2 of 25

The day starts as any other- get up, take a fast shower and throw on the make-up and clothes required to make me look respectable.

I woke up with a pounding headache. I blinked my eyes three or four times to clear the blurriness, and realized that it wasn't just any headache, but I was on my way to a migraine. I rolled over to see my sleeping husband drooling into his pillow. We've been married for eight years and I still wonder at the way his skin, thou... More..
