Migraines in the morning, South Pacific in the evening, Migraines at Supper Time...!

Pah. Mummy and Jessie day started out with my waking up with a migraine. Damn Migraines. A pox on them all. I choked down two migraine pills and went back to bed for a while and woke up feeling much better. We decided to pass on the scented candle shopping though...a recipe for migraine headaches if ever I needed one. We left the house a little later than planned but Jessie was all showered and coiffed, fingernails painted, lovely outfit on, necklace chosen with care, purse filled with suitable Mummy and Jessie accoutrement...! Adorable! I asked her to help me pick out my outfit too and she helped me chose a necklace that would fit the bill nicely! ;D We set off via the gas station and sucked half of the money out of our bank account to fill the van! Then to music store to check out the Violins..!! Jessie is convinced she would like to learn to play so we looked into their rental program ....! We also tried out the banjo's, strummed the beautiful guitars and fiddled with the keys on the keyboards! After that, the library to drop off a book, then on to Hobby Lobby to browse the yarns and the crafts. From there, Michaels... More Yarn, more crafts!! After Michael's Barnes and Noble....!! Ahhhhh!!! We love the smell of the place!! I looked at crochet books and wine books and Jessie looked at all sorts of other books. I tried to show her how the Magic Eye books worked but my head was NOT going to let me fool around with that sort of thing and Jessie had no idea what I was talking about. Sad. She'd love them once she could SEE them! :D Anyway, from Barnes to Panera! Chicken Noodle and Hot Chocolate for the Beans, Black Bean soup and hot tea for me!! We sat and chatted as we ate and watched the snow start to really accumulate out the window! After we'd picked up some soup to take home to the boys we headed out to Super Saver to get some milk and also some apple pie and donuts. (shhhh!! Don't tell anybody about the junk we eat...!!!) We then started for home with Jessie reading her book along the way ( oh, she bought The Lightening Thief book... whatsisname and the Olympians...) The boys were pleased to see us when we got back and they gobbled up the soup immediately! ;D Rex put on South Pacific and we sat together and watched that, singing along with the songs! At intermission we ate apple pie and hot custard ( Rex and I ) and donuts for the kids. It was gooooood!! ;D Once the movie was over it was pretty much bed time. I took Jack up and gave him a quick bath and Jessie got herself ready. Jack went to sleep in no time flat and Jessie was almost asleep when I went in to say goodnight. She kept thanking me for a great Mummy and Jessie day....!!! I really LOVE spending the day with her, she's a delight.




Once the kids were sleeping I came back down and sat with Rex. We watched some real life murder thingy ( which I KNOW I have seen YEARS ago...) and I crocheted some more on a shawl I'm making. I noticed after a while that my head was pounding again and when the news came on and police lights were flashing on the screen, well, that was that. Another migraine, to round out the day!!! ARRGHH!! ;D Still... my wonderfully sumptuous and cozy cozy bed awaits.....

Goodnight, all.

Your day--minus the migraines--sounds lovely. You've inspired me to do more one-on-one with each boy. Consulting my calendar...

Lovely. I need to do this with my dd ... and do let me know what you all think of the Lightning Thief. Huge hit with my 9 and 11 yo.
