headache

Taking the kids to school today and Abbey was very quiet - I thought she was upset with me because she missed breakfast and had to get in the car. The whole time she's leaning towards the window so I can't see her in the rear view mirror.

We drop the kids off, go home for something we forgot, and head back to the church to play volleyball with our friends. I bring out something for her to eat for breakfast and it's the first time I've seen her or heard her since leaving to take the kids to school. She moves up from the back of the van to get her food and looks very tired and on the brink of tears. Having spent 2 of the last 4 nights up with a puking toddler, I was not looking forward to what this little face was trying to tell me.

'Abbey, are you okay?' (tears very close to falling)

head shakes no as she rubs her temple

'What happened? Did you hurt your head?'

head shakes no again. 

'Then what happened? Are you okay?'

'Lucas. Lucas was talking too much and gave me a headache.'

'Ohhhhhh, I'm sorry, why don't you go lay down on the back seat and rest.' (funny and sad all at the same time!!! hahahaha!!)
