I lost a day!
This hasn't been the greatest weekend I've ever had, that's for sure. It didn't start out that way though.
Friday nite was pretty fun. We ate dinner and then Ben and I decided we wanted to try to watch a movie. Olivia did pretty good and actually fell asleep through the second half of it. We watched National Treasure 2. IT was great! It's not very often that we get to watch a movie together all the way to the end! Olivia woke up after the movie, of course, and was wide awake until about 1AM. I was up anyway so it didn't bother me that much because I knew that we could all sleep late on Saturday. We were going to go to the Evan's family reunion in Hot Springs, but Ben had decided that we weren't going so we were both happy to be able to sleep in.
Well...we slept in and when I did wake up I had the most horrible headache. It felt alot like a sinus headache instead of a migraine so I took all the medicine I could think of that would help. Naproxen, antihistimine, decongestant, etc. BUT I took it all on an empty stomach...yep...not good. I've been having what we are beginning to think are gallbladder issues and it started up again after taking all those meds. So now I was dealing with a headache and stomach pain. I was in tears...no take that back...I was almost hysterical because it was hurting so bad. Ben immmediately tries to call my mom and wants to take me to the ER. I hold him off and eventually get over the stomach pain. He runs to the pharmacy to get me an Imitrex, which is a not so cheap pill I take for migraines. This usually works but this time it didn't. So I was in bed, literally, all day yesterday. I got up to go to the bathroom and to eat a tiny bit and was back in bed for good at 8:30. Those who know me know that this is waaaay early for me.
This morning I woke up at 5:30am still hurting and knew I wouldn't be going to church. I have missed every other week it seems with something going on. I fall asleep off and on until about 8:30 or so. Thinking this may be a rebound headache and nothing is going to help I call a couple friends from church and have them to be praying for me. Ben's parents also came by and said they would be praying. I took 1 more imitrex and lots of prayer and almost an hour later I am better. It may have been the imitrex that finally helped but I would be more inclined to say it was all the prayers that went up. So if you were among those that were praying, THANK YOU!!!!
I got up and spent time with Ben and Olivia and then Olivia and I had to run over to my parents for a little bit. Olivia missed her mommy just a little I think. Ben had to play mommy this weekend since I was in bed. He did very well and she survived just fine. I think he surprised him self a little bit. She did very well with him and I am very thankful that he was there to take care of her and me. He is a great husband!!
So now I am back in bed, but this time not because I have to be! This is where I chill out and get on the laptop. Olivia is spending more time with her daddy since he was the one taking care of her and that is fine with me. I welcome the break sometimes. She needs to detach from me a little bit, I realize that. She is still a mommy's girl for now though. There will be a day very soon that she will become a daddy's girl, I know I did when I was around her age, or so I'm told. SO I won't complain too much about her wanting me all the time.
I keep thinking that today is Saturday and that noone has to go to work tomorrow, but it's not, and they do. Unfortunately I lost a full day while dealing with this headache filled weekend.
