Mommy feels sick-y

Last week I had a headache. No big deal....I get them a lot. It didn't go away. For days on end I had this nagging, dopey, head is heavy feeling and no matter how much Sudafed I sucked down it wouldn't quit. So what did I do? I ignored it. And ignored it. And ignored it. In my defense I had a suck-f$%k week last week. I had a friend pass away very suddenly and tragically (that's a post for another day) and another friend's sister-in-law died of melanoma at 32. Two wakes and one funeral...oh and my daughter turned 12 and had 8 giggling, silly, texting, twirling, shrieking girls sleepover. So my drulling, miserable headache wasn't going to take precedence in my already loony life.

Week two. I am now sick to my stomach, unable to move my head up, down, left or right. I slouch around the house with a hot pad on my forehead and a cup of water in my hand. Off I drag myself to the doc....begging for mercy ..... and drugs. Luckily I waited the correct length of time to get the drugs....they are notorious for NOT giving out antibiotics unless you are close to death...which after they took one look at me....decided I was. I'm pretty sure I look like Skeletor.

The funny thing is...if my kid had a headache for 2 weeks I would be in Children's Hospital with the best neurologist in the world administering the CT scan HIMSELF. But noooooooooooooo, not me. I have to suck it up....tough it out....and continue on. Because a mother never, ever, ever stops. Not even for herself. Pffftttt. That's life. As Flossy says "Life is hard...wear a helmet." Or get some penicillin.

There's a reason our country is in the toilet...and that reason is The Keurig Coffee Maker.



Think about this... This single serve, I-got-mine-go-screw-yourself coffee maker serves as an anolgy for all that is wrong with this country.



Worried about your retirement fund? Stop buying expensive k-cups and buy your coffee by the POUND like your grandfather did! Better yet, buy a whole sackload of whole beans on a donkey like Juan Valdez...



Worried about the environment? Stop throwing away bags of NON-RECYLEABLE k-cups and buy coffee in aluminum cans or plastic containers. Both can be recycled!



Your boyfriend won't commit to marriage? NO WONDER! Why should he tie himself to you when he can't even commit to an entire pot of coffee? Sorry babe, I'm just a cup-at-a-time kind of guy.

These Keurig machines should be rounded up and destroyed.

Bring them by my house, would you? I'm out of coffee...
