Where are you Christmas Break?

We headed back to school on the 5th...much to the dismay of my lagging brain. For some strange reason, my body and spirit were into the return to school. My brain; however, was on some sort of strange bender that prohibited normal function. The first part of the week was spent doing the typical double-time that comes with a return to school that coincides with the end of a six weeks AND semester. Even though I left my room ready for my return (yes, I'm Miss Super Anal), it seemed that hitting the hallways running didn't bring me close to being caught up. I swear, everyone who spoke to me on Monday was rewarded with a glassy-eyed expression that had DUH written all over it. Oy.
On Tuesday night, the kids returned to gym class, and Jack ended up swimming 4 nights this week instead of three. Things were going pretty good, all things considered. I managed to cook a hot supper every night, which is no small miracle in itself. (SHAMELESS PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT: If you come across one of these in your grocer's meat department, by all means, buy it. It takes all of 3 minutes worth of prep and 8 hours in a slow-cooker. Fresh veggies, fresh meat, a spice kit that is not overwhelming. Wow. Probably THE best stew I've ever eaten...and I'm not a stewie girl. Make some cornbread muffins and a salad, and you're set!)
Where was I? Oh yes, things were going fine until Thursday. I woke up with a migraine to end all migraines. I usually have about one migraine a month (wonder when that is,) but I never have a migraine that starts in the morning. I attempted to get dressed and go to school, but I called the school halfway there and told them that I was coming in but would only be there long enough to leave the sub a note. I was home and in the bed by 8:30 and stayed there until 7 that night. Luckily, Thursday night is pizza night, and PDaddy didn't have anything scheduled. He's the best nurse a girl could wish for, so I was glad his schedule was free.
Oops, PDaddy has bought Hancock on DirectTV, so I'm off to watch. We heard it was horrible, but as you know there is "I can't believe I paid $ to see this in a theater" horrible, and then there is "That was horrible, but at least we didn't have to see it in a theater" horrible.

PLEASE NOTE: The previously scheduled Topic Tuesday will air this Tuesday. Maybe I should rename that segment of my blog, "Topic Tuesday or Some Other Day That is Convenient To Me."
