My goodness it seems like my girl has been sick forever. In reality, it has only been 5 days. Poor girl has been glued to my side and will not let me out of her sight.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
This is how most of our week has been spent. It is so sad to watch. I hate feeling helpless. I am thankful that she is finally recovering. It could have been worse. We snuggled a lot. At least she is healing and so far, the other two have stayed healthy.
Today I took her to the Take Care Clinic at Walgreens. Mainly because our doctor is too far away and I would not have had time to get there and back before Annie's preschool ended. She woke up this morning coughing and saying that her throat hurt. I don't mess around with sore throats.
I have had strep way too much in my life.
Luckily, the rapid strep test came back negative. The nurse sent a throat culture off to the lab to be on the safe side. I have to say that I was impressed with the care we received.
The wait was kind of long though.
Here are a few pics I took with my cell phone as we waited...
Must you take a picture of me in Walgreens Mom?

(I am so bored!)
Homegirl threw a few tantrums when we finally got back into the room. Things she hated include but are not limited to:
Being weighed
Having her blood pressure taken
Having her throat swabbed(twice)---with her on that one!
The nurse looking at her or speaking to her. Period.
At one point she asked if that was normal for her to act like this at the doctors office. Uh, no! I just told her that it was probably because she was not feeling well.
Who knows.
*******************
If I can get her to unlatch her tiny fists from my body sometime soon, I plan on posting our Christmas and New Years photos. Oh, and since I made some resolutions...ahem...goals for the new year, I think I might share them too.
It's quite a long list.
Not joking.
Oh, and I picked a word for the first time ever. Something to strive for. I guess because that is what all the cool kids do.
Simplify.
Ironic, yes?
