This week has been something else. I woke up Monday morning with a terrific headache. I had stayed up too late the night before, woke up too early and suffered greatly from it. Someone should have reminded me that staying up late is not smart!

I made it through Monday, but we declared it a non-school day due to my terrific headache. This reminds me of why I'm to be careful with what I do. It might *seem* like an innocent activity but if it throws my family out of kilter, it's not. I had been up way too late with a book that I "couldn't put down". It was an excellent book, but not worth what follows.

Tuesday (yesterday) we *all* woke up late. The rains came through and it was so dark outide and quiet............we all slept soundly. I woke up and realized that my headache was a full blown migraine. I managed to sit up most of the morning. My head continued to throb and I decided to go ahead and take some medicine.

I waited til dh got home for lunch and ate a bit, then slipped into bed and stayed there for 4 solid hours. The medicine I took caused me to sleep soundly for that long.

I woke up and moved around cautiously. My mind and body had trouble working together. I was literally swaying while I was walking and my children were trying to help me get seated.

This morning I awoke late..........still with a headache, though decidedly not as bad as the one I had yesterday. I got up and managed to make it through the day without feeling too terribly bad.

I am still a bit woozy from the medicine. I'm learning as I go. Sometimes I seemingly innocent thing can cause much havoc. It's wise to use restraint and to lean towards moderation. Had I done that, my week might very well have turned out differently. I am so thankful for His mercy and forgiveness. I do not want to be one of His children that has to learn "the hard way".
