Boy did I have the killer headache today
! I don't mean like in, killer wave dude, either! The throbbing war drum 
on top of my head had totally ruined my day.
I get migraines once in a while and when I do, watch out, it throws me for a loop!
Problem is my family thinks that moms are androids and don't get aches, pains or ill in any way!
I baby them to the point that it's a bit sickening, you know, bed rest, meals in bed, the whole bit.
I get sick? The only way they would notice is if my body started to rot and decompose.
Then again they might think that Sadie had just left one of her infamous landmines or that Jose had farted! (He does that a lot!)
I was thinking of maybe doing an Oscar winning deathbed scene to see if they would nurse me, but the last time I tried that they all laughed at me and told me Julia Roberts did it better! Maybe next time they should have her wash their dumb socks!
So instead, I decided to sit in the dark and pretend I really wasn't here! I decided to travel to somewhere over the rainbow
.
It was kind of cool for a while until someone took a slalom slide down the stairs and I think broke something! (They do that a lot too!)
The commotion totally ruined the peaceful rainbow thing.
Just as I was determined to never come out of my room again because no one would notice, I heard a small knock on the door.
I had to listen intently because I wasn't sure if the knocking was coming from the door or from inside my head.
When I hear it again, I mumbled something to let whoever was there, know that I was still alive. Slowly the door opened and it was I think three of my kids, although after the rainbow thing, I wasn't sure if maybe I was just seeing munchkins.
They came in so quietly I was sure they really weren't my kids especially when none of the boys tripped over their big feet! They brought me some Chamomile tea and toast.
"How are you feeling?" one of the munchkins, I mean kids asked me.
I was suddenly feeling a lot better even though the tom-toms in my brain were still trying to send me a coded message.
They gave me a kiss and told me if I needed anything else just to let them know.
They left the room just as quietly as they had entered. As I sat in the dark sipping my tea and nibbling on my toast I was wondering when the aliens had landed and replaced my kids with clones.
Suddenly I hear the bathroom door open and someone do the butt slide down the stairs again.
"Stop making noise," one of them yelled loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear them.
"Mom's not feeling well!"
Aw, my kids were back! I guess they like me! They really like me! Okay Sally Fields I'm not! But they do like me or wait maybe they were running low on clean underwear! It did not matter I think I'll keep them dirty undies and all!
Yummy
, this tea is good!!
