It's Thursday ...

The first part of this post is maybe a little more graphic than I normally post. But I know those that read my blog are my friends and you may be able to offer some advice for what's happening ... so here goes.

I woke up this morning with what I call my "period headache" ... seems like every Thursday of my period I wake up with this awful, sick headache. It's almost like a migraine (I've had those only a few times). I'm still able to function, I can handle light, but I'm sick to my stomach and just want to throw up and nothing helps. I've been on a new birth control (BC) since May and I think that's when my problem started. Normally when taking BC I start the Sunday I'm supposed to. On this new BC I don't start until Wednesday ... and I HATE it. Basically I'm off the pill for four days before I start. Mike says I'm not the same person since starting this new BC. I've searched Google and they have no information about it being a "delayed" type BC. It's called Velivet. Anyone else take this and perhaps have similar problems? I guess the only real thing to do is call my doctor. Okay ... so now you know something VERY personal about me. Hope I didn't embarrass or gross you out.

Now on to some fun stuff ...

Yesterday morning we hosted Carol's birthday celebration at our house! We had alot of good conversation, carrott cake, coffee and shared presents with her. It really was nice having them over.


This is Melinda and Carol (The birthday girl)


Griffin did something new yesterday. Not a good kind of new ... but really a bad kind of new. He climbed up on the kitchen chairs for the first time as in photo. But then ... he climbed on top of the kitchen table. This scared me to death. I know he was going for the leaves in the flower arrangement ... I will definately have to keep this off the center of the table.


Later in the day we went for a walk with Cyndi and her twin boys. We walked a different way then Mike, G and I normally walk so I decided to take my camera. The leaves are beginning to change ... aren't they pretty?


I don't know why ... but I just love this picture ...


And Momma Cow and her baby ... they were so close to the side of the road, the boys went nuts mooing at them.

I'm hoping this headache goes away soon ... I have alot of work I would like to get accomplished today. Hope you all have a great day. M

  1. Go see your doctor and them him/her that you want your BC pills changed! And insist that they give you another type to try. Light years ago when I had female parts the doctor changed me to something that wasn't was stong and I had terrible breakthrough bleeding. When I complained he acted like that was one of the effects of that particular pill. I advised him that he would change my pills or I would change my doctor! It's your body...your in charge and you probably need more estrogen to help with mood swings and headaches.

    I know...I know...I didn't go to medical school! But you shouldn't be miserable because of BC pills!

    You're pictures from your walk are wonderful...it looks so peaceful there.
