Hair-pulling Mommy moments

Bug is sick. She has this virus thing. Hubs is sick with it again. I have it too but I rarely throw up so mine is just terrible tummy pain. Sooo I kept Bug home from school today and told her she needed to rest as much as she could. She hates that. All day she threw fits about where to lay, what to watch, what to eat. She is very like her father in that she gets horribly grouchy when she is sick. Then poor little Squeak is teething. She has always been a very miserable teether . Tears, whiny, and miserable no matter what. First she wants to be held then she wants down then she wants food then she throws it at me. Between the two girls I was about to rip out my hair. Add that I feel pretty miserable myself and it made for a very long very moody day. Luckily Squeak is in her crib sound asleep and Bug is in her room watching her Friday Disney shows. I am going to take this much-needed opportunity and curl up with a glass of juice and my book.

What do you do on those days you feel like you are going crazy and all you want to do is scream and hide from the world?

My new favorite teething treat!

So Squeak is approaching the 6 month mark. She has been eating baby food for a while now. She loves peas and carrots the best! She has a snack food called Mum-mums that are like rice crackers that she is also pretty fond of. We are now fully into teething. She gets the fever, the crying that only being held fixes, the swollen gums. Poor thing is miserable. I have people tell me ice cubes work, or jerky, or a wet washcloth or a host of other things. I have discovered though that Squeak loves frozen Apple slices. Now it can be a little messy as they thaw but man do they quiet her down and help her poor mouth feel better!!
