Welcome to Dana's blog!

heaches, cleaning, mowing and gardening

The boys and I did go out last night and get hte bushes trimmed and I watered all the plants. The second I sat down (my head was really hurting), DH asked me to trim mow. I told him to get the mower going so I did that for him. We ate and the boys were just being themselves, but my head hurt SO BADLY that I just could not stand it and was not a very nice person (and that's a total understatement). After one of them asked me for something, I got up and yelled that I was going to bed. I cleaned up the kitchen and took 2 tylenol PM and was in bed at 8pm. DH told me tonight that they didn't get done mowing hte pasture until 10! I had no idea cuz I was asleep by 9 and didn't get up until 7!

So today is much better. And I didnt' drink a coke cuz I only have 1 left and I needed to save it for today as there is a new front rolling in overnight.

And so far I have worked out, dusted, cleaned the bathrooms and have a loaf of bread rising. I got 2 mixes out of the freezer and I'm makgin those to take to the ILs this weekend. One is a yeast and the other is a quick bread. Well actually it's blueberry muffins, but I'm just making it as a loaf of bread. So while the yeast loaf is rising for the 2nd time, I'm going down to AWW's to see if they are home and see if she has any tomato starts left. Then we'll get everything planted but the vining stuff. With the rains (at least hte last time I saw the news--Sunday?? they were calling for rain starting on Thursday) coming in, it's a good time to plant them.

I have my MOM's night out tonight. I hope that I can have fun. I need something to get my mind off of my own life. There is a presentation at hte library tonight and Mat is dying to go and I called DH this am to see about that cuz I have a book on reserve that has to be picked up or they give it to the next person waiting and we have books to turn in, plus he really needs to get them books on tape for this weekend. So he says that he doesn't really want to go, but he guesses that he can. I was irked. So I talked to him in words he understood and said that this was something that his boys wanted to do and it was FREE. Since he informed me last night that tomorrow's paycheck is spent and then some. That means weeks 5 & 6 of no household money.  I'm tired of all of this.

For most ppl this would be good news, my sister is 80% effaced and 1-2cm dialated. The doc told her last week things were ready to go (she's 37 weeks this week) and wanted to strip her membranes and she refused. They want that house done (just finished up the drywall) and I really do not want her to have that baby this weekend!!!!!!!!! I WILL NOT BE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the good news is that everyone is healthy and things are going nicely and it should be a normal delivery.

MIL also had chemo on Monday and I was going to call later on today adn see how she's doing.

And my mom just called and I'm sure that she's upset now. She wanted me to make another call about that vacation timeshare and i told her that I coudl NOT take on one more thing. I've had horrible stress headaches the past 2 days and this is the 1st day that I"ve felt good. She said that she couldn't either. Sorry. I'm just too beat down to even think about it........

Headache

Dana,

I enjoy reading your blog. I hope you have a headache free day today. Have you ever had your thyroid checked? I have thyroid problems and I noticed that in your family photo that your thyroid area of your neck looks enlarged. I don't mean that in an ugly way. Just after reading about your not feeling well, I just thought I'd mention it.

I hope you have a blessed day.
