UpdatesFirst, baby update:
We went to the pediatrician today and he says the she probably has some kind of bug. Of course I made the mistake of giving her yogurt (I thought it would HELP, not make her urp.) He says no solids for 24 hours and that if she didn't throw up again by tomorrow morning that she'd be find to go to school.
After the doc, we went to lunch with Katie. She slept for all but about 10 minutes. Then when we got home, she crashed for almost 4 hours! After she woke up, we cuddled and then she vomitted again. GRRRR!!! I hope we're not dealing with rotovirus and that it's just stinky puke.
This really leaves me up a creek. My boss is already being pissy about my being gone one day. He'll really have a fit if I miss tomorrow b/c there's a big meeting scheduled that I've got to be at. So, as it stands right now, if she doesn't puke anymore tonight, I'm going to take her to school. If need be, Katie can go get her for me. If she does puke tonight, I'm just going to leave her with Katie. I feel badly about that, considering that she already has one to take care of and adding another one who's sick isn't going to be a bed of roses for her. I seriously appreciate her offer to help, though. The really bad thing is that I'm not going to be able to be with my girl when she's sick and that sucks - big time.
Other stuff:
No go on the other job. Apparently they want someone who does NOT have government experience. Boo hiss.
And, some of you know that I've been planning to buy a house in Jan. Well, my credit is worse than I thought and they can't do much for me as it is right now. But, they can of course recommend someone who will only charge me $600 to fix my credit to the tune of 150 points in one month. (BTW, this is another thing that I'm bitter about concerning my past. Before I left, I had awesome credit. Then I had to live on nothing but credit and now it's in the toilet. But that's really neither here nor there. I've just gotta deal, right?)
So anyway, now I've got to decide whether to stay here in this house, sharing it with Katie and Chris or if I want to try to have this guy fix my credit and qualify to buy a house. Decisions, decisions, decisions. I really want my own place and I abhor the idea of living in an apartment for a year, paying out the nose for it when I can stay here and save lots of money and then have more to put down, etc. But I hate living with people. That's totally not a slam on my sister and brother-in-law, but I just despise not having my own space. So do I suck it up for another year and then really be able to do what I want, or try to force it now and maybe come up short anyway???
On a happier note, here are some pictures Katie took of us blowing bubbles the other day.
I guess I think that by holding my mouth the right way, she'll somehow get it. How much more goofy could I look?? Oh, and what's up with that section of hair doing it's own thing? Someone should TELL you when you look like that.
Rylee is fascinated by the whole bubble process, and watches intently to try to figure this out how it all works.
Something else funny....She and Conan both love to twirl around in my office chair. Taylor has taught them this and Rylee will say "Weeeeeee!" when she goes around. It's pretty fun to watch. And no, my baby is not a binky baby. She just likes to play with them sometimes. They both look drunk, don't they?
OMG! I just looked over at this kid and she has got lipstick all over her face. She's been sitting here handing me things out of my makeup bag and I guess decided to apply a bit before passing it along. If my camera weren't out of batteries, you'd see a picture.
Man, I love that kid. Now I think she is almost ready to go down for what I hope is a vomit free night.
NO PUKE, NO PUKE!
