Migraine Time Again

Had a headache for 12 hours yesterday.
Yes, I have prescriptions.
The newest....Fioricet.
Fioricet is a barbiturate.
BARBITURATE!
(that's a sedative. Highly addictive.)
I'm allowed 4 per day.
Yesterday I took 2.
Nothing.
NOTHING!
Head pounding.
Of course I'm afraid to take more.
I'm sure if I do I'll end up in my own episode of Intervention.
Head still pounding.
I took another.
NOTHING.
These freakin' drugs don't even work.
Aaahhh, so THAT'S how they get you.
So, head still pounding, I go to bed.
Wake up two hours later, intense pain.
Severe migraine in progress.
Nausea, light - evil.
What to do.
The stupid drugs aren't working.
Time to take matters into my own hands.
I took 3 Advil.
That's all, just 3 Advil and you know what?
Headache gone.
Buh-bye.

If only......

Shut up!
Just shut up!
Shut up shut up shut up!
Shut it!
Just stop, shut up!
Shut up!
SHUT UP!
Would you just shut up?!!!!!!
Shut up!
SHUT UP ALREADY!

-don't you wish you could just
say what's on your mind?

Second Graders

I subbed in second grade today.
The girls were looking at my hair, asking questions:

"How do you get your hair so curly?"

"How does your hair bounce like that?"

"Why is your hair white in the middle?"

Yeah, I'm coloring it right now.

NOW I have something to say!

I've known for awhile but didn't want to say
anything until my contract was finalized.
I got a promotion!
I'm going from Art Assistant to
Permanent Substitute Teacher.
I'm going to have my own office!
AND I got a nice raise.
A VERY nice raise.
A FREAKIN' AWESOME RAISE!!!!!!!

Today

I just don't have anything to say.
I know.
I can't believe it either.

Dear Brain......

Dear Brain,
The four of us have been chosen to
write this letter. Thank you for a few
minutes out of your busy day.

First of all, we want you to know
how much we appreciate you.
You remind us that shouting
obscenities in church is a bad thing.
You keep us from ironing our clothes
while wearing them.
You prevent us from doing a lot of
stupid things we think would save us time
but would actually end us up in the hospital.
That being said, could you please
STOP WAKING US UP AT 4:00 AM!
What is up with that??
We're tired.
We're overworked/underworked.
We drag around all day.
We think we deserve a few
more hours of rest.
We know it's not only you.
We realize that Bladder has something to do
with it. We intend to deal with it at a later date.
In closing, please try to relax a little.
Thank you,
Signed,
Aching Back
Sore Feet
Fat Arse
and Stuffy Nose

Lately.....

Loving.......

My le creuset petite casserole.
It's sitting next to my stove filled with kosher salt.
It makes me feel like a real cook.

Reading........

Actually, my life is pretty good.
I caught Oprah yesterad and she was talking about it
-thought I'd give it a try.
Everyone can use a little positive thinking.

Listening to.............

New Soul is the song used in the new Mac Air commercial.
Love it!

Wearing.........

New Bobbi Brown Honeysuckle Lipstick.

Eating........

Dylan and I go through a whole bag in nothing flat.

Addiction

I have an addiction.

I love watching A&E's Intervention.
Paul can't understand it.
No, I don't like to watch all the horrible things
the addicts go through.
I like to see what went wrong in their lives, what
caused them to to start using (Intervention lingo)
and how they turn their lives around.

I need an Intervention intervention.

Who Knew?

Hey,
Apparently I'm a Giant's fan.
WE WON!!!!!!!!
