its like a heat wave.. burning through my heart..

July 08th, 2010

and yes.. I had the messy gross kid at the drs office whose hair smelled like sweat.. I love summer!

I love this heat.. this is definitely not a venting blog post.. no pun intended.. today we ventured off to the local neighbourhood pool.. dropped trou and went for a couple dips.. It was hot.. at least at the beach we had the nice breeze blowing off the water.. but here.. no such luck.. we hung out with some of our favorite baby friends.. and than called it a day!   I made sure to wake up nice and early to go get some groceries.. do some banking.. and run all the errands that always get pushed back due to beautiful weather because my body shuts down and lets the sun rays beam in!  My first mistake however was going to the grocery store hungry.. that is never a good idea.. especially cause I was allowing myself to buyone treat for the pool.. well a bag of golden oreos.. cheezies.. diet coke.. and mini white doughnuts later.. here we are..  for those of you who know me well.. know that i love EVERYTHING in the freezer.. everything tastes better.. especially golden oreo cookies and nutri grain bars.. I ask everyone to try it at least ONCE.. and if you are not convinced.. I will sell you my first born.. it is that good.. 

  Today was also an 18 month shot day :(  yes I know she is 19.5 months old.. but things happen and the appt kept getting pushed back.. I think mainly to the fact that i know she is smart enough to know what is going on.. and my big ol heart couldn’t bear it..  we ended up getting the wrong forms and we filled out the 16 month baby ones.. and the nurses and drs thought she was an “advanced genius!”  but alas.. she is a normal baby.. :).. we had a new nurse checking her out prior and she accidentaly measured her length wrong.. so when the Dr came in she showed us her chart.. and said that she can handle her being an “Olive” baby.. but not one that isn’t growing long either.. and we were going to have to draw blood to check some things out.. GULP..  4 pokes and blood drawn was to much for me.. something felt off.. and than the dr came back in and asked to measure her herself and than noticed she was off an inch.. phew.. crisis averted.. no blood to be drawn..  

  There is only one word to describe the shot ordeal.. OLIVE LOST HER SHIT!..daddy held her down while I cringed and tried to make a happy face.. while she let out blood curdling screams.. lips going purple.. veins all over her chest were starting to show.. and she was pissed..  I was thankful at this moment that she can say and knows what “all done” means.. because she kept saying it over and over breaking my heart.. I used the only trick up my sleeve that i had.. the bottle.. and it was rejected.. that was all I had.. she was so angry she was hitting me in the back while I was trying to comfort her..  fast forward to home .. where we played outside.. had a cousin2 visit.. cooled off with the hose and called it a night.. and for the first time in a month.. she went to bed at 7:30.. and it feels good..  due to the Tylenol recall and the millions of free bottle pamphlets that were distributed.. I am now banking on rite aid Ibuprofen.. and hope it will do the magic trick!  

and know because I post poned my ladies night happy hour due to a “mama crisis” I about to enjoy a Stoli Blueberry Vodka with calorie free crystal lite lemonade.. mmm.. life is good.. 

and now some photos from our wonderful two days of our Seattle heat wave.. where the car read 101 degrees when I entered it.. 

she looks guilty.. but these were community crackers… 

sharing is caring.. 

and on a really nice side note.. Olive rocked it at the pool today.. she wanted more more more.. she was even wanting to “jump” off the ledge and kick her legs in the water.. my scaredy cat baby is venturing out! although.. she was afraid of her own shadow again yesterday..  baby steps.. baby steps..
