    • Headache Prone?
      4

      Some tidbits I've just read this week:I know at least Mom has been clued into the first, but if the others haven't (and there's a little something extra even for Mom)...Washing down a painkiller (any kind of painkiller) with a cup of coffee instantly boosts the pill's effectiveness by 40 percent. Yea coffee! I assume any highly caffeinated drink will do if you don't like coffee - kind of sucks if you get hit with one right around bed time.

      Anyone else up for a little time off? I woke up this morning and heard our answering machine beeping. I was a bit surprised as I didn't hear the phone ring last night and I'm normally a very light sleeper. Exhaustion helps, I guess. Anyways, as I'm walking down the stairs I'm thinking,"Please let it be Tracy calling to say she can't take Kadie today." How pathetic is that?! Unfortunately, it wasn't Tracy and I was forced to get ready for work. So here I am - with no coffee as I've sworn off...
