What did I ever do?
Why is it that migraines have to happen so damn frequently these days? And why the #$%@, when I am on my own with the kids during school holidays?
Woke up with a raging one this morning, so bad in fact that I ended up vomiting, which is not pleasant at any time and when your head already feels like it's exploding, well, not great.
I love me girls though. ElderM generously noted that she would be somewhat upset at missing her knitting class, but that she did in fact have a notion of how to do it and could do some knitting at home. The girls then fed themselves breakfast, watched a movie, and then snuggled for a while. I struggled up to take some more medication and cook them some noodles for lunch, whereupon they did the dishes after themselves while the meds got me to the point I could digest a piece of toast.
I am now feeling better, in that slightly spacey meds-induced, brain-knot-released, buzzy fuzzy way.
I am going to take them to Borders this afternoon - they can colour in with YoungerM's old kindy teacher while I hide in a bookshelf for a while, and that way it feels like we've done something outside the house. Because you can only expect so much patience from two little girls.
God knows what I'll do for dinner.
