Besides the nasty rope burn I got from Inga today (during our walk), today was a good day. I was hosting a meetup with my Mommy's group today at SeaWorld, and God blessed us with an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day! I couldn't have asked for anything better. The kids all had a good time and the parents all enjoyed one another's company.
At one point today, I had a moment of pride questioning. I occasionally suffer from migraines, but not as often since I've stopped the birth control while Tom's gone. I got one today that was leaving me almost completely useless and really didn't know what I was supposed to do. I had that moment of helplessness. One of the first since Tom's been gone. I don't like to ask for help, but I knew I was no good to Ellie in the condition I was in. She was being such a wonderful little girl though. I'm grateful that she understood that I wasn't myself. She just sat there with me and tried to help me "feel better." My little nurse. I let my pride go and called my local savior, Lydia. She came without question to pick Ellie up and let me sleep some of the headache off. I wasn't able to sleep, but just being able to close my eyes and not think helped immensely! And then, when I went to pick Ellie up, Lydia had (more or less) prepared dinner for me so I wouldn't have to cook or go through a drive through! I love that girl! I know I've mentioned her before in other entries, but I really am grateful to have someone like her. I don't know where I'd be without her.
Luckily, the headache went away and I'm sitting her in a peaceful, although messy, house. My munchkin is sleeping soundly, and I've got my iPod keeping me entertained. Its a good ending to an overall good day.

Good night.
