So Much For Foster Care

Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. That's the way I feel about the following picture. To illustrate, I'll list the parts, and you can figure out what the whole picture is.

1. I'm reclining in the dark

2. I have a microwaveable hot pack on my head

3. I'm sniffing maple syrup

4. I have an unhappy expression on my face.

Have you added it up yet? Okay, here are some more clues. I'm doing part's one and two because I have a TERRIBLE headache but we don't have any medicine that I'm willing to take. I'm doing part three because my sense of smell has gotten very keen lately, and I think our house reeks. Sweet smells seem to help alleviate the accompanying nausea. And part four is simply because I've wanted a baby for ever since I can remember, and was conviced that it wouldn't happen, and now that it has I am excited, but so far pregnancy sucks.
