A week in review

This has been quite a week for us in NC.

On Monday Mr. C left on a business trip to CA. And Melly and I have been living the high life as women on our own. And as I have said earlier I am looking for a job...well of course I got a call for an interview on Monday. After explaining to the very nice lady that I would love to come in and could it possibly be at the end of the week so I could find a sitter she told me to bring the baby in with me. (Wow, people do that?) So I washed her and dolled her up and we went off to the big city. As I pulled into the parking space and turned off the engine (with five minutes to spare) I turned to look at my baby in time to watch her throw-up all over the backseat of my car and herself. So I pulled her out as soon as she was done, stripped her down to naked, wiped her down with baby wipes and re-clothed her in our spare clothing (with no pants) and left my car full of vomit for the interview.

We made it on time (although very smelly) and had the interview. The lady was very impressed with Melly....probably not as much so with myself. But she said she was doing call backs for the second interview next week so we shall see. After the interview I went down to my foul car...and cleaned it as best as I could in a parking lot. (Mostly stripping off the padding that I could and wiping down the rest.) And drove home. That was Tuesday.

Wednesday we went to playgroup. And the ladies were very nice and watched Melly while I went and got the car seat out of my car and Mrs. B put the rest of the padding in the wash while I sprayed down the plastic with cleaner. It is mostly clean now. But Miss M was not too happy all day and not sleeping well because every time she lays down she ends up coughing. Poor thing. That was Wednesday.

Thursday...Ms. M went to Gymboree and had a pretty good time, however she was very tired. When we got home I put her down for a nap and she woke up fifteen minutes later and threw-up all over her crib, the floor, me, and her changing pad. So I cleaned everything up, including the baby and called the doctor to get her looked at. That was Thursday.

Friday... We stayed at home all morning. And after declining a morning nap she went down hard at 11a. And woke up at almost 1. Then we went out tot eh mall to get a Valentine's Day present for Mr. C. And after that we went to the Doctor. She listened to her breathing, looked in her ears, and in her mouth and Miss Melly does not have pneumonia. (One of her playmates does and so it was an honest concern.) But she does have rattling in her lungs and so she is now on antibiotics for five bays. She also does not have an ear infection (thank goodness). So we got home and she threw up on me again. (Goodie.) And quickly degenerated into whining and ultra grabby so she has been put to bed already. But we are now officially on the mend.

Tomorrow we have a Valentine's Day party at Gymboree and then we will be picking up Mr. C from the airport. Hopefully after a good night of sleep and medication Missy will be feeling much better and we will all get some good sleep. Which reminds me that I have to go and fill the humidifier for her again. So good night. I am enjoying my pizza which they were kind enough to deliver to my house.

Cheers.
