Day 2 of Migraine.  Not in the greatest moods, and when I want to relax I pop onto the groups, but MSN is not cooperating, and that is irritating.
 
Just made some bran muffins.  Very nice. 
 
Eldest dd has invited the new boyfriend over.  Thankfully we're ordering pizza tonight.  My back is out, and just trying to do what little I've done is not easy.  Last night I had a lot of muscle spasms, and twitching.  So I didn't get enough quality sleep. 
 
One dd is grounded, which means that she has to stay at the kitchen table.  She's 13, and disrespectful.  I don't allow that, and I find that the table also serves as a place were she has to interact with me.  It's always worked for this family.
 
I'd love to just go back to bed.

DD (13) came right in, and right over to me and appologised for everything, and told me exactly what she was appologising for.  We had a good talk, and that was the end of her grounding.  That is all I ask for, to be responsible.  How lovely.
 
Day #3 of this headache.  I know this one, and in the past it has hung around for days/weeks/months.  Dr thinks it's the fibro.  Not fun, but it could be worse.
 
So Sam's bf Adam, seems nice, but doesn't talk much, and is completely bald.  He's short, which made my son happy, because my son is taller.  However, dear Adam has something wrong with his voice, and he sounds like a dwarf. I wonder if he has had growing therapy to get to the height he is. 
 
I think that Samantha mentioned it.  She has a lot of fun with him, and he's driving hours to see her.  It's nice to see to people laughing and enjoying life.  He holds the doors for her.
 
I hope that my eyes didn't bug out of my head when he spoke.

Hello Sunflower
 One of my favorite flowers.
   My friend has the same symptoms you speak of and she speaks of some med that has taken her migraines away. She has had them for years. I will ask her later  today when I talk with her what it is. She also has been through 2 car accidents and is all banged up. She has FM and now the doctor thinks she also has MS. I hope this gets to you  (as MSN has been a pain also)and brings you some hope. I am sorry to hear your going through so much pain.
You will be in my prayers.
Hugs, Lorraine

Hey Crystal! Know what I've noticed? You always seem to look on the bright side! Very Cool! As for DD's boyfriend..at least you didn't bust out laughing like I did when Zach pointed out his major crush! I felt so bad, I swear, but shes sooo skinny & red headed..she reminds me of a match! BUT she has the absolute sweetest personality!   At least I got over the initial shock before I actually met her.
 
Hugs, Connie

Thanksgiving is this weekend, and my mil just called to say that they are coming. That adds 4 to our table.  I don't have enough glasses.  I'll have to use the good china, and silverware, which I've never used.  I don't even know how to clean silver, but I guess I'll learn.
 
They are Petacostal Christian, and we're having a pagan meal.  Go figure.   The one time I've got that all organized.  I'll invite her to do a blessing, as well.
 
Turkey, ham, stuffing (made outside bird as dd is vegan), corn, broccoli, carrots, green beans, baked white and sweet potatoes, beets, fresh cranberry sauce, garlicky biscuits.  I'll have to adjust spices as they are Jamaican, and fil is very fussy.  We're making pumpkin and apple pies.
 
I don't have the energy for this!  We'll have to clean the house, also.  It needs it! 
 
Oh my.  I'm sure we'll get through this.

Well, I up and flushed the Thanksgiving down the loo.  I cancelled the inlaws. 
 
What what I thinking?  This gosh darn fibo really affects me entire life.  I made a plan.  I assigned various people jobs.  I organized it, but then fibro lowered the boom.  The first night, I spent so nauseated that I really thought I had stomach flu or something, but by morning that tell tale fatigue from hell, had set in.  I couldn't move my backside for anything. 
 
I made an apple pie, just one, and my back gave out completely, which put my into bed.  If I tried any more I'd have been right in the wheelchair.  I don't want to go there.  I can't push myself.
 
So, my dd made the pies, which we're doing again today, because we ate the pies .  Seriously they were practise pies, and were incredibly good.  We just put on pumpkin pies and another apple pie for tomorrow.
 
Everyone has a job to do.  We're going to use the good china, and the dinning room.  We've never used the new set, so it should be special. 
 
If we had any guests, the stress would be too much.
 
I'm frustrated also because I couldn't shop for the things I needed.  Dh kindly has gone to the store  several times.  I'll just explain one thing, so you'll understand my problem.  I sent him to get 2 cans of pure pumpkin filling, or 1 large can if it was a better deal.  He gets home, and pulls two pumpkins out of the bag.  I had to send my dd's back to the store.  It's been like that. 
 
I used to enjoy going around picking out the bird, the vegetables, etc.  Now,  I have to send people out, and hope that they get something similar to what I need. 
 
It's a loss of control.  I hate having to ask for help all the time.  Last year the inlaws had been invited, but decided to go to a Church dinner, instead.  I think I cancelled them, also because I wasn't so certain that they'd show. 
 
We're going to plan a Christmas Party, and invite everyone to that, or a New Year's Day.  We can cook, and freeze stuff to cut down on the work.

I hope your feeling better and have some pumpkin pie for me with ya my favorite yummie...
 
Hugs Joanne

Awe Crystal... I'm so sorry! I know how it feels to be overwhemled. And also not to have your body coorporate (sp) with your mind. I think having a plan is a awesome Idea...
Hugs
Dawn
