Finally!

(our monster menu for the party-made out of crappy wood and vinyl stickers. Very Spoooky!)

*warning, lots of pics*

(Jen, if you are reading this, don't go to the very end of the post, if will spoil some of the surprise)

I know that I have been absent.

My husband grounded me from the computer.

He was conviced that blogging was causing my headache/

Not so, still have a headache.

The only thing that this did, make me miss my blogging friends and not help with headache.

Good idea huh?

Headache count is up to 31 days.

If anyone out there has any great ideas, PLEASE share.

I am way past desperate. I will try anything!

I have tried Imitrex, narcotics, all the regular stuff.

I have had an MRI and all x-rays-all normal!

I am trying to get into an Neurologist. No such luck yet. The soonest appt. was February! My Dr. is working on getting me into another one.

Honestly, I am really hoping that it will go away as quick as it came.

So, if any of you have any help to offer, any ideas, anything.

*edited to add****

A friend suggested going to the eye dr. The pain is located in the Occipital lobe-which happens to control vision. I never even thought of this. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. Experience, your husabnd is an eye Dr, or brother in law or neighbor. And if you do happen to have a relative in the vision field, I know that you want to contact them and ask for a total stranger!!! Thanks!

I would be grateful. More than you know!!

Since I have been away for so long, I have lots of pics to show.

Bear with me, my blog is for "documenting our history" purposes.

Also, my MIL really likes to see pics of my kids.

Go figure. She doesn't want to see pics of all the things I dream up and how cute I think my house is?

Imagine that.

My parents had the girls and Coop (my nephew) over a couple weeks ago for a pumpkin sleepover. They went and picked out pumpkins and our local pumpkin store. Made witch Puddles. (they were white chocolate puddes, pretzel sticks and bugles covered in chocolate. They were super cute and all eaten before the camera was even out.

This pic is for you Chels, I know that you have not see in yet. I thougt that it was super cute! I have 3 more on the camera. Let me know if you want me to email them to you.

8 & 6, cute little rugrats aren't they?My girls love to go hiking with Grandma and Grandpa. They hiked up above my parents house.They just recently covered the water tower up there with dirt. So, when you stand on top of the water tower, it literally looks like you are on top of the world.

My little hams. Bet you can't tell that they love to have their pics taken.

We had our annual halloween party at my parents last night. As usual, she went way above and beyond and we all had a great time! This year was extra fun, we had a magician. My kids were mesmorized. He was excellent.

4 was a witch, 8 a clown and 6 was a china girl. I didn't have any Halloween makeup, so I painted their faces with acrylic paint. This was actually a fantastic idea! Guess I am smarter than I think :) You know how halloween makeup gets everywhere if you touch it? Well 6'c costume was a genuine silk kimono from China. I really had no desire to dry clean it, so I threatened her. If she got it dirty, all of her halloween candy was mine!

Well, turns out, the paint dryed and didn't go anywhere.(except during the apple bobbing) So, if any of you hate halloween makeup as much as me, use your acrylic paint watered down, and a sponge brush. It is super fast, dries quickly, doesn't get everywhere and comes off with a soap and water. No one screamed when makeup came off! Don't worry. it's safe to use on skin.

This is 4 bobbing for apples.

This is my little witch. If only she was this pleasant all the time!( I think that sometimes she has horns and a pointed tail.)
This was all of us. Unfornuately, this whole headache crap has done nothing for weight loss. I guess laying around for a month will do that. Another lovely side effect.

Finally, I am doing a swap with a fellow blogger. I made myself create on saturday. I didn't want to look like a slacker. This is what I same up with. Each took about 5 mins. Have I told anyone lately how much I love my Cricut? (Deb, if you are reading this, will you remind me of the site that I go to for all the fonts?)

This is the "feather bird" sign. I got the little sign from the dollar store. Then I just crafted it up.

Thanks for being so patient with all my pics. Also, for any advice on the whole headache. You guys are great!!!
