Dizzy & the Dentist

This morning has been a challenge.
I woke up with vertigo.
I get these spells 2-3 times a year and it generally hits me about mid February.
This year it has come early.
Although I suspected it was coming on yesterday,
I didn't expect it to be this bad....yet.
It's disorienting and very annoying to have your whole world spin at the slightest movement of your head.
I started on some meds to help alleviate the dizzy spells, but all I had at home were the kind that make me drowsy.

Drowsy & Dizzy!
A great combo to wake up to!

I probably shouldn't drive when I feel this way,
I am sure the Surgeon General would not recommend I operate heavy machinery or a motor vehicle while in this condition.
But #8 had a dental appointment this morning, and my car, while it does have a motor, isn't that big.


Oh the joys of parenting!


I want to crawl back in bed and sleep until my world stops spinning, but that's not allowed for moms.
Moms just tough it out.

As soon as I am done here I am heading to the pharmacy to get the meds that rid my head of all the spinning,
and as a side effect hype me up!

In spite of my current state, I am still hoping for a productive day ahead!
