I was wrestling with Little Man this afternoon (mother of the year!) and he pretended to eat me. He proceeded to cover me with several blankets until I was in complete darkness. Then he stepped back from his work, sighed with his hands on his hips and declared:
“There! Now you’re in my belly, mommy. Is it dark in there? I bet it’s dark in there. Don’t be scared. It’s just my belly. My belly will keep the parts of you that taste good and rest of you will go through my intestines and bowels and stuff then you’ll be my poo.”
To which I calmly replied whined, while scrunching up my nose, of course: “Doooooood! I don’t want to be poo. I’ll stink! Ew! Poo stinks!”
He rolled his eyes. “Mommy, you already stink anyway.” Sigh.
To think I do this without getting paid. It’s ludicrous.
Headache Update: Still getting them every day, even with the tranquilizers. Fun. I am personally keeping both Tylenol and Advil in business, given my daily pain-killer cocktails. I’m considering a head-ectomy. Or is it a head-otomy?
It’s lovely to know you stink anyway. Kids are so good for your self esteem. While sitting in the back seat of the car with my boys when they were LM’s age, they told me about my nose hair, bad breath, and lard ass. It was really sweet.
So sorry about the headaches! Don’t get a headectomy! It has a really really long recovery time.

I have chronic daily headache, and you might want to take note of the fact that taking painkillers daily (like tylenol and advil) will only prolong the misery. There is a reaction called “rebound headaches” that you get from overusing medications, and they feel even worse.
Hope things get better.

Robin: But! Doesn’t a long recovery time mean that I get a LONG break in the hospital??!
Laura: You’re OBVIOUSLY right. As usual.

And you do get paid, paid in love *vomits*.

have to agree with Cale, the rebound headaches can be worse than the originals (ask me how I know). I only allow myself to take excedrin migraine (the ONLY thing that works for me, and even that not always) 3x a month, or it just makes things worse.
I ended up on Topomax a couple of years ago to try and break the cycle (daily headaches and killer monthly migraines) – finally gave it up after about a year because I couldn’t stand the stupidity it enshrouded me with, but the cycle had been broken. Now I only get 4-5 days a month of headaches, and the daily stuff is pretty much gone (although there are some weeks that it seems like it’s coming back, it hasn’t yet.)

Does poo get headaches? Cause maybe being poo wouldn’t be so bad.

Yep…rebound headaches suck. Dh went through a period about 5 years ago where he had a non-stop migraine like headache for 6 weeks. Migraine meds didn’t help it, the anti-seizure meds that help prevent migraines as well didn’t work…ended up he had too much spinal fluid. It’s benign intercranial hypertension (or pseudo-tumor cerebri). Hope they stop soon though!
and poo?!

Is it wrong that I think that game sounded really fun? That I want to be the poo next time?
I really think I could do good poo.

I am certain that the toilets in Canada are far superior to the low-flow action we have in the States; that being said, we employ a bamboo skewer to, ahem, encourage the matter to propel down the low-flow-hole.
Just thought you should know.

Aw, too funny! I can’t wait to hear the funny things my (not-yet-conceived) kids will say : )
Tangent: We had friends over this weekend and one was in labor while she was here. I know I won’t be that calm…
