Molars suck

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.

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.
