Headaches and Ice Cream

Today I woke up with an appalling headache. I took an Excedrin tension headache pill and went back to bed after I changed my baby's diaper, gave her a bottle, and left the husband to take care of the rest of the pack. Woke up again about 10AM and headache was still there being oppressive so I ate some breakfast and took another pill. It is now 12:18PM and I have been working on this paper on applied research that is due tonight by midnight. Husband is watching kids again and I am having a brain fart on top of this headache so I figured I would write about it, hey something has to work right??


In other more fun news.. Last night I tried the recipe from Kevinandamanda.com for the homemade ice cream without a machine. Oh man, was it good and easy! I did buy the fat-free sweetened condensed milk and then I put that Betty Crocker Mocha flavoring for cupcakes in the mix, then added a bunch of big pieces of double stuffed Oreos. It was delish (even before freezing it!) Next time though I will use maybe half as much of the mocha flavoring, it was really strong! Thank you Amanda for that idea!! Then after the fact; even though I truly enjoyed using my stand mixer and whipping that whipping cream to stiff peaks, I realized that I could have saved some fat and calories and just bought some Cool Whip! :) It might change the consistency, but something to try for next time... I figure wherever I can cut calories and fat then I probably should! 


I should mention that is a perfect 69 degrees, mostly sunny day here in Nashville. We've got the windows open and breeze blowing in..ahhh! Perfect day for a walk in the park!
