Daddy the Chef

My headaches are taking over our lives these days. I had to take a pain/migraine pill and go down for the afternoon today. I was still knocked out at 6 when I should have been cooking dinner. Daddy Piper jumped in and took great care of the kids all afternoon and evening. He isn't much of a cook but did a great job tonight making breakfast for dinner. He made egg and bacon sandwiches. The kids thought this was so fun - having breakfast for dinner. They even got to put their own cheese on their sandwiches!

I am feeling so thankful for Daddy Piper these days. My headaches are really affecting our quality of life. I am taking medicine to try to control them but it isn't helping all that much. I am spending most afternoons curled up in bed, sleeping off the medicine and trying to get rid of the headaches. Daddy Piper has stepped up and really been both mother and father to the kids right now while I am trying to recover and get over these cluster migraine things.

The kids were insistent that I put their lotion on tonight. I can tell they are missing their time with me when they ask for me to do their lotion. I combed and braided L's hair, to help control the tangles. We put in about 20 braids for fun. She squealed with delight, thinking how fun her mama is :-) We did cut about 4 inches off last week, which has helped with the tangles. It sure looks cute right at her shoulders and makes it easier to take care of!!

Now J is crying - AGH! He is going to want to nurse and I can't because of this med. Daddy Piper is out working on the lawnmower...... always something!
