Molars suck

[judecorp]

We were supposed to go meet some friends at Davis Farm in Sterling today but Jen has some weird skin infection and it has gotten really bad, so I cancelled last night. It's a good thing, because she's down at the hospital women's clinic right now because the doc she saw yesterday wasn't really sure what to do about it. It's a heck of a bummer, though, because it is positively GORGEOUS today, at least this morning. Hopefully it will still be nice after naptime and I can take Punk to the park so she can enjoy some of the day.

Poor little punkin pie is teething molars hardcore right now (they grow in spurts, this has been going on for freaking ever) which means she is getting calluses on her fingers from chewing on them so hard and has been nightwaking. Typically it's been somewhere around 4am but last night it was 1:30 or so... night waking means in my bed which basically means my night of sleep is over. This has been especially rough because I have been having a really hard time falling asleep at night because of anxiety over my friend's lost baby, my child care provider's biopsy, and two of my friends having suspected miscarriages. It's just major Bad Juju Week and I can't sleep, and by the time I fall asleep, Punk's waking up. Awesome.

Anyway, I think I have slept somewhere around 10 hours total this week and that kind of sleep dep typically causes my knees to ache (why?) so I have been popping ibuprofen like candy. And of course Punk decided to wake up at 6 this morning instead of 7 so I had to drag my sore self out of bed to entertain her. I tried to have her read some books in my bed but she couldn't do it quietly and Jen got upset that she was waking her up. Bleh.

She is finally asleep and my original plan was to try to nap while she did, but I think I might have dozed off while she was watching Diego before lunch (he's better than Dora but I still hate them) and now my brain is whirring again. Dang.

Jen just called and is on her way home after picking up a scrip for Bactrim. Erk. If she has MRSA I am going to have a hissy fit.

I hope Jen's skin issues are nothing serious. I know how the molars suck. Emma's 2 year molars too FOREVER to come in and she would wake several times a night just screaming bloody murder. I would give her motrin or tylenol and that would help a little but never enough for her to sleep well. :(

I'm sorry thing have been so hard with so many of your friends this week. I really hope things start to turn around soon for you.

I'm sorry this week has been so horrible. I hope next week is better.

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with Dora?

I've seen a back teeth teether called The Teethifier in various catalogs. I've been thinking about getting one for my nephew since he's got molars coming in too.

I tried that with my kids and they hated it.

Hey, I know this is super annoying, but as a former survivor game player (and winner! congrats!), I'm sure you understand. The dreaded challenge where we have to go out and find certain people to post in our thread in support of us.

So if you would like to support me (and I hope you do!), please go here (http://community.livejournal.com/survivorlj/766059.html) and leave your info.

Thanks for your time!
