World of Pain

Punk is cutting her last molar and (I think) some canines and she is c-r-a-b-b-y. She either wants to sleep a ton during the day and therefore not sleep at night, or she wakes up from her nap too early and then is a disaster by bedtime. Ugh. I can't wait until she has all of her teeth. Teething? Sucks.

She also was exposed 9 days ago to Hand, Foot and Mouth (Coxsackie). We thought we had dodged a bullet because she had nothing on her hands, feet, or in her mouth, but she DID have some bumps on her diaper area late last week... which apparently can be a sign. Also, she has two little blisters on her feet now. SCARED. She hasn't been to her day care since Wednesday (Thursday was Yom Kippur, Friday was my day off, then the weekend, then today was Columbus Day) and if she has to stay out for illness I will go berzerk. Berzerk, I tell you!

I had to work today because my agency was bought out by another agency who apparently does not believe in holidays. So I went to work (ugh) and my entire afternoon of clients cancelled (double ugh). My desk area has never been so clean.

My friend Morgan brought Jen and me a cake yesterday for our birthdays. YUM. I think I need to have some cake now. NOM NOM NOM.

Emma and Punkster have both been terrible teethers. I want to smack those parents who say they never know when their kids are teething.
Emma's molars were really rough and the canines have been just as bad if not worse. She has 3 of 4 canines now and the last one has just been taking it's time bugging the crap out of us all. She has been up on average twice a night for over a month now and it was the same way with the molars. Sigh ...
Oh, and we still have the two year molars to come as well. Lucky us.

The funny thing is that Punk sleeps so badly I often don't notice the teeth until after I've gotten really cranky with her overnight. She just gets so restless and since she sleeps with me, it is irritating. But then during the day she will be fine. So weird!!

I am starting to see some bulging in the canine area. Ugh, can't she catch a break?
