I'm tired of headaches. This is my second migraine in a week's time. I'm tired of blind spots, wanting to throw up because of the pain, and the after effects that seem to linger for a few days.
I'm tired of messes. A took the boys camping in the desert for a few days. I was so happy to have them come home yesterday, but not happy about the mess they brought with them. S and I quickly realized over the weekend that it's really the two boys (T and H) who make the big toy messes around here. She rarely even plays in the toy room anymore.
I'm tired of loud children. It is much, much quieter without T and H around. Within just a few hours of them returning yesterday, they both had been sent to their room for swordplay that barely avoided breaking the TV. I love them both dearly, but they are very loud and very crazy 99.9% of the time.
I'm tired of general disobedience, rudeness, and selective deafness. "H, let's do your homework. "No, I don't want to do homework." "T, please get in your carseat and put on your seatbelt." (He was still scrambling into his seatbelt as I was backing out of the garage.) "S, get your coat on and your teeth brushed. The carpool will be here soon." (5 minutes later--same request. Carpool honks and still no coat on.)
If you're planning on writing a comment/calling me and reminding me that there are much bigger problems in the world and I shouldn't let the small stuff get to me, please don't. I know these things, and I usually do a pretty good job of telling myself that my life is good and I shouldn't complain. But--remember the migraine? I'm in a bad mood and I'd like to stay there for a while.
Update: T and I just danced in the kitchen for a bit, and I may feel slightly better.

Have you looked into hormonal disturbances as triggers to your migraines? The fact that you stopped nursing will likely trigger the return of "other things" (if it hasn't already) and those other things have been known to trigger migraines. Or it could be dietary or sleep (what's that, you say?) related.
or maybe you just need a new contacts prescription (pregnancy changes eyes along with everything else and now that you're working and reading more again, things might be out of whack) Migraines make everything worse. I'm so sorry. I wish I could scoop your noisy boys up and take them to my house for a while so you can get some rest. Sending love and hugs and mufflers for boys your way (if only, right?)!
hey, little miss grumpy. you stay in your grumpy place as long as you need to. sometimes it just feels good. but i do suggest more dancing.
you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey. you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.
Do you feel any better?
migraines STINK! I get them all the time. They put me out flat with an ice pack, a dark room and an exedrin! GOODLUCK!
I know this is a day late, but feel free to get your Grump on, Sister... you're entitled. Not every day can be a "healthy-perspective-makes-it-all-better" kind of day, no matter what Tony Robbins and Dr. Phil say. :)
Perhaps consuming quantities of chocolate and peanut butter, in large and equal measure, would help? At least with your mouth full you can't complain! Eat some for me, too... I'm off sugar for a while. (Yeah, you want to talk about BAD MOOD? Let's chat. :)
So you have gone to the bad place. I know all about it. Where everyone and everything moving, talking, or making any noise just annoys me to no end. Where all I dream about is alone quiet time for a very long time....like until I say I want to be done not when the noisy people decide to come back.
I hear you girl...I will leave you in the bad place and say maybe just maybe chocolate covered cinnamon bears would help. I would buy some and send them to you but you live in the only place I've ever seen them...so send me the bill!! love you girl!
So sorry your having a hard time hang in there
