Everywhere I look I see work to be done. Laundry to fold. Plants and gardens to be tended to and watered. Countertops to de-clutter and wipe down. Food to cook. Bathrooms to clean. Floors to mop and toys to put away and vacuuming and dusting and and and… and we need milk.<\/p>\n
Wednesday morning I woke up with a nasty headache that progressively got worse as the morning wore on. I met up with my buddy Ingrid and her kids at the playground and was\u00a0not pleasant\u00a0<\/em>to be around, unfortunately. (sorry Ingrid) After leaving and driving the kids home, that nasty headache had turned the corner into a full-fledged migraine, and then the mother-of-all-migraines, which is to say I was in so much pain I actually considered going to a doctor. Only, I knew what was going on and that there was nothing anyone could do. Once a migraine is in full force, medication doesn’t tend to do anything. Plus, I’m breastfeeding, so that’s out anyway. All afternoon I tossed and turned while Elisa, then Andrew cared for the kids and fed them dinner, then in the evening I huddled over the toilet for the grand finale until finally I fell asleep around 10pm. Miserable, but for the most part, over.<\/p>\n And after one day of lost productivity, I feel overwhelmed and behind. It’s amazing, after one day, how much housework piles up. But it will have to wait. I have superheroes to walk to the playground (a delightful job I will put off housework for any day)!<\/p>\n Happy weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everywhere I look I see work to be done.
