It's time to update again...

Posted in General

Wow, it just amazes me at how fast time does fly by. I have so much to update, but I know going in detail on one post would be so long, not to mention boring. So I'll just briefly mention some and go into details later.

  • my older daughter did get married, almost two weeks ago, wow. She seems very happy, and I can already see some maturaty in that silly head of hers. I'm waiting for some pictures, then I will post some and go into more detail.
  • migrains....seems to be something I am dealing with  daily/every other day lately. Seems like about a month before the wedding it started. I use to be able to know when they would be coming, around my period and at ovulation. Now they are coming so often. I'm starting to chart them so I can see a doctor if they don't settle down. I've never had a problem with them concerning stress, so I don't think that is why. In the last 7 days, 5 days I've had one.
  • husband is still looking for a job. He had an interview last week and another coming up this next week, two differnt jobs. We did just recieve our last unemployment check, so if something doesn't come up in the next month or so, we may both have to find minimum wage jobs. But I'm not too worried about it. If we have to, we have to, and it will work out.
  • we had our second homeschool co-op on Monday. Dd(7) loves having cooking class (so far she has made muffins and apple salad), sign language (now if I can get her to stop signing her math), and storytime.
  • at the co-op I am teaching a dissection lab. So far we have done an earthworm and a crayfish. I'll post something later for those who are interested in doing something like this.
  • been busy in the kitchen, canned some tomatoes and applesauce. I'm going to work on apple pie filling today. Also tried some new recipes, cream of brocolli and eggplant parmesan. Both dh and dd loved. I'll post the recipes later.
  • school has been going slow lately, due to wedding and migrains, life....we are finishing up MFWAdventures week 4. I'll again share later what we have done up till that point.

I guess this will do for now, hope I didn't loose anyone. lol.....

Hi Donna,

I'm sorry to hear about your migrains, I hope that gets better soon. And happy to hear your husband is getting interviews, some don't even get that. Will continue to pray in that area. Thanks for visiting me.

Dec. 5, 2008 - Migraines

Posted by MaxwellAcademy


I can sympathize with you about migraines, I have them too. I sometimes get them around my cycles, but not always. I definitely get them because of stress, even if I don't realize I'm stressed. When my step-son got married, I volunteered to make all the food for the rehearsal dinner. I had a migraine for a month before the wedding, I'm not kidding.

I had another migraine for 9 days straight, I started writing down everything I ate and the only thing I was doing differently was eating Reese's peanut butter eggs (Easter time) and drinking caffinated iced tea. I cut them both out and the migraines wen't completely away. I've tried chocolate several times since then and I get an almost instant migraine, so I try to avoid it now.

Hope you find a solution to them, the prescription meds are outragously expensive!!
