Friday Night Out

We were planning on going to Manti to the Stake Temple Night on Friday, but we didn't make it. I was hit with a major headache about 9:00 am...Literally came one quick. My family knows I don't ever get headaches, so when one comes on I always worry. This one hit me like a sledge hammer, sudden and horrible. I hurried to the office to get in the cupboard hoping to find a tylenol, and found an Excedrin, which I took. It didn't help much. Took another one at 12:00 and found a little relief. It was a very difficult day in class with such a pounding head. I know the kids are really anxious to be able to go outside and play more. I hope next week brings a little bit of relief in the temperatures.

Garth has been taking 4 hours a day of vacation time so he doesn't loose his vacation from last year. But, of course, he really isn't vacationing. Instead, he is working at his second job. I guess that is earn money for the vacation this year, which we will probably never take because he gets behind at work if he takes vacation! What a circle of life! Anyway, the "second job" has been swamped with cars needing inspection and oil changes. He was going to take the afternoon off so we could go to the temple, but with my terrible head ache, we decided to just stay home.

The headache, busy at work, and the cold weather all lead to us deciding to just stay home. Boy did we give into temptation. We got pizza and bread sticks for dinner and just sat in our warm little living room and watched movies. Yes, my dear children, we watched movies, and I stayed awake. I can say plural "movies", more than one. Two in fact. But does it matter if it was the last hour of each movie? We didn't rent one, but went channel surfing. Found one movie that we had both seen before and watched the last hour, then changed to another movie we had seen and watched the last hour of it! It was great and I didn't fall asleep. My head was still hurting.

I tossed and turned most of the night with strange dreams. I dreamed it was the last day of school and I had report cards all sealed up in their envelopes, then remembered that I didn't put in the "Certificate of completion of third grade" papers, so I was hurrying to get them in. It is strange what teachers dream when they are doing report cards. Maybe that means they really willnot complete third grade.

So here I am this morning, Saturday morning, and I still have a headache. Not quite as bad, but one I can feel. I guess I will just sit here and work on grading papers, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, maybe read a little bit. It is too cold to go outside and do anything else.

Have a great day!
