Relax

I woke up today with a TERRIBLE headache. It could be because of the long exhausting rehearsal we had last night, or maybe the early morning getting a child ready and off to her band concert early, but it was just a huge headache. I’ve also been under quite a bit of stress, what with our Bell concert tomorrow night, and getting ready for Christmas, which all has to be done before our trip. I’ve also got to clean my house, since the parents and the in-laws will be staying here to watch the kids. And I’m trying to plan for everyone’s schedules so that the week we are gone goes as smoothly as possible. So, yes, I have a bit of stress going on right now.

So, today for my preschool time (9-11), instead of going to aerobics like I usually do during preschool, I….are you ready for this?…I took a bath. A bath! Me. The queen of quick showers. I never take baths. But today, I decided that to help my headache and maybe my sanity, I was going to have a bath. So, I filled my bathtub with nice hot water, but some nice smelly bath milk in there, and took a nice dunk. It was quite nice. Afterwards, I cleaned the tub, started some laundry, started the roomba, and got dressed. I wish I had time to take a nap, but I had to pick John up at 11, so my freedom couldn’t last forever. But I’m pleased to say I feel a bit more relaxed now. Except for the fact that I totally twisted my ankle when picking him up from preschool, so now my ankle is aching (to go along with my head). The headache has not totally left yet, but after a Dr. Pepper, some chocolate and 4 tylenol, it’s much less now than before. I’m sure going to Megan’s band concert at 2:00 will help, right?
