Sick girl

Poor Vaughn-elise has an ear infection....again. It started friday night with her getting up several times and then saturday...NO SLEEP. Literally. My parents and i took shifts but I could hear her crying and was unable to get to sleep myself. It was miserable. I felt horrible for her. High fever, stuffy nose, pain in her ears.... i could have cried for her...She couldnt sleep- was uncomfortable. And the stupid doctor wouldnt give us meds because he wanted to see if it would go away on its own. Poor girl. If she wasnt acting better today I would have gone somewhere else. She is doing better, still stuffy but a completely different child. The doctor gave us numbing drops for her ears and sudafed for her cold which seem to be really helping. Not that I want to over medicate her, but I say if the girl is sick- let her get some relief. Hopefully things will continue to get better.

No more walking since this weekend but I am watching her right now walking around her crib, holding on and letting go with such consentration, moving her feet and then falling. She keeps getting up...my little trooper, im so proud of her!!!

I am fed up with myself lately- the way i look, the way I feel! Yuck- blah! I put on some capris this mornign and could barely button them- DISCOURAGING. I am really getting serious again about getting back in shape, losing weight, taking more time to physically take care of myself, do my hair more often, just do things that make me feel good. I just have to stick with it. Its no fun dieting or working out but i need to start realizing that if i dont change things I will just keep hating the way i look. Not fun.
