A Math Problem

What does irritability + diarreah + extreme diaper rash equal?
I think that Kate is finally working on some teeth! Hopefully for her sake it goes quickly. : )

No Way, Not Me!
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
I know that I have missed the last few weeks of "Not Me Monday" that was started by Mckmama, and I know it is a Wednesday, but this I just had to share.
(I can picture my husband shaking his head as he reads this.)
Last night Kate made a mess, and it did not stay in her diaper. Me unsuspecting of this large of a mess picked her up from her high chair and turned around to lay her down in her pack and play to change her.
The next thing I know I have poop all the way up my forearm and all over my hand. I turned around to look at the highchair and sure enough, it was there too.
At this point I wasn't sure where in her clothing it was coming out so I picked her up and carried her upstairs (by her armpits, not that she even noticed) to assess and clean up the damage.
I should tell you that she did not have a cover on her changing pad at this point since she had an explosion the prior night as well.
As I was cleaning everything up I quickly washed my arm/hands and took my rings off in preparation to give the stinky one a bath...much needed.
I didn't put my rings back on until I was about to leave this morning, and it was in the dark.
I made it all the way to work and sat down at my desk. All of a sudden I realized that I could smell something a little funky. At first I figured I must have stepped in one of the dogs' gifts that they leave outside for us.
Do you see where this is going...
There was Kate poop on my ring. And not just on my ring, but on the main diamond.
After laughing to myself, that this would only happen to me. I quickly took the ring off and cleaned it up in the bathroom.
Ahh, the joys of motherhood! : )

Nervous Driving
Monday, March 8, 2010
This morning I realized that my license tabs had expired on February 28. This means that I drove around for an entire week with out-of-date tabs and did not get caught. Whew!
I guess this might not be a big deal to most people, but when I lived in a house with four other girls during college, two of the girls got ticketed while their cars were parked out front for not updating their tabs. And if I remember correctly the fine was pretty high for the type of offense.
Our tabs cost so much more now with the new truck that I wouldn't want to pay any more than I have to!

A Case of the Black Tongue
Sunday, March 7, 2010
Earlier this week I noticed something kind of freaky with Kate. Her tongue was black on the top back.
I noticed it when I was picking her up from daycare, and in the hustle and bustle of going home I forgot all about it.
I didn't see it again until yesterday, which of course made me wonder about it again. She doesn't seem to be acting differently, which helped to keep me from freaking out, but I was still curious about it.
So today when we were at Target, John and I bought a baby toothbrush (yes we are now these parents...crazy) to try and brush it off.
Well that didn't work, especially since Kate got pissed when we stuck something into her mouth that didn't have food on the end of it.
So I of course took to the Internet and found out that it was the medicine she was taking for her ear infection that caused it.
The only really bad part about it, is what it is called...
Black Tongue a.k.a. Hairy Tongue
Now that's just gross!

Messy Wall
Sunday, February 28, 2010
While Kate was sick she picked a morning, while I was trying my best to get out of the door and get to work, to redecorate the walls.
You would think that this type of issue would only happen with a little boy, or even with children who are old enough to hold markers or crayons...but nope our resourceful daughter found a way to do it as well.
As she was laying down on her changing pad and was unfortunately between diapers, she coughed. This wouldn't be an issue, except that she also had diarrhea.
I was in shock and watched "it" spray on the wall, on Kate, on the basket holding all of her diapering supplies, on her diapering supplies, and start to drip down the wall behind her dresser.
Yuck!
I cleaned her up, carried her into the bathroom and woke John up to help me out.
After more coughing and "it" in the bath tub as well as on the carpet, her butt was finally covered and we were out of harms way.
That didn't stop her from needing a new pair of pants half way through the day as well.
What a mess!

The Plague
Friday, February 26, 2010
It has been quite a long time since my last post, but I have a good excuse...the bubonic plague has swept through our family and our house.
Okay, not really the bubonic plague, but probably the worst cold any of the three of us has gotten for a really long time, like years (or ever in Kate's case).
Thankfully it is almost completely gone and only is evident by my/Kate's/John's lingering phlegm coughs as well as Kate's daily medicine.
Last Wednesday is when it really started to hit me, and by Friday I could barely breathe without coughing up a lung. Soon this spread to Kate who was coughing (surprisingly sounding a lot like me even though she is so much smaller), full of snot, and had a fever.

Kate sitting in her Bumbo while I worked from home, this was the day before the night we brought her into the ER. Though she was sick, she was always smiling!
We ended up heading to the emergency room on Monday night with Kate and found out that she actually had an ear infection, hence the daily medication mentioned above. The reason that we went was because she was having trouble breathing, which was only due to the large amount of crud in her lungs from the cold.
Kate relaxing in her chair, unless she was sleeping this is as relaxed as she would get, the stinker.
So after having everyone in the family miss either work, daycare, or family events we are all finally on the mend.
Our house has been cleaned, which I swear is helping us to feel better. There is nothing like killing all of those cold germs with a little bit (a lot) of bleach!
