The weekend was HOT around here, and we attempted to be cool as cucmbers.  Managing to have fun in spite of the heat, we did lots of home fix-it jobs, and squeezed in a choir performance and church potluck.  By Monday we were all feeling a little pooped!  Charity had a check-up with the earnosethroat doctor (that's ENT for acronym lovers).  He has been with Charity throughout her hospital stay, so it was fun to see him outside the hospital, and relate all that has gone on since we spoke with him last.  Early August, Charity will need to go into the OR again for a look down her throat to make sure that the trachea is healing and clean up any scar tissue that may or may not have built up.  This will be an out-patient visit, though an all-day affair. 

In the meantime, I have been having headaches like crazy and am trying to figure out if my diet has changed, or what exactly is going on.  Because I felt so yucky this morning, dizzy and tired and headachy, I couldn't even get up out of bed.  Will needed to get to work, so I gave the kids the "assignments" for the morning and fell asleep.  I am not sure why I was so surprised, but they were absolutely wonderful.  How do I know this - since I was asleep?  Well, Charity had been fed, changed (a poopy diaper), and given medication; Harrison and Ellie had a point system going based on how well they listened (designed by Tucker)  and everybody was very cheerful, letting me know that if I needed more sleep, they were up to the task...

Tonight is better in regards to the headache, and I'm so pleased that my children survived and flourished in spite of my half-comatose state throughout the morning!  Tomorrow we are going berry-picking, so I'd better head to bed and hope for lots of sleep, with dreams of plump, juicy berries!

Well, since you are your parents' child, I would guess the headaches could be related to the excessive heat followed by the change in air pressure with the onshore breeze! We have been dealing with headaches, too. I hope you are 'berry' much better today. :-)
Call me if you need me!
Love, Mom

Sorry to hear about the headaches (are you expecting another blessing maybe?)
But so happy to hear the kiddos were such a HUGE help to you!
