My poor diseased child...

...So picked up E yesterday from daycare. The 'teachers' said her eyes were running BAD all day. I get home and get on the horn to book her an appt. with the on-call dr. Now, not knowing the history, you'd think, big deal. Yeah right!! This has been the hmmm...thinking...I'd say 8th time I've been to the dr.'s office in the past 5 months! You know, could be more than that. Anyway, low & behold, she has an eye infection (I'm just glad it's not in her ear like the last 7 visits). So, daycare's policy: 24 hrs on anti-biotics before back in 'class.' And mama & E get a day home together.

One would think this would be an excellent opportunity to bond. Have you ever been home with a sick kid? Oh, and did I mention she's teething? Yeah, boat load of fun. I'd rather been working!!!! But I love the little farty-boom-pants so I deal with it. Or try to at least. Thankfully dear Jeffy came home early and took a shift with her. Which was also really helpful because I did a CRAP load (pardon my language) of cooking. Right, remember the "new me" from yesterday...holy cow, I'm about ready to reclaim my old self. :) Just kidding. I prepared snacks for J&I for the week, 1 complete meal and 2 others with Jeff's help. It was A LOT of work, but I know I'm worth it!

Anyway dolls, I am so friggin tired, I my-as-well crawled in E's crib with her. (Now that'd be a sight!!) Take care till tamarra!

What a sin about Emma!! The poor thing ... it is always something. But, it really isn't unusual with a little one. That is the way it seems to go. Just think though, all these sicknesses and crappy times are all in preparation for building her a super immune system to carry her through life. So, that might be some consolation :)

All that meal prep is the same. Sucks at the time!! But, you'll really appreciate it when you are using it. It will be so convenient.

This is a success you can build on. Planning and getting ready is more than half the battle I think!!
