All stress and no play makes Cranky's brain hurt
Well, today was chaotic. I worked all day with a killer migraine. It was one of those pukey, sparkly, mind numbing, vision altering sort of migraines--the kind that make you feel like you just stepped off of a tilt a whirl after drinking and suddenly it's dusk. Anyone had one of those? I took 2 migraine pills to no avail, dealt with kids all day, and then came home to babysit my friend's two kids.
I love these kids, but man, babysitting with a migraine is not a good idea. the constant drone of "I don't want to eat that. I like this. I don't want to do my homework. I don't want my juice. Don't you have other juice? I want a Coke. Can I eat my candy instead? Where's the kitty? Can we watch a move? are we going to the children's museum? Can we go to mc Donalds? I don't like cheese. I learned Z today. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...la lal lalalalalalalalalalala! Damn, I thought I was going to full on pass out. I let them pick out a movie, only to notice later that it was the Simpsons Tree House of Horror DVD. I zoned out completely(trying to go to my happy place) before I heard, "Aunt Kim, why did their heads just come off?" Then the little one says, "Eat my shorts." I quickly pulled out an old Casper DVD.
I then hear the phone ring but can't find it because the little one was sitting on it. I hear her butt ringing but think it is my headache echoing the sound. anyway, the machine comes on and it's Edgy's mom saying in an upbeat tone, "Hey guys. It's Mom. Just thought I'd touch base with you and let you know how my day went. Catch ya later; bye." Knowing his mom, I called Edgy immediately, once I found the phone, and told him to call her back ASAP. Turns out, she was in the hospital with a heart "episode." Not sure what it's all about, but she'll be in the hospital for a couple of days for tests.
Anyway, at that point I've got kids asking me for things and cats screaming and my head pounding and I can't find a long sleeved shirt because I know I need one because it was cold in there last time and I just kept thinking Jesus I've got to get to the damn hospital. I couldn't even problem solve, which is not usually like me in a crisis. I'm usually the level headed one. I was like silly putty today. I'm on 3 migraine pills and some grease now, so I feel a little better. It's at the burning stage instead of the pukey one. I still can't think right, as you can tell by the fragments and bad punctuation on this blog entry.
So we'll visit mamaedgy tomorrow and find out what's up.
In other news, sad to read that Rosa Parks died and that Greenspan's reign has come to an end. What in the hell is going on in this country?
