Feeling better today. The headache no longer covers my entire right side of my head, now it is just sort of hovering a little above my ear with an occasional sharp leap into my temple. Snot is mostly gone too. Maybe I can finally start thinking about something other than how sorry I feel for myself. Yeah, really need to get out of that.

"What's your opinion about child harnesses?"

"What's your opinion about child harnesses?"

This is a subject that was up for discussion on babycenter.com recently. It was absolutely startling to see how many people think that they are "barbaric", "like treating your child like an animal", and (my favorite) "you need to learn how to be a better parent". Personally, I want to meet these people and find out exactly how good of a parent they are when they are six months pregnant trying to hold the hand of a two year old, who typically gets to leave the house twice a week, in the middle of a department store where you are simply trying to walk down the aisle to leave and he is wrenching at his hand attempting to dislodge it from your grasp thus causing you to squeeze tighter onto said hand then realizing you may be squeezing to tightly and you relax your grasp just enough for the child to dart off and you waddle along after him with your sciatica acting up horribly trying to catch up with him only to repeat the process at least forteen times bfore finally making it the final six feet to the door. Heh, how good of a parent can anyone be when humans don't have that part of their brain developed fully until age twenty five? And honestly, children are animals period.

Did you ever wonder which came first, the 'f' or the 'ph'?

Did you ever wonder which came first, the 'f' or the 'ph'? I just started thinking about that a minute ago. What if they (you know, who ever it was that started coming up with all these words and spellings and things in the first place) started with 'ph', but then decided that they needed a shorter way of writing it so they pulled the 'p' up from hanging below "the line" and cut part of the loop and shoved it over a bit thus creating the 'f'? What an incredible hypothesis?!? I should lecture on it at universities.

In other news, today was a good day. It had a rough start but it got better with good company. My sister and her husband are in town with their three little ones. The other day (wow, that was just yesterday?) when I did so much happy singing and dancing because of the lack of an achy head did not continue on in that form. By mid-day I was miserable again. I got remotely better by the end of the day, but still felt pretty achy and tired from the meds. Hypnotising myself by getting absorbed into my crocheting has been the best help, I think. This morning I woke up good, but by the end of breakfast was in pain again. The medicine seemed to take a much longer time to kick in when I took it this morning. I need to take more now so that I will be able to fall asleep without pain. On the scale of one to ten with one being pain free and ten being excruciating (look up where that word came from to know what I am talking about) pain, right now I am at about a five or six. This morning after breakfast I was closer to an eleven or twelve (not exaggerating). That has pretty much been how these headaches have been since they started though. I have so much more respect for chronic migraine sufferers now. I am way not as snotty now though! That is a big plus.

Another thing happened today that I thought was beautiful. When giving hugs and kisses for bed, my niece also hugged and kissed my swelling abdomen (the haven of one who had hiccups for the first time today). It was so sweet. Also, my boy, upon seeing his cousins giving kisses and hugs felt he needed to do it as well. He hugged both of them. It was so adorable. I wish I had felt like moving the two feet it would have taken for me to grab the camera and snap a few shots, but I am lazy.

Praise be to the Lord on the highest and peace to His people on earth.

I wish I could put little musical notes out to the side to denote to you that I am singing with a will. Last night after unable to bite my lip and suck it up anymore I sat in bed crying pulling at my hair knowing that Rc can sleep through a herd of elephants. I am so sorry I woke you up, hunny. But that blessed angel woke up and told me I had to take the medicine he got for me. Oh, makers of sudafed, most blessed among the upright citizens of the world. My headache is gone!!!!! I hate relying on medicine to make me feel better. I generally just wait it out, because I am of the school of thinking that nothing will last forever, and if I just stoically go my way, do my thing, push the pain to the back of my mind, then it will go away. What a putz I can be sometimes!

sinus vs. tension

According to WebMD I either have a sinus headache or a tension headache. Since I am pregnant, the only thing I can do is take tylenol and tough it out. Yes, notice I am blogging at three am. My head hurts so bad it really feels like it is going to split. Just the right side though, the left side is fine. I really wish there was some way I could just remove the right side of my head right now so that I can lay down to sleep. Yes, laying down hurts my head, so does a person next to me in bed who coughs for two hours without doing anything about it.

I remembered a short while ago something that happened yesterday that was utterly beautiful. While outside watching the kiddo play in the back yard, a gust of wind gently lifted up a small pile of leaves on the back slab and whirled them into the air in a mini-cyclone. He noticed this and ran over to watch it, so I thought. When he got to where the leaves had just stopped spinning he stood there spinning in circles himself. It was a wonderful beautiful moment I hope I never forget. I was truly something I wish I had caught on film, or rather on disk.

Is everything bigger, or is it just me?

I am feeling a bit better now.

I am feeling a bit better now. My ear isn't as clogged up. I have full working capabilities of my left nostril intact. Unfortuately, the entire right side of my head feels just about ready to split open. I am guessing this is due to the fact that my snot has morphed into a Jekyll and Hyde/Two-Face/Janus type of monster that has decided to abandon one side of my head in order to make the other side completely miserable. I had B-H contractions all day yesterday and so far all day today. These, too, seem to be morphing into something that doesn't really seem to be fit for human experience. It isn't painful like true labor, it just hampers all movement creating great discomfort in my back and causing me to walk somewhat like a badly modulated android (C-3PO for instance). WOW... Hey, this says to me, "everybody feel sorry for me." I apologize for my constant complaining... but I'm not taking it off. In four or five years when she learns how to read, I want her to come on here to see this so that I can easily retain dominion over her in order to make her do the dishes without arguing.
I sat outside in this beautiful weather for about an hour earlier today watching my big boy run all over the place pushing his car/scooter thingy backward back and forth across the yard. It was lovely. I have a question for the mommies (and daddies) who read this. We spent an hour outside, should I have put sunscreen on him?

Physics Warnings

This page is full of the typical warning labels that you get in those ridiculous forwards that people love to send time and time again. I, however, want to point out about halfway down the page it goes into non-existant warning labels having to do with current thoeries about physics. These are great wonderful humor for any of my geeky friends.

I am still sick...

I am still sick... I thought I was on the upside of this bug, but it seems like instead it has just mutated into something beyond imagination. Well, ok, I exaggerate a bit. I probably am on the upside of it, it just has moved to another part of my head. Before it was massive amounts of snot (see previous posting), now it is all in my right ear. That's right, massive amounts of snot in my right ear instead of dripping out of my nose. It seems to be completely clogged up. All sounds are very very muted. It just sucks. I wish it would go away. But then again, if wishes were fishes...

Also, I have been reading the Redwall books again. It is only the fourteenth or so time that I have read them (which some of you know that that falls short of how many times I have read The Lord of the Rings trilogy {about twenty four times} or the Darkchild trilogy {about thirty six times}). I realize again when I read them how much of what I think of as myself is my attempt to model my life/morals after that of a fictional character. Funny, huh? When you read a book that many times and try as hard as you can to be like this character or that one, when you need to be reading another book entirely and trying to be like that main character who is not fictional at all... Funny...

UUUuuuhhhhhhhhghghggggggggg… Braxton-Hicks, more like crap from de Debul.......

posted by Jedi Master Deba Sing @ 1:36 PM 0 comments

I got on the computer not forty five minutes ago full of wonderful journalistic views on the volume of excess mucus in my head and now they have just evaporated. Not the snot mind you, but my colorful descriptions of said snot. Another empty box of tissues. That makes three boxes of tissue used up in three days. Right now the only way that I can keep my right eye-ball from popping out from all of the mucal build-up behind it is by physically holding it in with one hand. There is a pain inside of one of my nostrils that feels like I am having the lining scraped out with a Q-tip with no cotton on it. And the area in the back of your throat where your nose leads to feels like it is torn or something. Most likely from sheer volume of traffic.

ADVERTISEMENT:
For any who suffer from excessive snot and thus excessive nose blowing.
Go down to your local tattoo parlor and purchase Tattoo Goo. It is made up of mostly natural ingredients. It helped RC's latest tat (from like two years ago) heal in less than a week. This week I decided that in order to keep my two year old from screaming bloody murder every time I blew his excessively snotty nose I needed to put something on it to heal it, but not something that would make him break out or cause blindness and stuff. So I decided, we are broke, I am pregnant, we aren't going to be getting tatts anytime soon, I'll just slather a wad of this on his nose. Guess what?!? Redness, crackiness, soreness gone!! Now after I blow his nose he pantomimes rubbing the stuff on, after I blow my nose he does it to me! He doesn't scream with the pain of a raw nose everytime I blow it! And he has gotten incredibly good at blowing his nose which I couldn't be more proud of. But seriously folks, buy this stuff!!! Really.

Ahh.. The silence. Here I sit, at almost ten thirty in the morning, with not a peep around me. The child, he sleeps still. Rc started a new job today after having been unemployed for almost four or five weeks, don't remember which. I woke up before eight o'clock with a very owie back. I can only guess it is from that thirty minute stint of Braxton-Hick's contractions before I went to bed at about midnight. Man, life seems to be looking up, a bit. I may get to retain my sanity today since Rc is gone for like all day, for the first time in like four or five weeks, don't remember which. Not that I don't love him, it is just that you can only go so long seeing someone every day, all day before the just start driving you nuts. Ahh.. Just as suspected. The peace was not meant to last. The child, he awakens...
