okay, i admit, i'm sick and tired too

the munch is sick. she has a terrible cough and a very snotty nose. last night she cried like she used to when she was newborn, without stopping! i think the more she cried the more her throat hurt. i spent from 1:15 until 2:15 walking around the basement showing her the cats and other such things like the washer/dryer, old beer tap, snow shovel...etc. bottle didn't work, nursing was out of the question and made her very angry if i even tried, in fact when i walked back into our rooms from the basement she would get upset. finally, it was four hours after the last dose and i gave her some tylenol hoping it would help any throat pain or whatever...eric held her, standing up because sitting wouldn't do of course, and spent about 1/2 an hour looking at, counting, singing about and poking the penguins on the curtain. he sang to her over and over until she fell asleep sitting up in his arms...and we did the transfer to me for nursing her to sleep. it only took three tries ha! today she is taking a marathon nap thank GOD! in fact i mean to check on her soon because it's been about 3 hours and i'm sort of worried.

she has had more cranky moments and is much more quick to have a tantrum (straighten out and squinch the eyes while crying loudly) when something doesn't go her way, but i have to say, she's still her sweet happy self, finding smiles everywhere.
