Timing is everything

It’s amazing how timing can either make or break your day.

I woke up with a migraine yesterday. That is to say, the migraine woke me up. It sucks to wake up in pain. So, I go down and make the coffee that makes me sick (the non-dairy thing) and turn on the ol’ computer, so I can say hello to hubby when he gets to work. I get an off-line IM from my best friend informing me that she & her kids won’t be making it to my baby girl’s birthday party this weekend. She & her kids were the only ones left (other than my family members) who were coming , of the people I’d invited. To say this pissed me off is an understatement. But added in with my migraine, my head went into overdrive and stayed that way for hours. I’ve never had such a migraine that made me sick to my stomach. This one did. My daughter, just sitting with me an dtouching my face, made me ill. It was a BAD BAD DAY. It stayed that way, too. Nothing I did would get rid of the headache. It finally started to subside when hubby came home from work. That’s a long day of nothing but blinding pain and this whole PISSED OFF thing about my friend blowing me off yet again. I wrote a very nice, loving blog entry about hubby – blogger ate it. I did it again. Blogger ate it AGAIN. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

So, today has GOT to be better, right? Tomorrow, my baby girl, my miracle baby, turns 2. She’s such a treasure, even if “that” age is here. lol Her brother, who is 8-1/2, acts like another parent, which, in the grand scheme of things, is pretty cool. Yeah, it’s annoying when he parents her when I’M STANDING RIGHT THERE, but it’s a LOT better than him not caring at all. She’s learning to talk and count… listening to her count, it just blows me away. I have homeschooled my son for years now, teaching him how to read & write, addition, subtraction… and all the OTHER things. But now to see HER getting in on the act too… well… that’s just AWESOME.

I wanted them to have a clean, safe place to grow up, so we moved away from the city. That took us 4 hours away from any and all family (mine). So we don’t get to see them very often. My mom, though, came up when I was to have her and then again last year for my son’s birthday.

Grrrrr – something’s going on with this damned site – it ate half my post before I could post it.

So to explain – my friend is in michigan with her kids, visiting her boyfriend/master/whatever and was supposed to be home this week. Her mother, though, apparently surprised her by paying to extend her tickets so they could stay longer. So technically, it’s not her fault. It doesn’t stop it from HURTING, though… and if she does read this, oh well. I guess when she moves in a couple of months, none of it will matter anyways.

I hate it when people mess with my kids, and I made the BIG mistake of telling my son that she was coming. He really likes her and her kids. And I used to not tell him anything, so that way if things changed, I wouldn’t have to disappoint him. Well, I guess I’d better go back to that habit, because damned if it doesn’t happen way too much.

Anyways, I don’t even remember now what the hell else I’d written not 10 minutes ago so I guess I’ll just close for now. Sigh. This day has GOT to be better than yesterday, right? sheesh.
