When a five year old cautions you against eating too many Twizzlers, in order to avoid a tummy ache, you should probably listen. Kids tend to be in tune with how such things work. Andrew was right on the money with this one.
After discovering that Alex's iPad may be toast, I almost instantly felt a stress headache coming on, which I eventually decided to treat with a round of stress eating. Watching me cram Twizzlers down my trap probably prompted the stomach ache warning.
I should have listened to him. Now, I still have a headache, and I feel gross for inhaling a handful of licorice. When will I learn?
I think it's time for bed.

Sad Freezer
Days like today are exactly why there should ALWAYS be ice cream in this house.
Nothing particularly terrible happened around here, but the kids were especially trying and I have a lot to accomplish in the next week. Thus, the reason I wanted to sit back tonight, try to relax, and enjoy an ice cream treat.
But, we are out of any "good" ice cream (sorry, the kids' frozen fruit juice bars just aren't going to do in this situation). The freezer is sad, devoid of any mommy-appropriate indulgences. Really, is it too much to ask for a satisfactory supply of Magnum Double Caramel ice cream bars after a day like this?
Even more frustrating than a lack of guilty frozen pleasures? The fact that I do most of our grocery shopping and failed to recognize the urgency of a low supply. Ugh.
Eh, well, I'll scrounge around and find something to fulfill this craving, and then off to bed. Tomorrow is a new day, with fresh starts...and plenty of time to stop at the grocery store to refill the freezer.

Headache
Boo to headaches.
High stress levels and bright flashes of light (like reflections of the sun on a passing car) can be an ominous combination, at least for me, in that it can trigger an ocular migraine. I was not in the mood to deal with this, which is probably why one struck. Trust me, these are the least fun things ever. Eventually, a dull, throbbing headache settles in and sometimes hangs out for a few days. This particular episode seems rather mild, but I've spent some time sending emails tonight, and I am more than ready to call it a night.
Sleep well, friends.
PS - how is it only Tuesday?!?
