Oh dear. What a strange couple of days I've had. Yesterday, I woke up with a little headache. It really just felt like dull sinus pressure at first, but then progressed into a full-blown migraine that caused me to barf all over the carpet my hallway. I think that's the first time I haven't been able to make it to the restroom to toss my cookies since being a child. Once I did make it to the bathroom, I was throwing up so violently, that most of it went BESIDE the toilet. Sheesh.

I almost didn't clean it up right away. After all, my head was spinning and light and sound was still making my head feel like a balloon ready to pop. But I had just drank a bunch of cranberry juice prior to getting sick. I figured if I just let it be, I'd regret it. So, I srubbed the carpet as best I could and *sort of* wiped down the bathroom. I did end up feeling a little better soon after, and was able to eat some soup and toast.

I don't know what triggered that little spell. The first time I ever had a migraine, about 3 years ago, it was caused by me trying to fast for the first time and not going about it very wisely. I think I've had about 3 since then. Some I knew were caused by not eating properly. Others were just mysteries. This one was certainly a mystery. I got plenty of good nutrition yesterday - multigrain waffles w/ peanutbutter & honey, high fiber/protein cereal w/ almond milk, an apple, a turkey and cheese sandwich, plenty of water and cranberry juice (yep, the UTI symptoms are still plaguing me), and a piece of string cheese. Then, I had organic split pea soup and wheat toast after getting sick. Maybe too much protein and total lack of veggies? I dunno. I didn't have to babysit yesterday, just by coincidence, thank God!

Since I slept ALL DAY yesterday, I was unable to fall asleep last night, so I ended up sleeping until 11am today....and I woke up with a headache!!!! I feel fine now. No headache. Hooray! Still having that cruddy UTI sensation after I pee sometimes. It's not nearly as painful as some I've had in the past, and most of the time, I feel like I have knocked it out....then evening comes and I can feel its effects more plainly. Strange.

Okay, just cuz this place needs some pictures, Here's a pic of my DH when he was an Atari joystick controller for Halloween a few years ago:

I'm glad to hear you felt better after and could clean up the mess. It totally stinks when you are the only one to clean up after yourself. But character building, I'm sure. :o)

Your hubby's costume was really funny. Could he stand up with the box part around him or was that just a resting place??

So how are the diapers coming? Have you finished washing them and have you figured out where your diaper station will be? I kept diapers in the baby's room on a table and I had a basket in the front room with diapers. That way whichever one we were closest too, served the purpose.
