No!

That’s the word of the day… I was a bit frustrated. I’ve been trying to work on colors with her and it’s not going so well. I think she’s either protesting out of spite or is color blind. I mean if the kid can rewind a VCR tape to the part she wants to watch (and hit play), see a plow on tv and yell plow, see an animal once and say it’s name… then why can’t she tell me the color of her favorite toy which she’s been told a thousand times? I got aggravated when I was trying to work with her on it and wouldn’t give her the toy until she told me the color. She would keep yelling no, so I gave up. Then anything I’d ask her to do she’d yell no. She looked really pale today, so maybe she’s coming down with something or it’s her last tooth breaking through. She’s been gnawing on her fingers all day asking for her passy. Which I’m debating to get rid of. She only has it when she sleeps and it pops out right after she falls asleep. So, it’s not really hurting anything, but still…
She didn’t wake up until 9 and let me sleep until 9:45 before saying my name. She likes to play with her toys in her crib, so it give me an extra 30-45 minutes of much needed sleep. Then she took a 2 hour nap. She didn’t feel feverish, so I don’t know. While she was sleeping I made her a ribbon holder for all of her bows. It’s really cute. Then I saw mom’s stack of fliers for Nationwide and felt guilty I haven’t passed them out yet. So when she woke up we walked the back half of my neighborhood to pass them out. Let me say, IT WAS HOT! And I didn’t realize how many hills we have. I got a major workout pushing the stroller. Not going to be fun for Halloween, but hopefully it’ll be cooler and not as hard. I’ve worked on the calendar the rest of the day and only have 1 more best bet to write and I’m done for the week. Well, I’m headed to bed. Hope everyone had a great day!

RIP

My favorite comedian, George Carlin, died last night of heart complications. He was 71. How sad that 2 of my favorite actors have died this year. Makes you want to embrace life even more. We will miss you!

a bit better, well…

Neil came to fix the sink. Yea! Somehow it got clogged with macaroni. Now there is drano all under the sink and I have a splitting headache, so it will have to wait until tomorrow to be cleaned. The whole house needs to be cleaned but I need the strength to do it. The doc called and said hopefully we’ll hear something tomorrow about the test results. They have to wait for the cultures to grow something, if there is something wrong. Then run more tests if something does grow. So who knows what the deal is. I just want to hear that it’s nothing and she’ll get better soon. She at least hasn’t had another bad diaper since this morning. She’s eaten almost a whole thing of puffs. That’s about the only thing she wants to eat right now. Judi brought baby food and rice cereal and she won’t even taste it. Her fav words today have been “not nice.” Everything is not nice. Poor baby girl. She at least played all day and was sweet until this evening. Of course that is when my head started hurting. Well, I’ll keep you posted on the test results. Hope everyone had a better day than us. Things have to get better now!!!
