The anatomy of a migraine

Occasionally, I get migraines. Maybe four times a year. I have had a doozy of a migraine for the last 48 hours. It's still lingering. Thank God for my in-laws who came to the rescue last night since my husband is working out of town. And thank God for expired pain medication that was still in the cabinet from my c-section. The pain meds still work.

I've been asking myself why this migraine was so bad. Why it's lasting so much longer than others I've had in the past. I think it is a combination of things:

A) hormones (gotta love em')

B) My sinuses have been bothering me for a about 2 weeks

C) Car rides like this one

Toddler nazis

Remember when I told you that Riley had some killer dance moves that resembled Elaine from Sienfeld?

Well the girls have found a new way to irritate each other that reminds me of another famous Seinfeld episode. All three of them take part in playing nazi or victim at some point in the day.

A conversation goes something like this:

Riley: "Mommy, I want milk."

Alyssa or Makena: "NO MILK FOR YOU!"

Riley: Wahhhh (crying), "Sissy said no milk."

OR

Makena: "Mommy, I go night-night."

Riley or Alyssa: "NO NIGHT-NIGHT FOR YOU!"

Makena: Wahhhh (crying), "Sissy said no night-night."

OR

Alyssa: "Hold you mommy."

Makena or Riley: "NO MOMMY FOR YOU!"

Alyssa: Wahhh (crying), "Sissy said no mommy."


Everytime it happens, I try not to laugh but it's hard not to because the unsuspecting toddler's reaction is always the same no matter who it is. So for all you Seinfeld fans, I leave you with a soup nazi clip (with a little Schmoopie talk thrown in).
