"In your eye"
When I got up this morning (at about 4:30) to deal with Nattie, I noticed that my head was not happy. Not only did I have a migraine, but I had the kind that shoots across your forehead and simultaneously throbs in your eye even if you aren't moving your head. At about 4:45 I took some Excedrin (which usually does the trick for me).
Not today. At 5:45 my head was still pounding / eye still throbbing.
Thankfully, by 6:15 it was subsiding and by the time I got to work I was feeling alright. The verdict is still out, however, if it is going to try and attack again today. Pieces of it are definitely still lingering.
Walking the line
Macie continues to show her "everything is going to be on my time" attitude. Last night, Gina and I watched her hold her balance standing up, crouch down part way, stand back up (without touching anything with her hands) and then take about six steps to me with ease.
Yet, she still has no intentions of walking anywhere right now. We can't even get her to walk back and forth between us very often anymore, even though she absolutely loves it when we clap for her afterwords.

Yesterday morning:
Natalie ends up in bed with up at some point and when I wake up to my alarm clock she is laying perpendicular to us (i.e. Gina and I are both on my side of the bed and Gina's knee is her pillow).
Just before I leave I decide to pick Nattie up and put her head on Gina's pillow in a nomal sleeping position.
After I do that (without outright waking either Gina or Nattie up), both of them simultaneously did the following:
You'd have thought it was choreographed. It was impossible not to laugh.
I'm half way through Prince Caspian and if the book doesn't get going here soon, I can understand why it didn't do that well at the box office. It's easily the most boring book of the four I've read in the Cronicles so far. These books aren't action packed either so that's saying something.
Seeing as I needed a pick me up, I began reading No Country for Old Men this morning. It caught my attention by the end of the first page and when it was time to get off the bus something happened to me for the first time in quite a while...I didn't want to put the book down.
Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide
After no longer wanting to deal with referring to 29 different homemade lists and 44 different websites...along with always scrambling to figure out what is and is not gluten-free at grocery stores / in kitchen cabinets / at gas stations / etc., we finally broke down and bought a gluten-free grocery guide last night. I have high expectations for it since Gluten Free Mall had sixteen reviews for it, all sixteen of which are five stars.

~ turn their heads slightly to the left
~ pull up on the covers
~ try to snuggle into the pillow and get comfortable
~ realize that they aren’t comfortable
~ roll over onto their right side
~ snuggle in
~ fall back asleep

Macie will never walk and I have come to terms with that. I am starting to save for a real horse because I am sick of being hers.
ReplyDeleteLittle did you know that Natalie and I have been choreoghaphing that little number for quite some time.
And I shall be waiting with a highlighter in hand when the book shows up.
There, I commented when no one else would. Love you!
Per the title, I thought this blog was going to be about Doritos and Legos. I've got to say, I'm a wee bit disappointed.
ReplyDeleteHaving seen Nattie dance last night, I'd say its not hard to believe that they really are choreographing their little Sleepy Dance. That Nattie has some sweet moves.
