I'm always chagrined at the amount of damage to my body some casual action with trigger. <br /><br />If you have any clever tricks to avoid migraines but still run around and be a "SuperMom" please share them, I am always excited to have a guest blogger!<br /><br />Cheers, <br />ALJ <br />MyagiaMommieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055654895437902426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921614773774596185.post-77981452778850297432014-01-14T12:18:41.264-08:002014-01-14T12:18:41.264-08:00It isn't really a choice for me to be a stay a...It isn't really a choice for me to be a stay at home mom. My advice is to just keep on being an awesome mom. The little one is probably going to have more fun building blocks with Mommy than dealing with a bunch of cranky toddlers at a play group, anyway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921614773774596185.post-805547843761909792014-01-14T12:12:20.632-08:002014-01-14T12:12:20.632-08:00For most parents, the decision to be a stay at hom...For most parents, the decision to be a stay at home parent or a working parent are hardly choices. It's more like being stuck between a rock and a hard place! When the itty bitty shitty committee starts going off in your head, ask yourself if going back to work full time right now would be worth trading for the beautiful memories and the bond you are creating with your daughter. Never mind trying to work with a chronic pain condition!<br /><br />I do not possess a degree in law, or any degree. My options for work are limited to retail or food service. Living with migraines that are often caused by chemical sensitivity, even going to the store can be a crap shoot-- will I have an episode because the cashier just used cleaning products on the counter? Is the soap they're using in the kitchen going to cause a flare? I start going with all these "what-ifs" and wonder how I'd even manage to hold down a job with my condition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
