Woke up with a migraine and have 3 doctors, a school and an attorney to deal with today. And a board meeting. And a loud 3rd grade "fair day" fun time. Bless migraine meds!

Today I am thankful for my migraine medicine and an understanding board who will pretend not to notice when I fall asleep from the meds or turn the meeting into a 5 minute roll call/check in rather than the normal hour plus meeting.

Forty Is Not the New Thirty. Thankfully! - The Parenting.com Blogs - http://forums.parenting.com/blogs...

My phone thought it would be "helpful" and send me a reminder that I will be turning FORTY in 5 days. I did what any smart woman would do and deleted that application! (Who says maturity comes with age??)

As soon as everything falls into place w/ my recovery, life slaps me down & makes it so damn hard! Clinging tightly!

I have had a terrible, horrible, no good very bad week. But? Bubble wrap can make it feel just a little bit better. All that poppy goodness on one sheet. You know it's true. Still? World you are on notice: One more thing and I SNAP people. I will go all bubble wrap on your hineys! I'm just sayin'!

I went to DC to take “The Hill” and DC took my breath away- Meeting the Five Moms and Dr. Drew - http://www.mommyneedscoffee.com/2009...

@meglizsmith78 You absolutely can get more sleep. I didn't get a morning do over so I call National Nap Time!

I call a do over on morning. I would like a few more hours of sleep and more time to get ready, please. Thankyouverymuch.

@GoonSquadSarah I totally was. But didn't have a spare moment the whole time until my 3 hr airport wait. Missed seeing so many of my peeps!

Still trying to process the amazing time I had in DC with the Five Moms and Dr. Drew Pinsky. I learned so much about stopmedicineabuse.org and was in awe listening to and talking with senators about the issue of OTC abuse. An incredible experience for sure!

@levydr Prove it. I didn't see it. Okay, I saw something white through some trees from a cab that someone said was the White House. Sure!

@Morningsidemom Sore feet, a cold & whiny? Me too. It must be the sweater. It was cursed! Hope you feel better soon. Let's talk soon!

@levydr Still wondering about that "pretend White House" you kept mentioning. I'm willing to come back so you can prove it exists.

Monday night I was having dinner w/ @drdrew #5moms, friends @ CHPA & Edelman. Tonight is fast food while soaking my still numb feet. Unreal!

@drdrew Thanks for you amazing support in DC with #stopmedicineabuse and #5moms & personally taking time to spend time w/ us mom bloggers.

@meglizsmith78 Thanks for such an amazing, inspiring time in DC. What a huge impact it had on me. And? My feet are still numb. lol

@OTCsafety I miss my new DC friends already! What an amazing time! Thank you so much for everything! When do I get to come back?

Still processing amazing personal words of encouragement from @drdrew in DC. I cried when he applauded my 9 years of recovery.

It's not stalking when they sign it & let you keep it! http://yfrog.com/0gi1dj

I am sorry Clint, I was told to leave you for the amazing @levydr. Sorry babe! They said I had to give him more love!

Is crying over soup rude? Dr Drew applauded my recovery. Total tears! #moms #stopmedicineabuse OMG! I needed this!

Personal note: Thank you to my husband Clint for pushing me to be here. Life changing for me! #moms #stopmedicineabuse

Dr Drew Freakin Pinsky walked im. I cried. Such an addict! #5moms

@Morningsidemom Finally made it to DC hotel. Can't wait to see you & @5minutesformom Janice. It will renew my energy!

@ParentopiaDevra What is the weather like there? (Tx girl remember) Will call you when there.

@ParentopiaDevra Meeting the #5moms and raising awareness to #stopmedicineabuse. Looking forward to it. Hoping I can pull myself from Gab.

If my daughter's fever stays gone & all stays well with her, I should be off to DC tomorrow morning. My gut is in knots leaving her.

I just wonder if my mom radar is off from being so worried for so long & so tired. Cannot let go of the fear & worry. The what if...?

So when is it a mother's gut instinct something is still wrong w/ your kid & when is it fatigue after dealing w/ very sick kid for 10 days?
