Wordless Wednesday- don't feel so good...

Stand me up 'cuz I'm sick!

So, the reason I have been M.I.A. the last few days is because of Miss Sicky. Sidney has been sick and not slept real well (or at all) the last 6 nights. Mike and I are like the walking dead because of lack of sleep. Funny thing though, it hasn't seemed to affect her at all. In fact, she seems determined to try new tricks and basically run me ragged during the daylight hours as well! Here is her latest accomplishment:

Sucks Stinks to be YOU!

Today sucked stunk just a little bit for Meghan. Look to the right and you can see why. This morning at breakfast I noticed that above her lip was a little red, but since she has a cold and has been wiping her nose like crazy, I just chalked it up to chapped skin.

Well, after school she hopped in the car and I said, "Holy crap!". I grabbed her face and took a closer look and sure enough....she's got a killer cold sore. This is the biggest one she had ever had. It is the whole left side above her lip. Poor thing. I asked her, "Didn't anyone say anything to you about this today"?

Apparently, no one had enough guts to ask her "what the heck is that?"

So, we are slathering Zovirax on it like crazy, but I am betting she will have it for a good 2 weeks or so.

On another note....she and I had the puberty talk tonight. Yah, double whammy, huh? Anyway, it went better than I thought it would. She took it all in stride and didn't get freaked out by any of it. I guess now I need to prepare for the "sex talk". That one might just freak ME out!

change of plans

I was gonna post something absolutely spectacular today to seriously SHOCK all of you readers (there are what,like 3 of you?), but I have spent most of the day with my 4 month old baby as she vomited formula all over. Okay, formula stinks anyway, let alone when it is barfed. Fun times. She is feeling better now I think. Sometimes I feel so capable and other times I just feel so useless. Like when your child is sick and you can not do a thing about it. Good thing I am not a control freak or anything. Cause I'm not. Ahem...

Stayed tuned for tomorrow's post though. It is a special day for me and I will share it with you. All three of you.
