You know you're a mom when....

You take your sick daughter to the Urgent Treatment Center in a hat and no make up....because you just decided it wasn't worth taking a shower today, and your black sweater is covered in trails of baby snot.

Ava woke up from her nap lethargic and burning up, so off to UTC we went. An antibiotic and decongestant later, I'm already feeling better. However I am not looking forward to waking up every 4 hours for a dose of Tylenol....husbands gone so this one's all up to me.

Snotty McGillicutty

That would be what I'm calling Ava right now because oh.my.god I had no idea something so little could produce so much snot. And all these coughing fits, and snot blowing episodes are the results of.....a cold. A freaking cold. At least if she had something else they could give her something for it, but I'm forced to giver her over the counter medicine, and listen to her snotty little nose try to breathe over the baby monitor. Poor little mommy, because honetly for the most part the baby doesn't seem to care. Sure she's uncomfortable and she coughs and sneezes alot, but she is having way too much fun rubbing the snot all over her face, and her clothes, and her blankets. She will start to get herself into a coughing fit, and then stops to smile and laugh as if it was really funny. What can I say she really is a trooper!


Damn you Chuck E Cheese...
