Choosing Joy - Through headaches

Red#3


Well today was a rough day for me. I woke up exausted and I had tweaked a muscle in my neck so it was stiff and painful to turn my head. My schedule was thrown off since I needed to go to walmart and buy our decorations for the Christmas party tomorrow (did I mention I have lost my drivers liscense?) Miguel went and played golf while I stayed home with Abby and Josiah. Abby would not stay in her seat, which made her schooling take forever to finish, and Josiah (whom i've been calling little Joey) was fussy all day (ask Katarina, she called while he was crying) Anyhow, my head was pounding, my patience was depleted, my house is a mess and I wanted to cry. Really hard. I just wanted to cry. (partly due to AF) I was so busy all morning trying to get us out of the house to go to walmart that I didn't have time to eat until we got home which was about 1:25. So that didn't help in any way. I called Miguel and asked him if he was going to be home soon and he said yes. Five minutes before he got home, Josiah settled down, I had a chance to eat something and Abby was almost done with school. It seemed like sunshine walked in the door with him. He watched Josiah for me so I could have a break and I went online a little... I took three tylenols and put Josiah down for a nap. I got some things done and then we watched the Bears game, they won!!!! I had a cup of coffee and dh and I watched The Office together. Josiah went to bed thirty minutes early and Abby went to bed at her normal time. My house is still a mess and I have a lot to do tomorrow. But I am choosing joy because for now, my house is quiet, I'm going to bed soon and my headache is gone. Praying tomorrow will be better !
Did I mention that Josiah finally rolled today? He did it like two times, while screaming his head off! And his two bottom teeth have broke through!
