Whew...bouncing around!

OKay...I will catch you up on the last 3 days. A lot of this is random stuff
Tuesday - I did absolutely NOTHING. I woke up with a headache which soon turned into a Migraine. I filled out some online applications, until I was blinded then laid down on the couch. It is extremely difficult to watch children with a migraine...but watching them through the blind phase is even harder....lets just say my ears were put to good use. When I get a Migraine, I can always tell the level of what the migraine will be because when it begins I lose all peripheral vision. Basically I get tunnel vision. Now if this goes away with in 30 minutes after taking some medication, the migraine will be dull - last 2-4 hours before turning unto just a headache. I am still sensative to light a sound and especially smells - but it doesn't send me vomiting with each one. If after 30 minutes of taking medication it hasn't gone back to normal but it has stayed the same then I am looking at a 4-6 hour Mild migraine. This one means that nausea is a new symptom as well as the sensitivity to light, sound, and smell...and also touch. I can still somewhat function - depending on what I am doing and my surroundings.
Then there is the severe migraines, which have different levels of their own...but basically I go from to tunnel vision to complete blindness. The blindness usuall last for the first 1-2 hours. Any sound, noise, smell, or touch sends me vomiting, I ache all over, cold sweats....there are all kinds of symptoms and the migraine will last 6-12 hours. Luckily JR was able to come home and assist me...because I was completely blind and vomiting...gross. JR kept asking me if I was sure the reaction was normal...I think he was afraid I might have a brain tumor...I assured him it was just a migraine.
Wednesday - I was still recovering from the effects of my migraine, so I took it easy. I filled out some more applications and I watched stuff from the DVR...really I have about 2 weeks worth of shows that needed to be cleared, so I watched all my Oprahs and Dr. Phil's! Hahaha JR used my credit card on Monday night and didn't return it, so I spent quite some time looking for it...but never found it. I am irritated with that, so I had to move some money around to different accounts in order to use my other card. Grrrr! I started thinking about how far I would go to get a job...I teased JR that I would go work at a strip club...LOL His face was priceless! It was a joke - I am not that desperate. Then, at nearly 4:00 - I got a phone call that couldn't have come at a better time. It was PLuckers..which is kind of like a Buffalo Wild Wings. It was one of the first jobs that I applied for. I told JR that if I was going to wait tables, I didn't want to carry a bunch of heavy stuff...I really wanted something like buffalo wild wings so that it was more laid back and the heaviest thing to carry would be the drinks! So I am very excited that they called me. I have an interview today at 3:30 and I am praying it goes well! I am only planning to work 3 nights a week....hopefully on football nights where the tips will be better!
Landry is now climbing and standing all the time. I had a dream last night that she finally started walking but it was just a dream. She still shows no interest in walking. She did take two steps the other day...but has shown no other interest in it. plus she was so close to the couch that if she started to fall she could have very easily grabbed on. SHE IS CRAZY. She literally climbs the couch all the time...it drives me CRAZY! We leave the carseat in the living room, and she climbs into the carseat and sits there and plays. Anything she can climb in some way she WILL!
So here is the other thing. About 3 weeks ago, the house being built next door to us was finished. 2 weeks ago, the neighbors moved in. On the second night we were here...we quickly realized that they had a dog...it barked ALL NIGHT long. Oddly, I was pretty understanding, JR was ticked but I told him that the dog was obviously new to his surroundings and needed time to adjust. The next night the dog barked all night long. The next few nights, I heard the dog less...he would go in spurts, 5-10 minutes of non-stop barking followed by an hour of quiet. It makes sleep a little hard but, at this point I am not used to sleeping through the night anyway! LOL For the last two nights, we have left the windows open..and for some reason THAT DAMN DOG barked ALL NIGHT LONG. He finally stopped barking this morning at 6:30 and I haven't heard him since...the damn dog is sleeping all day! So I looked out the window to finally get a look at this stupid dog this morning....There are 3 dogs...they are all pitbulls! LOVELY! I was watching this morning though, and it was only one (the white one) that was doing the barking...and to make things worse, I swear to you that he was standing on the edge of the porch STARING up at our window and barking! I tried to deal with it...but another night of this will place me on their doorstep, ringing the doorbell at all hours of the night...maybe if the have to listen to the doorbell all night, they will know what its like to listen to that damn dog!
