Under the Weather Goat Girl

My Sue Baby started getting pretty snotty and grumpy Monday, and by Tuesday her nose was pouring icky, nasty, gross "stuff". She was scheduled to go to the doctor for round two of her flu shot and her one year old shots. Memaw took her to the doctor Tuesday for those fun events, but they would not give her any of her shots. She was too sick. She ended up leaving with the recommendation of Zyrtec and Mucinex. I called our lovely hometown pharmacy, City Drug, and got all that taken care of that afternoon. She was no better Wednesday, nor Thursday. She wasn't acting "bad", you could just tell she wasn't herself. I kept her home for Tattle Tales Thursday, so she wouldn't share or take germs to/from there. I would have hated for her to make someone else sick. Thankfully, Memaw didn't have plans and kept her again. Today was a different story.... I took off work to stay home with her. I made the decision that me staying home would be the best decision last night. I had prepared myself for a rough day after her fits last night. She was pitiful. She wouldn't take her meds, she wouldn't eat, and she didn't want to go to sleep. She was fit to be tied. She woke up around eight this morning. She had boogers crusted to her nose, chapped cheeks, and a huge smile on her face. She was a sick, happy little girl. I am so glad I stayed at home. I think she was trying to play "hookie". She succeeded. Mama stayed home from work and played with baby girl allllllll day long. She was a little pistol, I tell ya!

The early part of the morning was kind of touch and go. She was fine one minute, and attached to my hip the next.. As the morning progressed she perked right on up.

Mid-morning she spotted the cheese balls on the counter, and she HAD to have some. I may have had a couple myself, and Lola had more than a couple. Suzy is a big time sharer. She wants everyone to try what she is eating.

"Wooooowa" having a cheese ball. Notice the disaster in the background. She drags out everything she can  when it is playtime. 

"Woooooowa" is begging. One was just not enough. 

One for you.... One for me.....

She always has to have one in each hand for reserve while she has a  mouth full. 

Suzy just holds her hand out for Lola to clean them off.... UGH.

 

 After all the cheese ball fun she HAD to have a bath. She was filthy. I always feel like warm baths do her some good.

Cheeto face and sad eyes. You can plainly see she wasn't feeling too hot. 

 Later today I had to run a few errands around town. I drug Suzy out of the house with me. I thought some fresh air would do us both some good. We were getting a little stir crazy. When we got home we played, I read the same book 94 times, danced, ate supper, and Suzy fought sleep. She started getting cranky around five, and it just got worse from there. I decided at 6:45 it was time for bedtime bath and rest. While in the tub she figured out that she could turn the shower on. She was not very impressed with it. She didn't like it one bit, but continued to do it. Some things I will never understand.

Instead of Cheeto mouth for this bath, she had amoxicillan mouth...... Her eyes look much better though, don't they?

Sweet baby girl loves  her bath tub toys her Lolo gave her. 

 Our usual bedtime lotion consists of plain jane baby lotion. Not this week. She gets Vicks on her chest, back, cheeks, and feet.... She is all greased up!

 I have decided that Suzy may be part goat. She eats everything that is paper she can find. Her books look like she has just bitten chunks out of them. She looooves paper. Isn't this called Pica?

Please notice the rolls on her legs and arms, the cellulite on her hiney, and the Kleenex in her hands...

Notice the belly!! She is her Pops made over....
She has snot pouring out of her nose, but won't clean it off... She  uses the Kleenex for a snack instead.

She chews it up, and spits it out. At least she spits it out, I guess? I usually don't let her get this far with it, but I had to have it documented.
I hope that we both get some rest tonight. I am beat.
