Toilet tag and I say goodbye to diet coke...



Hello my friends! I'm positive I've aged at least 10 years during this past month. I am likely to be volunteered soon to be on the TLC's show 10 years younger -prime time no doubt. I am slowly recovering and hope not to dwell on my daily migraines and nausea too much longer! I go in Monday to the doctor again if they don't subside. We also leave for vacation soon after, so any test will have to wait, and maybe I'll just realize it's the stress of the winter?! A girl can wish!

I am keeping busy doing some shopping for our trip. The girls and I are pretty stocked for spring attire. I've worked on some new crafts for my etsy shop. I'll post them soon. The photo above is of the girls watching the show Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman? My girls are totally addicted to this, and I love sitting with them too and watching it.

Cici yesterday said to me, "Mom, let's play toilet tag!", My reply was simply "huh?" Apparently it's a form of tag this old gal has never yet heard of. When a person is "tagged" they have to sit with one knee up andthe "it" person sits down on your knee and fakes flushing the toilet. I wish I could have gotten a picture of Cici explaining it to me! So hilarious. Have you played or heard of "toilet tag" before?

A major event occured in our house today, a sort of drastic realization that I might just soon regret... but am willing to give it a try. People do drastic things when they have a 10 day migraine! I threw out the remaining four diet coke cans and a purchased soda fountain diet and decided to forgo caffiene and aspartime until I can get my head to pounding less. I am boycotting diet coke and refuse to touch it. Who's with me??!! Just kidding, I wouldn't have stopped drinking it, if I don't think it was aiding in all of this. Tomorrow, mid-day, I might regret my decision, but I've got to try it. Take care and thank you so much for your well wishes and Nicole thanks for the very uplifting and sweet card!

A 10 day migraine?! Michelle, that is no good at all. I am sorry you've had to suffer that long. I hope you get some answers, and that you feel good for your trip. I'm excited to get to meet you. Hang in there, friend!

I'm proud of you for giving up the Diet Coke!
Never heard of Toilet Tag before. I don't think we'll try it anytime soon, but I bet it's hilarious to be a spectator for!

Our kids love Fetch! too. It's their favorite after school show.

I think toilet tag might be the recess craze of the future! Sounds like something all the kids would want to do.

Way to go on the Diet Coke thing! I've heard so many bad things about aspartame & other ingred. in soda. If it can take the corosion off your battery cables it can't be good for your bod.
The toilet tag sounds funny. Your not in the dark by yourself on that one. Wonder if the boys have heard of it??

So glad to hear from you...you hadn't posted and I was worried...and then you mentioned toilet tag and I thought that's what YOU had been up to lately, along with the migranes and nausea!
Thank goodness I was wrong!

I hope you feel better soon and here's to a great vacation!

Michelle, I hope that your pain subsides soon. I feel so bad that you have felt this bad for over 10 days! If going off of Diet Coke helps, let me know. :) Where are you going on vacation? I hope some place super fun! You deserve it my friend. :)

I gave up diet Coke because of bad headaches too and even though I miss drinking it, I certainly don't miss the headaches. Good luck with this!

Wendi said...

Oh man, that's a lot of headache! I'm so sorry! Hope you're feeling well soon!

I am hooked on Coke Zero, would be hard for me to give up. I am laughing out loud about toilet tag, we haven't ever played that. Too funny!

I gave up all soda because I realized that it was making me have stomach problems. I'm a new woman. Every ingredient in Coke, diet coke has nothing that is good for your body. They say that coke is good for one thing- that is to clean your toilet. Good luck kicking the habit. Your twins are so cute
