Aaaaand, that picture rightly sums up the last 48 hours at our house. My crummy phone pic quality even adds to the accuracy of the message it speaks. Naomi has her first ear infection - left side. She slept terribly Monday night and everything went downhill from there. Let's just put it this way, make-up was NOT an option today if I wanted to appear even slightly alive. What's the recipe for this bout of sickness?1/2 cup drool every hour.
Wake up crying in the night 12 times.
3 boxes of kleenex; use to wipe runny nose every 5min.
Rock in the rocker to squeeze in cat naps.
Refuse the bottle 4 times/day.
Only breathe through the mouth.
Rock some more.
Stir in a cry or two. Daughter and mother both may partake in this step.
Baby must not go to bed until 11pm.
Bake with a fever at 101.1 degrees into the wee hours of the morning.
Garnish with a call to the doctor and serve while rocking some more.
Enjoy 3/4 teaspoon of Omnicef for dessert!
But hey, I can only say that my daughter's smart! She wanted to get this thing cleared up before her BIRTHDAY party next week! I was torn about how to handle celebrating our little one's first year of life. The trend anymore is to throw elaborate parties, even for a one-year old, when I could count the "friends" parties I had when I was young on one hand!! AND we had to walk to the party up hill both ways! Final decision = small get together (far away from family... :***( boo hoo hoo), handmade invites, and easy on the decorations (but enough for sweet pictures and memories).
I would have gladly made up lots of extra invites to send out to our loved ones just for the heck of it, but... well, I'm just too lazy. So here you go. Consider this your copy. But PLEASE call me if you really get nuts and drive ten hours to be here so that I can order more party subs and Izzes. Lol.
