Holy Headache!

Yesterday was a day from hell. I woke up at 4am with a migraine and couldn't get rid of it. It was one of the worst migraines I've ever had. The kids were off from school, too. In fact one of them had a friend sleeping over Thursday so it wasn't just my kids I had to worry about. I had a friend coming over for a run at 9:00..I knew there was no way that was going to happen.

Luckily, I have the best husband in the world..he got me an ice pack for my head and he even ended up taking the day off to take care of the kids. He kept them quiet/took them out, etc. so I could rest. I don't know what I would've done if he weren't able to stay home.

In the middle of all that, I got a voicemail saying that a realtor wanted to bring someone by to show our house...hmmm..how would we swing that. I was so sick with my headache that I was even vomitting. If you know me, you know I do not vomit. I will do anything in my power not to do that, but I lost the battle yesterday.

How would we get the house ready, get myself ready, etc..well, once again my husband came to the rescue. Somehow I got myself together, we got the house ready and he left with the kids & the dog. We decided since I still wasn't feeling well that it would be less work for me to be the one to show the house than for me to leave with the 3 kids and the dog for who knows how long.

So, the appt. was from 2-3. At 2:30 the realtor called and said she was stuck in a closing and is 3:30 okay. Fine. Well, 3:30 came and went. Nothing. 4:30 - Still nothing. Then, I decided to call the realtor and got her voicemail. I left a message asking her if she was still planning on coming or did she want to reschedule. In the meantime, my husband is driving around getting the kids ice cream...he went over to a friends house and luckily was able to stay there with the whole gang until I eventually made the decision that the showing was not going to happen.

Finally, at 5:30 the realtor called back and said first she was stuck in the closing. After that, her client called and said it was too late and she couldn't go looking at houses, and lastly her cell phone died. My husband asked me how I reacted to all that. If I had been feeling better, I don't think I would've been as nice to her. However, being that I was still feeling completely lousy I was nothing BUT nice to her. I just didn't have the energy for anything else. I was just thankful to be able to go back to bed.

Larry ended up staying at our friend's house for dinner and then they all watched a movie together. These are our Friday night friends. They're the BEST!Thank God for good friends!

They didn't come home until 11:00 last night. I still was feeling like garbage, but managed to get a good night's sleep. Today, I feel better, but I have to say still not 100%. Sometimes migraines linger. It's weird. But, at least I'm sitting here drinking a cup of coffee and I can function.

My running this week hasn't been much since the half one week ago. I went for a 4 mile run on Monday because my legs just felt so tight. It's been a bad weather week so I told myself it was okay to take it easy between the weather and just running the half. I'm still so psyched about my time..2:05. Wow! But, I haven't been running since Monday. It has been weird to take almost a whole week off. I never do that.

I think we're gonna do a little experimenting with the Galloway method this morning. Looking forward to it. I hardly ate anything yesterday so I hope I'll be okay to run. My tank is EMPTY today. I'll have to force myself to eat a half of a bagel or something this morning. Well, I should get crackin' :)
