When Katie woke up, I realized my head was still in a lot of pain, but I had to get up with her anyway. We went downstairs and I quickly took an imitrex and grabbed an ice pack out of the freezer. Katie, Justin and Josh watched a movie for a little while and I managed to eat some breakfast while holding the ice pack to my forehead and visiting with Peggy. Within an hour or so, I began to feel better.
The combination of pills I took made me feel pretty out of it, so I ended up sleeping most of the afternoon. I was bummed about that because the sun was shining and it would have been the perfect day to be outside with the kids.
Fortunately, when I woke up, I felt pretty good. We then went out to dinner with our twin Aunts, Sharon and Karen (our Dad's sisters) who live in the area.
After returning home, we enjoyed some homemade vanilla ice cream Peggy had made earlier in the day. We topped it with strawberries, whipped cream and blue sprinkles. That was quite a treat!
The kids were exhausted and went to bed at a pretty decent time, allowing me to watch LOST, which was an awesome episode, by the way, and I can't wait to rewatch it as soon as I get an opportunity.
And now, everyone else is in bed, but because I slept all afternoon, I'm not quite tired yet. Even so, I should go lie in bed. Maybe I'll surprise myself and actually fall asleep.

That's a beautiful picture. Sorry about the headache. Court just went to her migraine specialist for a follow up appt today. She's feeling really good about their plan of attack. She learned that she is now immune to Imitrex. They wear off after 12 hours for her. She's trying some preventive drugs and a new triptan. You'd probably like to talk to her about it and get her feedback.
