Super Whammy Migraine Day

Today was so not good.
For starters, I didn't get enough sleep last night. I'm sure that made things worse.
I guess it just frustrates me that it's hard to function. Just when I think I can handle my situation, the pain becomes worse. Just when I think I might be able to focus and accomplish something, I have a hard time figuring out how to do something.
I spent the morning getting breakfast, had kids get breakfast (Delta made pancakes), and everyone got ready for the day.
I finished one book I had been reading, and started another.  (I'm currently reading books by Traci Hunter Abramson.)
Jayden decided that we should go to the movie today. (We do the summer movie thingamajig, where you purchase tickets for the whole summer at half the price.)
Then after that we went to the library to borrow a movie (because the movie showing was different than the one advertised). The library didn't have it, but got a movie for me.
I let the kids have friends over, then I laid down and read some more.
Tony came home and is fixing dinner while I type this hoping that maybe getting my thoughts down will help me be able to handle how I feel.

Easy Summer/After School Snack.

So I'm getting exhausted! These late nights after busy-go-go-go-and-do days are wearing me out.
To the point where what ever you want to eat is fine with me.
Chips? For lunch? Sure, go ahead.
Ramen noodles for breakfast? And lunch? And dinner? Okay.
So when I came across this post on Instagram, I was very intrigued. It reminded me of how the beginning of summer looked. And I think I can still do nothing and it will work. Slushies made with apple juice and strawberries! Brilliant!
Because let's face it, I have no energy left for super awesome snacks!
So, yeah, head over to http://www.tipsfromatypicalmomblog.com/2016/08/ad-organize-fridge-freezer-back-school.html
You will be glad you did!

Get Ready, Get Set, Treats

The best way to go at the drop of the hat, is to not have to gather too much. It drives me crazy that when I am heading to the store with the kids, it takes an hour. (That might be an exaggeration, maybe.).
Gotta find shoes, drinks, sometimes a snack, that book that can't be left, even though I don't know where it is.  Then after the first 15 minutes, they are ready to go home because shopping is boring.
Any who... We have been trying to get lots of adventures in this year. Some days we'll get everything done, no one can play, but we want to do something, so we'll go do something.
When it takes forever to get ready, it makes me not want to go.

One way to get out the door more quickly is to have snacks pre-packed, and water bottles filled in the fridge. We are ready for tomorrow when we get a hankerin' to go somewhere kinda sudden like.
