1. Thanks for all the topic ideas and questions, they're all good ones and will be answered at some point though right now they seeming a bit daunting. I'm going to need to dig out and scan some old photos to answer some of them and I'm going to need to take some new photos to answer others, it's like a project but different.
2. Yesterday's peaceful Sabbath ended up giving me a killer migraine (oh the humanity!). It was brutal and involved me lying in my dark bedroom willing it to end while the Relpax tried to work its magic, then eating dinner with the family while wearing sunglasses (the kids found this highly amusing), then back to the bedroom for another hour. I finally surfaced migraine free at 8:45 and joined the family to watch the end of "Elf". I'm so grateful that Relpax works on my migraines, but am now totally bummed out because I used my last one and they are quite pricey to refill, especially now that we don't have insurance.
3. Last Thursday, I picked Eva up from preschool and took care of her for a few hours while Michelle was on a field trip with Lucas. Eva and I played for over an hour. I thought it was funny that while we were playing with her Little People house I wanted the baby to take a long nap. I found myself discoursing on the importance of the baby taking a long nap and how it will make her feel better and not be grumpy later and how the mom and dad need a break. Sheesh, you'd think I had to deal with a baby daily and yet my baby just turned 8!
4. I've been taking some pictures of babies lately and have had fun with that. It's nice to be able to earn some money while providing families with pictures of their sweet kids. Every time I do this I find myself thinking how crazy it is that my untrained hobby has turned into something more.
5. I really need to have a meeting with myself about Christmas. I'm not feeling very Christmasy yet, but must get over that so that I'm not scrambling at the last minute. It just seems like I always get my best ideas when I'm just about out of time, it's cruel.

Oh, Jill! I am so sorry you got a migraine on top of it all! I have heard there is nothing worse than a migraine. I don't get them...and I can't imagine how awful it must be...I am so glad you have medicine that actually helps!
Oh, dear. I'm sorry about the migraine. And especially sorry that you're out of Relpax! Yikes.
Thanks again for playing with Eva while I was gone. I love that picture! I had to laugh, though, because I always feel a twinge of panic when I'm playing with her and her animals take 10-second naps. No! That was too short! I never thought about it before you brought it up.
You're giving people such a gift when you take pictures of their babies and kids.
I had a mini-meeting with myself about Christmas, but I need to continue that meeting...
between your *meeting* and carlo's *action plan* i am feeling a great sense of urgency to formulate my holiday plans (so that my holidays don't end up feeling URGENT!) thank's for the gentle reminder.
i get headaches, but (thankfully) have not had a migraine since i was pregnant with jack. i sympathize with you. it just stinks that prescriptions are so expensive! we have insurance, but with the changes over the past few years, it almost feels like we don't.
I do get migraines and I totally feel for you. (And me when they take over.) I did not know that there is a magic pill, humm. Time to sell some blood so Mama can get some of those.(Kidding)
I'm with the kids, it would have been pretty funny to see you at the table with sunglasses. I'm glad it went away.
As far as Christmas goes I'm backed up against my mobe walls. I would love to have the opportunity to make wondrous gifts but that's not happening. Unless I could whip up some fancy spud wreaths. Maybe I'll have a meeting with myself today, thanks for the project.
I get so frustrated with Sunday migraines. Even though it is harder to get one during the week.
the day i got my first migraine was the day i finally felt like a real adult because my mom has had them for years. aren't they such a pain? you're going along minding your own business with plans of things you're going to get done, then all the sudden the tightness and the sensitivity to light assault you and you know you're going to be out of commission for a good, long time. how rude.
Sorry about the migraine. I only got a couple pregnant but I do have a lot of headaches.
I do not have Christmas on the brain.
My hobbies have turned into not much more than expensive clutter.... I wish they were money producing.
I am back from a little blogger mom trip.
I am so sorry you get migraines! I'm lucky to say I don't. I wish I had some RX I swear... I would send you some.
I always want babies to sleep too. Can't help it-
I ALWAYS have to have MANY christmas talks with myself. I don't know why, but it's hard to get that spirit for me- I am so task oriented/busy- and I like it that way, most of the time. It does go well with getting things done but not so well with feeling the Christmas spirit.
I'm having such a hard time getting in the Christmas mod. Which is bad. I'm going to get back from France with 22 days to get ready. Is that nearly enough time? NO!
I call that, my Sunday headache!
I am actually talking to myself today about setting up Christmas
early -before Thanksgiving.gasp!
Sorry about the migraine. I am so thankful I don't get them! I love Elf, it's such a great movie.
That baby is so cute! I hope it takes a long nap today.
About photos, Leslie J. wants her family's photos taken soon. I will give her your number.
V.nice of you to have Eva for Michelle.
I am trying to be excited about Christmas, then I look at my budget and the excitement goes out the window! We'll see if we can pull it together...
i hope you're feeling better! that's rotten. migraines are awful- i've had ONE and never want another.
how great that you get to take pictures of people's families! and yes- HUGE proponent of sleeping babies. love sleeping babies especially if i get to sleep, too.
i love that you have meetings with yourself. i need to schedule one of those.
I felt migraine-ish yesterday too. Sorry you were feeling out of sorts.
Photographing babies is so enjoyable. They're so cute and they can't run away from you.
I really have to start focusing on Christmas too. I have a few ideas, but I haven't gotten too serious because it just doesn't feel like Christmas.
I love it when you have meetings with yourself.
I rarely get headaches. Thankfully. I already have my own set of health issues.
The baby pic is adorable.
So sorry about your migraine! I had excruciating cramps this morning...it was reminding me of childbirth and not in a good way!! I don't get migraines, thankfully!
Yesterday in church, the hymns were all Christmas ones, and I just thought, this is so wrong, we haven't even had THanksgiving yet. Why aren't we singing Thanksgiving(y) songs?? Weird. But I guess I need to get in the spirit too!
So sorry Jill about all your headaches - it must be so annoying. I like your idea of a meeting about CHristmas. We had one last week for FHE - long story short, we have a huge list of things we want to do and presents to get people from the ceiling down to the wall of my scrapbook room - it's crazy! How are you? Take care!
I love the picture of the baby, Jill! That face is priceless! I wish I would've had you as a friend when Daniel was a baby. I would have hired you for sure!
I'm so sorry that you got a migraine. I just hate them so much. I've never heard of Relpax but I am going to Google it as soon as I'm done commenting. I take Maxalt, and it works...sometimes. I'm sorry that Relpax it is pricey and that you're out of it. I hate having to spend money on things like that.
I have been thinking a little about Christmas, but I'm with you: I just don't feel "Christmasy" yet. Maybe after Thanksgiving I'll feel more motivated!
Sorry that you had a migraine. I only get them once in a while.
I do love for babies to sleep in the afternoon. I'm watching my nephew sleep as I type.
I need to have a Christmas meeting with myself alright. It's tough to get an appointment with me though. I should have my people call...my people.
My sister gets a lot of migraines also and is going in tomorrow for some radio wave test thing that is supposed to get rid of them. She is getting them every week. It was recommended by her dr and covered by insured. She has heard awesome things about it and can't wait to do it.
I am so not feeling like it is Christmas time either. Or Thanksgiving for that matter. This weather is totally throwing me off. The only good thing about it still being so warm is that JAson will put up my Christmas lights this weekend!
oh my-- that is tragic (migrain) joyful (baby pics) and helpful (keeping eva) all at once!
i have had my Mtg with myself (always makes me laugh when you say that! but it is so true) about the holidays. i am trying very hard to be on top of it this year.
wish us all luck, huh?
I've been having meetings with myself about Christmas lately, but I need to get my husband in on them now. Is it crazy that I sometimes resent being the sole planner of the family? But if it were up to him, no planning would happen. I need a plan always.
Migraines are EVIL! Glad that Relpaz worked.
My head is still buried in the sand about Christmas. I'm slow to get in the elf groove.
I need a counsel with myself about Christmas! I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week!
- Fun that you are able to turn your hobby into a little cash. I wish I had that ability!
- Sleeping babies are precious - I am waiting for Anna's to wake up!
- Sunday migraines would be the worst! There should be a trade off -
I totally need to have a meeting with myself about Christmas, and have been trying to do so for the past two weeks, but keep getting interrupted.
I have been plagued with migraines since I was twelve, but they have gotten much better just in the last few years. I get a sort of sick feeling when I hear your descriptions--I can truly feel your pain and know keenly the need for total darkness, whether in the bedroom or at the dinner table. Oh, I wish I had some Relpax to send your way!
