Exhausted Again, as usual...Lots of stuff today...

Damn! I'm so tired, I was seriously contemplating pulling the truck over this morning on my way to work and sleeping! How sad is that?

Baby guy was sent home yesterday from daycare. We have had a rough past 2 weeks with his teething, but we have been getting by...

Needless to say I was surprised to get a phone call from the center asking me to come get him and that he had a fever of 101.7. He didn't seem 'sick' just a temp and he was very unhappy. I call his Dr. and talked to an advice nurse and said 'Look, I don't know what to do, Do I bring him in? I know he's teething, he's not showing any other signs of an illness.' They said to get him home and check him out for myself. I would know whether or not to bring him in.
And they added that sometimes, The Daycare's temperature reading can be a tad high. Meaning, they elevate the temp by a notch or two to get the kid out of the center and out of their hair. I know he was giving them a run for their money yesterday! When I got to the daycare, they tell me his temp was 102, now WTF? So I get him home and cuddle him and love on him. I took his temp with a thermometer pacifier and it read 99.1... HMMM that’s not 101.7 or 102 for that matter.... But I will let it go for now. When I got him home, he was laughing and giggling and all over the place. HUMPF 102 my ass.

Sophie (our Nanny :)) played with him so I could work for a few more hours while watching her 'stories'

He went to sleep for the night without any fuss and slept for 5 hours until around midnight. He just did not want to sleep alone. I was up 3 times with him. Rocking him till we were both asleep and I would put him in his crib. But when he realized where he was and that I was not around, oh man, was he pissed! So I ended up bringing him to bed with me and Hubby slept on the couch. Baby guy slept the rest of the night next to me.

If I could, I would cuddle next to him every night. But that’s a bad habit to get into and I would never get him out of our bed and into his own. We know a couple who are going through that with their toddler; He has never slept in his crib, only with mom and dad.

So on Saturday I am scheduled to have my fitting/sizing, whatever you want to call it, for my Matron of Honor dress for Cole's wedding, she's one of my bestest (Is that even a word?) friends. She chose periwinkle as the color, and it looks really nice. However on the fabric we chose for the dresses, it looks a tad on the lilac/purple-ish side. Hey I'm not complaining. You know I absolutely adore purple anyway. Her wedding dress is gorgeous. Words cannot describe how this dress looks. It was quick and painless when we went to pick out a dress for her.

I am planning her Bridal Shower and already have the details down pat. I have the party favors already! Now how is that for preparedness? I tell you I am too good!
I wanted to have it at a restaurant in a wing off to the side with an appetizer type finger food buffet and informal-sit-anywhere type of environment. I figured why not let someone else clean up the mess? However, a Bridesmaid nixed my idea and I should have told her to 'stick it' but Cole asked me to accept help if they offer it. So anyway this Bridesmaid offered up her mother’s house to have the shower. I should have said 'no thanks' But again, Cole said, "She's trying to help"
Anyway, I have a sneaking suspicion that the shower will not be held there, I just have that feeling and I should be looking into the cost of going ahead as I had planned originally, In other words, 'Thanks but no thanks on your Mom's house' This is my show, You do what you want when YOUR a Matron/Maid of Honor. I get one shot at this for Cole and I don't want it be ruined in anyway what-so-ever. HA! Take that! Besides, this Bridesmaid already had issue with the date I chose for the shower, it was the day after her birthday and she would be hung-over and would Cole get me to change the date pleeeease? Get Bent Ma'am. Cole let her have it, and the Bridesmaid backed down. Cole even told me to watch this Bridesmaid and that she would try to steal my show since it was being held at her mother's house. Like 'It's my house, I say what goes', type of elementary school shit.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I want this to be easy as possible for everyone, including me. I should start calling around getting quotes...

Well that's all for today. I have some work to get started on and some escalations to handle...

Bye for now
Mom
