Addie got some new glasses this week! A few posts ago, I talked about how she occasionally gets sick and does a puke, sleep, rally. Well it happened again last week and I was pretty sure she was experiencing some type of migraine because it is always proceeded by a sudden headache. Dan and I were slow to realize this because neither of us has had any experience with migraines.
She has a doctor's appointment Monday but I thought I'd do some research in the meantime. And by research I mean consult my favorite Facebook group, "The Sorta Awesome Hangout." It's a group of ladies all over the country that listen to the podcast, Sorta Awesome. I've asked so many random questions of that group of ladies and received so many helpful responses. There are thousands of members and they are all so lovely. It's probably because most of them don't live in California, sorry just saying. People from other states are always so nice.
When I described Addie's symptoms, I received MANY helpful responses and tips such as vitamins, foods to avoid and glasses she can wear in the classroom. She often has headaches after school and one of the ladies in the hangout group mentioned that her son's migraines were triggered by the overhead lights in the classroom. I went straight to wondering if I should start homeschooling her but then I kept reading. There are actually blue light blocking glasses she can wear to prevent the headaches. I bought some on Amazon that minute. She picked them out. She's now wearing them at school and keeps them in her cubby. I may get another pair for the computer at home.
This is her showing Auntie Wendy her new glasses on Marco Polo, best app ever.
Lots of things annoy me. Like LOTS. I feel bad for Dan because he gets the brunt of my attitude.
He has used the same alarm clock for many years. It has an extremely loud wake up beeping sound. It doesn't have a radio option, or any other option besides the loud beeping that wakes everyone up. And he snoozes once so we've been able to enjoy it twice each morning that he has to get up and go to work. I've tried to convince him to use his cell phone but he doesn't trust it. After me complaining excessively, he bought a new alarm clock that plays a lovely musical sound that wakes him up but lets the rest of us keep sleeping. I don't know about other marriages, but in ours, I just keep bugging Dan about something until he handles it. Love you the most Honey! I know I'm spoiled.
Angus saw the tiny box and asked if it was a new microwave. He's been begging for a new microwave since our old one broke. I've explained several times that we are not getting a new one. We don't need it and I don't trust microwaves. He misses being able to have warm milk in an instant. Now he has to wait 10 additional seconds for it to heat up on the stove.
Soccer season is over. It's only 8 weeks long but the littles were happy to be done. It's a lot of running for them. They usually play half of a game and ask if they can sit out the 2nd half, especially Angus. I bribed them with the end of the game snack every time so they'd keep playing. Sometimes Angus would just sit down in the middle of the field and take a little break. I guarantee they'll be super excited to play again next year though. The big girls love it. And Winter scored her first goal minutes before the last game ended. She was elated.
I like our little church league because they emphasize the importance of good character and sportsmanship just as much as skill. And they would do mini bible studies with the kids after each practice. I'll miss the Thursday evening social hour when all the moms would sit and talk about life while the kids practiced. That was my favorite part.
Annual Friendsgiving with old friends. This started as a group of friends from high school and we've picked up significant others and a few other favorites along the way. Some of these lovely folks I've known for over 20 years. Thanks to Melanie for hosting a beautiful Harry Potter themed night.
This is Addie with one of her favorites. When you live life at a 10, you hug at a 10.
This was so random I had to get a picture. Winter decided to sweep and the littles followed suit.
And it rained. We were playing outside on a warm afternoon and all of a sudden giant raindrops fell out of the sky.
Mya received two awards Thursday. I was supposed to be there to watch her receive the awards and clap and take pictures. Somehow I missed the memo. She forgave me because I have a pretty good track record with that stuff. She made honor roll (go grrl) and I'm not sure how she received a perfect attendance award. I think it may be a mistake but that's cool. We'll take it. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the perfect attendance award. Some parents get over concerned with achieving perfect attendance and send their kids to school sick. Don't do that parents.
This is what happens when we stay home on Saturday mornings. This is 11:00AM.
These are my two food recommendations this week:
I picked this up at Vons and it's actually really good. I'm an almond milk person so I appreciated it.
I found this at Costco last week. Their soups come and go pretty quickly so they may or may not have it. It's in the deli section. It has a tiny kick. Delicious.
Happy Thanksgiving week! We all have so much to be thankful for. So much. My thankful thing this week is kind of silly but I'm sooo thankful for my bed. I love it so much. It's big and cozy and now that the outside temps are dropping I'm really enjoying every second I spend under the covers. If you didn't know this about me, I'm really good at sleeping. I slept in until 9:00 this morning. I decided to get up when one of my neighbors started practicing the drums.
