Saturday Play by Play

9:30 a.m.

I woke up this morning rearin' to go!

Not really.

Not quite.

But I pretended I was for about ten minutes.

Instead it went something like this... Woke up during the night and realized I had a migraine. "No!" I screamed to myself. "It's Friday night / Saturday morning and this is supposed to be the night when I can get some really good sleep, and sleep in! A migraine just will not do!!! Grrrrrrr..."

Thankfully, my migraines aren't the monsters they used to be. (Due to some dietary changes? I think. I hope. I believe.) So, even though it lingers on this morning, I'm not flattened out in agony and/or having to take any medication. I can live with that. In fact, I'm pretty happy about that. I'd just be even happier if the migraines went away altogether.

Anyhow...

I did get to sleep in a bit, and am now in Saturday morning slow motion mode. For about ten minutes I started thinking about all the things we should get done today... Grocery shopping, fencing, the laundry pile that is bigger than Mt. Everest, etc., etc... Then I got real about the fact that I still feel pretty wiped out from a busy week and the overnight migraine, so maybe I'd just better take it down a notch. Maybe, oh I don't know, eat some breakfast first and see what happens beyond that.

Be back later to let you know how it goes. At this point it could go either way... All-day napping, or hard-core chore doing. Stay tuned!

2:30 p.m.

Well, my ten minutes of 'rearin' to go' have morphed into 'laying low'. The morning consisted of catching up on my Army Wives and a little laundry folding. Mr. Blue Eyes and the kiddos were busy getting into all manner of things in our basement (play dough, t-ball, random toys that I had packed away) and the kids spent a very, very large portion of the morning in their underwear.

I get my r&r by watching Army Wives; the kids get theirs by lounging around in their underwear. It works.

After lunch, Burles and I went for a little walk. It has been raining off and on for the last couple days, and the moisture isn't all that unusual around these parts, but it's actually kind of... warm! Which is unusual. It seems like we've been wet and cold forever. Feeling warm and muggy is a bit of a shock to the system, but we'll take it.

Off I go, to continue on my path of mild productivity. Wish me luck!

7:30 p.m.

Mild productivity continues. Actually, I hunkered down on the couch for quite awhile this afternoon and made leaps and bounds on some website work (for someone else, not mine) that I needed to get done! Hurrah!

Tonight... Tornado warnings on the t.v., but thankfully not for us. We're off to go for a little drive before calling it a day.

Hope your Saturday was a good one!
