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.

Oooh. We had the bad teething, too. I'm so sorry. We also had the HFM at about the same age. Christian got it from the neighbor girl who got it from preschool. He had the kind that was only on his bottom and then blisters in his throat (who knew?). It just sucked. When I first heard about it, I seriously thought that it was something only zoo animals got. I was mortified. Sad. I know. Anyway, Sending lots of good thoughts that it all passes quickly.

Yeah, I think she has it only on her bottom. Well, it's gone now, but that's where she had pimples. They looked kind of like mosquito bites. Is that what they look like?

I don't think she got anything in her mouth, though. She has been eating fine... then again, she is teething too so who knows?
