10 months!

Remember my post from yesterday? Well, not 10 minutes after I woke from my afternoon nap, I got a call from Rose's school that she had spiked another fever. You've got to be f-in' kidding me, I thought! Seriously, we can't seem to catch a break in this house!

I went right over to pick her up and we cuddled for an hour or so until Grammy came over. She (Grammy) took charge for an hour or two while I continued to rest, then it was time for dinner (none of which Rose would eat), a bath (which lasted about two minutes), and bedtime...for both of us! Thankfully Mike was able to stay home with her today. Any fever requires that kids be out of school for the following 24 hours. At this point, I would simply like Rose to be able to attend a full week of school since we're paying an arm and a leg for it. I want to get my money's worth, darn it! Well, more importantly I want Rose to feel better! And me to feel better! (Let's hope Mike continues to escape this latest bug!)

Rose seemed to have a wonderful 10-month "birthday" with her dad today. She finally started practicing the "m" sound today, and he even heard her whisper "mama" under her breath!!!! I can't wait to hear her call me by name one day. That would make all the recent trials and tribulations disappear in an instant!
