Reprieve for my head?

So far today, and it's already 4pm, I haven't had a migraine or any icepick trouble. It's funny, the icepick spot itches sometimes. It feels weird. I am, however, having a good 'head day' today. *knock on wood*

I bet it was just a weird, wacky thing that will go away on its own. I mean, my head is just trouble - has been for a long time. The kids are tired of 'mom always having a headache'! And I can totally understand their frustrations, as my dad has always had headaches.

A part of me wants to feel sorry for myself, and haughtily holler at them, "Well! You just don't love me! You don't even care that I'm in pain, all you can think of is yourself!" I can remember all too well, though, how frustrating it was for me, as a child, to come home and Daddy is in bed yet again. I need to get him a new icepack. I need to be quiet. I can't turn on my radio. I can't have any friends over. I know all that, I remember that. So I can totally understand from where they are coming.

And I can also gently explain to them that I am not in the least enjoying all this pain in my head. I tell them that I totally understand their frustrations, because, I lived that side of it - but, that they also need to recognize my side of it now. And how if it sucks for them, it must really suck for the one actually having the headache.

It is kind of a funny place to be in, really. A perfect view of things from both sides. That's how things are for me a lot of times. That is one reason I have so much trouble voting. And taking sides on an issue - like the issue of horse slaughter in America, and its having been recently completely shut down. I read, researched, and listened to both sides - and I just have to throw my hands up in indecision and give it all to God - with a great big....

I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS!

Haha - did we really just go from icepick headaches to horse slaughter? Ok, then.
