tiny bit of draping across the legs in the front.
Not enough to be a skirt, but just a little bit to add a
little something, well, actually to hide a little something.
I have it in black. I think I need it in brown too.
I'm waiting for this to come in the mail......

Wouldn't it be nice if it made my legs look like that?
Sigh.
***Update: my skirts are NOT technically skorts (thank God!).
They are skirts, look like skirts all the way around BUT
they have shorts underneath, which is of good because
they are kind of short and if you're not careful
you'll pull a Britney Spears as you're getting out
of the car.
It's good to have shorts on underneath.

Revving Up.

Well, we've been out of school for a week now
and camp starts in 12 days.
TWELVE DAYS!!!!
I'm really looking forward to it
but I have a lot to do to prepare.
For those of you who aren't aware...
This will be my 5th summer as
a camp counselor, my 3rd at this
camp, which is our school's camp.
I love camp which is pretty
funny because I pretty much hate
-summer
-the outdoors
-athletics
I'm more of a
-central air conditioning
-old movie watching
-taking it slow
kind of girl.
My idea of the perfect summer day
is lying on a pool float getting a tan
NOT
running around playing ultimate frisbee
but that is what my life has become and
you know what?
I love it.
This summer I will again be running the
drama program. We're going to do ANNIE.
I'm also teaching an acting class and...
ready for this........
Karaoke.
I'm calling it Kerryoke.
Yeah, yesterday I was at a karaoke store -
did you know they had those -
buying every Hannah Montanna cd they had.
Shoot me now.

Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That......

Wearing.......

....except substituted this for the denim jacket - it was just too hot.

Carrying around (the purple one).....

Reading....

Thinking of taking up.......

Spilling......

Lately....

Well, first of all....
SCHOOL IS OVER!
I can't believe it.
It went so quickly.

Also - I SLEPT last night!!!!!!
Hurray!

Had a great day with Dylan today.
We went to the mall, had lunch,
hung out in the Apple store,
went to Abercrombie - got lots
of new things and now we're watching

If you ever want to get closer to your children
try watching this show.
They cling to you.....literally.

Hate this.

sucks.
We're going on 3 nights now and I can't sleep.
It could be the heat.
It reached 100 today and my house is very
good at holding onto heat......except in the winter.
I guess it could be the iced tea I was drinking.
Maybe it's the nap I take each day.
Well, whatever it is I AM WIDE AWAKE at 1am
and I have to work tomorrow.
AND I'm subbing in 3rd grade - I NEED my sleep!

Bragging "Bout the Kid

Dylan has had a pretty good week,
well, with one exception.

He ran for and won a spot on the
Executive Board for the student council.

He was on the winning team for the
Stock Market Game in our region (NY).
They were invited to an awards ceremony.

He had to give a speech on behalf of his team.


The "one exception" to his week......
He bruised his kidney.
How?
By running a race at field day and diving across
the finish line in order to win.
He hit hard.
But he won.

So Much Going On.......

It's June and there is so much
going on around here.
I have much to write about but
first things first......
I PUT ON TOO MUCH PERFUME THIS
MORNING AND I STINK!
I'M MAKING MYSELF GAG!!!!
BLECH!
