migraines suck!

Tonight is a migraine night at my house.  I am not sure if I go this one due to me being stressed out, or if it is from a lack of estrogen.  I am leaning towards number two though.  When I went to get my estrogen injection on Friday, the doctor's office did not have enough in stock, so I only received a partial shot.  I REALLY need to get to their other clinic tomorrow so I can get the rest of my medicine to bring my estrogen levels back up to where they need to be.  It is amazing how our hormones affect the rest of our body!

Prince had a good day today.  He came home jazzed from school, and wanting to do his homework.  He quickly did all his work except his math, finished his chores, and then went to a friend's house to finish his math.  Apparenly the two boys had made a plan to get together to do their math together.  He is really loving the sixth grade.

Princess on the other hand, did not have as great of a day.  She came home excited, but that quickly faded.  In her class, they can earn tickets for reading books.  She was really looking forward to doing this, but became discouraged.  At one point, she threw the book and ticket on the ground and proclaimed, "Who am I kidding?  I can't finish a book!"  This really broke my heart.  She has never really liked reading, but she is now calling herself stupid.  I do not know how to reach her.  I have told her that we can work on it together, that no one expects her to do it on her own.  We have taken her to book stores so she could pick out what ever book she wanted.  We have tried different genres of books.

Brian has reading issues too.  If he is not really focused on what he is reading, the words get all jumbled.  He feels like he has some form of dyslexia.  I am now wondering if maybe Princess has some of this as well?  She has never liked reading, and has a hard time with comprehension, especially if it is a book she read by herself.  Prince and I both love to read, and do it all the time.  Princess just takes after her Dad in this regard, I guess.  I am going to talk with the school tomorrow to see if they have any other ideas on how to help her with this struggle.
