What a day!

This morning at 5AM I awoke to quite possibly the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. It was my first official migraine headache. It was a paralyzing pain, and I just laid there and prayed for relief. I was literally in too much pain to move, and the thought of getting medicine was just overwhelming. My wonderful husband finally stirred about 7 and I begged him to get me pain killers. I had mentioned to my doctor last week that I had begun having "mini-migraines" and he prescribed some heavy duty drugs for me. THANK GOD! Unfortunately, I never really got to sleep so I've pretty much been a walking zombie most of the day. The kids had school today for a make-up day, but my wonderful husband was off today. He spent the day continuing our car shopping from yesterday. Fortunately, he found a used car and we were able to get a really good deal. The dealership was very near my parents, so he was able to return the vehicle we had been borrowing all at the same time. On the down side, my husband has a poor sense of direction, and it took him nearly two hours to make the 40 minute drive home from my parents. He almost ended up in Indiana! By the time he made it home we were both frustrated, and my zombie state doesn't help. We decided to order a quick pizza and we took a ride in the new car to pick it up. We've all been fed now, and since I can feel another (hopefully much milder) headache coming on, I'm looking forward to bed. May tomorrow be a quiet day!
