She wears it well...

You'd never know by looking at these happy face smiley pictures that Layla Bean is still not 100%. This weekend was rough... it was like a roller coaster. One minute we were up, the next, we were down. Layla now has pink eye (yipi di doo) and is still battling some sort of virus that she just cannot seem to shake. We've yet to make it through a night where she doesn't throw up at least once before bedtime... and we're not talking about a little puke here... We're talking strip down the sheets, do three loads of laundry, mom shower, dad shower, Layla bath, and start all over. No fun. Stressful, worrisome and just no fun.

In between the "downs" mentioned above, the "ups" of the weekend pretty much included just hanging out w/old friends (Layla and I, while daddy went to drill). The weather SUCKED... so we were trapped indoors all weekend... Spring couldn't get here soon enough.

I feel very similar to the way I felt when Layla was still a newborn... beat down, exhausted, at the end of my rope. I managed to get a one hour nap in today, which was good... especially since we didn't get to bed until midnight last night, were then woken up at 2:30 a.m. by a bunch of drunks yelling "Sherman! Sherm! Sherm!" into our bedroom window (yes, crazy mama ended up getting up and yelling, "Shhhh! Shut up! Shut up!" as they were standing on the deck pleading w/Jake to let them in)... Good job papa, for telling them to shut up and stay out... and then up for the day at 5:00 a.m. w/ Layla. I can't be a hater, been there, done that... but we were EXHAUSTED and with having so much trouble getting Layla to sleep for the night these days, the last thing we wanted was a bunch of idiots hanging out on our deck waking up the neighborhood at 2:30 a.m. (seriously, they woke up the neighborhood... we're still hearing about it tonight).

Needless to say... these pics still give us a light at the end of the tunnel... Layla still manages to whip out her big chubby smile in between her fussy times and sicky times. Bless her heart.

Wish us luck this week... really hoping things turn around for us soon... No more daycare! I hate daycare!!! Boooo daycare!!!!
