Monument Valley Trip for 45th Birthday!

I couldn't think of anything I wanted for my Birthday except for new experiences. Daron took me, Addyson and our friend Emily (her mom was out of town and it worked out well she served as a "nanny").  Addy now wants Emily to stay with us and be her big sister!  We stayed at the View hotel on Monument Valley.  The Navajo Nation owns and runs it.  As a birthday present to me is snowed the night we were there and we woke up to white on the red rocks which is my FAVORITE!!!!

Fall stuff

Beet, carrot, and apple juice.  Crazy as it is Daron drank more of it then me!  I am not sure why but I had a huge neurological migraine episode that started on Halloween and ended this week.  I had to leave work the pain and dizziness was so bad and I had to pull over and throw up on the way home.  I was so frustrated that I cried uncontrollably at work, at home and in the car on various days and times.  Daron called my Dr on Sunday morning before he left for church. I had spent the night taking a narcotic nasal spray (that I didn't want to take but I needed some pain relief). So I spend the night spraying, puking then sleeping for 4 hours repeat. Repeat repeat.   Daron did NOT want to call but I am thankful he bucked up.  The Dr. Called the ER to put in an order for a migraine IV cocktail and I was lucky to get a great nurse that could put in an IV.  I rested comfortably for 4 hour then my headache came back. A friend happened by and she told me stories for 2 hours while I iced my head and neck in a dark room.  The headache subsided and I sucked on ice chips.  

I know Eggs and Driving are BIG triggers and I had about 5 great months. I am hoping this was hormones and that my 4 year bout with this means that was my menopause grande finale.  In like a lamb and out like a pissed off lion!  I am cutting out wheat in addition to eggs.  Just a hunch.  Between the neurologist, hormone dr, and energy healer I thought I had a good handle on it. 

Art Class

After the summer art class I decided to have an Art Discover class during the school year.  It has been really successful and fun.  We talk about famous artists and their styles as well as doing some more crafty art.  Kids can't help it they love paint, glitter, stickers and beads!
