Eye’ve got #firstworldprobz

I keep telling myself to take care of me, but as you know, as mamas, as women, we usually put ourselves last on our priority totem pole don’t we? I’ve had these headaches, well I should say this ONE headache- for over 2 weeks now! I’ve blamed it on dehydration, not enough caffeine, too much caffeine, not enough sleep, hormones, all these reasons but no fixes I’ve tried have fixed it. Two nights ago my husband suggested maybe it’s my eyes.... 12 years ago I had LASIK eye surgery and got my sight “fixed”, no more contacts or glasses for me! They told me I would need readers when the time came... but at 34almost35, that’s too young for readers, right?

Well the headache is awful and right behind my eyes. I made the mistake of googling it and first thing that came up-TUMOR. I immediately closed the browser. The alternative my husband suggested is way less daunting than that. So today I put on my big girl pants and bought a pair of readers. The last time I had a life crisis like this was when I turned 25- almost ten years ago! I am so very sad about this, I feel so very OLD. Just when I thought my body was springing back to my old, younger, self, this happens!? So I’m wearing these today, before sucking it up and going to see an actual eye doctor... but sadly, it’s already making a difference, the page/phone looks cleaner, I’m not straining to see. I didn’t even know I was struggling in the first place!

In retrospect I’ve had a hard time, with my phone especially, for about a year now. Of course, I blamed it on the phone’s brightness, or on pregnancy, but here I am... 34almost35 and golly piffle I have old lady glasses on my face as I type this. It makes me want to scream, it makes me want to cry ... but then I tell myself to suck it up and be tough. Oh and the kids got flu shots today. #firstworldprobz 

As I just reread this I really am telling myself to suck it up. Life is good! Life is great! If this is the solution to these headaches, then who cares if I have to wear them every once in a while- another excuse for cute accessories. So many people with so many real problems and here I am complaining about something that can so easily be fixed. So I’m sorry if I wasted your time reading this. But it’s a lesson learned for me, I sometimes get so caught up in the little things, the drama of it all, that I have to take a step back to SEE -pun intended- that I am one of the lucky ones. So, I’m going to go bake some muffins (from a box don’t get excited) and focus on making those flu-shot babies feel better because guess what everyone? 

My head doesn’t hurt today!!!
