Headaches and cleaning



Picture Of the Day
Sweet Gabriella and me :) I took the photo with my newest Iphone. It was not easy to hold the cat and balance the camera phone. Hence the funny looks on our faces.

Woke up all during the night with a nagging headache. I took the migraine pills. Just wished I had put my new remedies Tim bought me by my bed. Instead I suffered through the night,not sleeping good. I tried to get up early but felt too bad! Instead I slept till 8. I think it was the Tylenol PM I took at 3a.m. I had a 10a.m. appt to take the van in for recalls. So I had to get up! I found my headaches helpers and planned to use when I got back home. Mom met me at the dealership and drove me back home. Then I crawled in bed wearing my eye pillows,magnetic head wrap and even tried out the massage pillow papa Cash gave me. ( Gave Tim one too) All together with more drugs I was comfortable and napped rested till I felt better. That being 12:30. Wan was ready at 2. Still did NOT have the locks fixed so gotta take it back Thursday ):

I was feeling much better by now and started packing up more ornaments and some other decorations.Still much left to do. I think with 1 more day I'll have it all done.

Tim went to visit Sam. I didn't get to today. Tim also went to his conservation Club meeting after visiting Sam. he got home around 8:30.

Ashley cleaned and worked hard on her room most the day. She also helped me some more with packing the decorations. She spent all day yesterday watching "GLEE" episodes from season 3 and packing the ornaments on the Den tree. That is the tree full of Hallmark ornaments and some mom gave Ashley and I. I told Ashley when she grows up and moves out on her own she can have this tree full of ornaments. So every year I buy new Hallmark ornaments that represent something about her that year.

The following are the ornaments we got this year. This specific ornament was a MUST !!When Ashley saw it she love it and I bought it right away. It symbolizes Ashley's all time favorite "Off Broadway" show she we saw in October "Wicked". The story about the witches of OZ. This is the wicked Elphaba.

Glenda is the GOOD witch from Wicked. She was found in Ashley's stocking on Christmas morning ;)

This is "Beaker". He is one of the Muppets. Ashley saw it and wanted to so very bad and I did not get it. But, Ashley was pleasantly surprised when Andrew's mom Sherry gave it to her as part of her Christmas gift to Ashley. You press the button and he sings all kinds of "Me me me Me " Christmas songs :)

Tinker bell was also in Ashley's stocking. She is a little fairy Ashley has always loved. We got one last year on a snowflake.

On the day after Christmas there is one place we always go HALLMARK! We bought Charlie Brown and Snoopy on sale 50% off after Christmas. As we did all the ones below. We got this ornament just because who does not love Charlie Brown? I loved the Peanuts growing up!!

We also bought this one on sale. It is a reminder of this being the year Ashley started learning to play her guitar

This was a must! It represents Ashley's favorite movie sagas. "Twilight".

I meant to get this one before Christmas to give Ashley. I was glad I waited because plenty were still available and 50% off. She is the first angel in a series. This one is the Irish Angel. Ashley had mentioned that she wanted to get this one and start the collection.each year a new one will come out.

"Alvin" represents all so silly movies Ashley likes with "Alvin and the Chipmunks" Plus he is cute.

And this one we got to represent Hannah's mother Gina,who lost her battle with Cancer on Christmas day ): Now every Christmas we will remember. I will also remember Lisa Shimasaki Shnell ( an old HS friend) who passed away from Breast cancer in October.
