Thanksgiving and the day after...

Our Thanksgiving started with a game of football. Mike and a bunch of guys from church got together to play, so I thought I would take Hayden over to watch for a while because he loves to be outside, and I thought Mike might think it was nice of me to show up. I bundled Hayden up, which is no quick thing these days, and we drove over to the middle school where they were playing. It was so cold, and Hayden and I were the only ones there- who weren't playing football- so we went home after just a short time. Oh well. We then went to my parents for a yummy Thanksgiving dinner. My mom never has a shortage of food when people are over, so I was full before I ate, but it was sooooo good. My mom just got back from a trip to Texas, and after we were all done stuffing our faces she told us about this lady, who she was on the trip with, who puked in Olive Garden all over the table because she ate too much food! Sick. This is my Grandma and Hayden. Grandma made a yummy pumpkin pie that she had cut a lot of the fat and calories from - so we didn't have to feel to guilty eating it. Mike and I decided to go to a movie that night. We saw Dan in Real Life. It has Steve Carrell, and I love Steve. I love Steve in the dancing scene. Go see it, I would recommend it. Hayden stayed home with grandma and grandpa and fell asleep at 6:30. He is not used to going to bed that early so he woke up at 3:30 in the morning. Why me? But, I guess he picked an ok day to do it because we spent the night at my parents because my mom and I were adding our names to the crazy list because we went shopping in the wee hours of the morning. I hesitated putting this picture of us up, but here we are, not looking very beautiful, to go shopping! Uh, ya, not good picture. It was fun shopping though. So after eating too much, and shopping too early in the morning, we headed over to some friends to watch the BSU vs. Hawaii game. Our football watching was cut short because Mike got a migraine. I have never had a migraine, but I do not wish it on my worst enemy. It is awful watching him have one. This is not new to him. He has to take daily medicine to prevent him from getting them. In the middle of Mike's excruciating pain, I had to run to the pharmacy to re-fill a medicine he takes at the on-set of a migraine, because he was frantically taking them and ran out. It was Hayden's bedtime, and he had no idea what was going on, so he was being a stinker in the store. The pharmacist gave him a sucker to make him happy. He has never had a sucker before, and it will be a long time before he has another one again. He just doesn't quite get the concept of holding on to the stick and keeping the candy in his mouth. What a mess. Mike's migraine was so bad that we ended up in the Emergency Room. They gave him some good stuff- pain killer, sleepy medicine, etc. He was pretty loopy after the IV started kicking in (very funny to see Mike loopy). The nurse came in one time and asked him an on the scale of 1-10 question, and he couldn't get out the words. I couldn't help but laugh. Poor Mike. Then BSU had to lose. I got him home, he passed out all night and he doesn't remember a thing. He is feeling better. So, it was a very long Friday...but a memorable one.
