Note: there's an old joke about a little boy asking his mother if she was having "mental pause." That's sort of accurate...
It has been such a long, yucky day. I was awakened 3 times last night with a headache. I had to toss down Motrin to get any sleep. Today I’ve had the headache off and on all day, plus just been really weak and lethargic. I think it’s all hormonal menopausal misery.
There were some things I had to do today. I had promised Alesia a trip to Kohl’s to get some new jeans. I gave her a price limit of $40 and she was able to get jeans and a cute new shirt. I like the Goodwill prices better.
I had promised Michael a new pair of tennis shoes. He can’t wear his heelys and his shoes from last year have a big hole in them. We found him some funky looking decorated tennis shoes that look sort of like the old Keds I wore as a kid. Alesia and I both tried to talk him into some Nike’s which were only a little more, and he wouldn’t budge. I hope the shoes can stand up to tennis, walking home, etc.
I felt so miserable after lunch that I couldn’t think what to do. I finally proposed a movie, and we saw Tropic Thunder. It was very funny. I know some people are upset about the film but I really didn’t think it was offensive – it’s just a parody of Hollyweird stupidity. Once you realize that, it’s funny. I wrote up a short review for my Scribblerchick’s Movie Dish.
Alesia’s IEP meeting is in the morning, early. I hope and pray I feel a whole lot better.
