You’re the first person around my age that has said they’ve had headaches since they were young. I’m glad I’m not alone! My doctors never had a clue what was wrong with me because too many different things would trigger the headache. Bad lighting, not eating, sleeping too much, too little, my glasses. I even cut most of my hair off – it was down to my lower back and I cut it up to my chin! – because one doctor thought the weight of my hair might’ve been causing it…

Ashley, how do you remember all these details? I love it and wish I could remember that much about my own early school years. Sounds like 4th grade was a pretty big year for you. I am glad that you, your siblings and your stepsiblings got along well. I was 18 when my mom remarried and I’m sure I didnt handle it as well.

That reminds me of elementary school where I was constantly having stomach aches so the nurses office was my friend. I think I spent a good chunk of time of 4 out of 5 days in there.

Of course I now know that a lot of it was stress related (after ALL kinds of testing) but I was so thankful my g. grandma would pick me up as my mom was in the same situation as yours.

I faked sick ALL THE TIME in elementary school. Looking back, I’m not sure why my mom didn’t just stop picking me up from school. Every one had to know I wasn’t really sick.

I’ve always thought that there is a big jump from 3rd to 4th grade — that’s also the earliest grade that I can really remember a lot from. We learned how to play chess in 4th grade!
