Sherman week in review

Here's a summary of the Shermans' week for ya...

Layla was still snotty, coughy and achy for most of the week. As a result, Jake and I ended up getting sick but fought our way through it in an effort not to miss any work this time around. We seem to be making a comeback... just in time for the weekend.

Layla had her six month check up on Wednesday. She is weighing in at 22lbs, 4oz and is 28in long. So, that puts her at about the 115th percentile mark for height and weight. Nice. ;) We weren't surprised to hear that her ear infection hasn't faded at all, even with the meds she's been on for 8 days. So, she's now on a new medicine that we're hoping works. We've made an appointment for her for Monday to see a chiropractor who will be making some adjustments in an effort to get rid of these chronic ear infections -- don't worry, we've researched this dr, asked our pediatrician about it and received boat loads of advice on pursuing a "witch doctor" for her ears. This dr has worked on a number of babies before, on of them being only 2 hours old. So, that alleviated some of my worries about his experience with infants!

On Wed night before her dr appt, I went to pick up Layla at daycare only to find out that all three of her full time teachers had up and quit. Gone. Vamoose. Bye-bye. Long story short, I got the run around from the asst director of the daycare, Jake went in and talked to the director and put her in her place for not notifying the parents, and Layla will have new teachers come this Wed. What a mess. One of the teachers was "let go" because she was accused of swearing. Are you kidding me?? Who gives a S#!@ if she said a swear word. We do (yeah, we try not to, but we do). The other one was offered more money somewhere else and the third is going to be an in home nanny. Great timing on all three. We're back to square one now... it's like Layla's starting all over.

Does anyone know Mary Poppins by chance? We'd like to hire her.

TGIF.
