The Princess is sick. She threw up in the sink last night and didn’t even tell me!! When I asked her why she didn’t come wake me up she just said because her tummy hurt too bad. : (

Today she kept wanting to sit down when we went to Levitz with my mom to get a new couch. Then at Target she was practically begging me to carry her or let her get in the cart. Normally she’s darting in between racks of clothes chattering away non stop. Then at dinner at Buca De Beppo’s she took one bite of bread and told me she couldn’t eat anymore. The last few months she’s been eating as much in a sitting as I do. After the bite of bread she fell asleep with her head on my lap and didn’t even wake up when the ENTIRE ROOM sang my mom happy birthday. So all she’s had to eat today is a half a serving of a McDonalds fruit salad.

The worst part about being a mommy is the helpless feeling you get when your baby is sick. Normally she’s a very independent child but when she’s sick she tries to attatch herself to me and it hurts my insides when I can’t do anything to make her feel better.

When you take medicine that says “May Cause Drowsiness” what they really mean is “You Will Snore”. This isn’t so bad. Unless you snore while still in your cubicle at work. THAT could be bad. I can’t decide which is worse, constant scratching or feeling like a walking zombie.

They went away for about two days but as soon as I was off the Prednizone, they started to come back. This paragraph is mainly for my info. So just in case I’ve taken medicine before I go in to the doctor and start rambling incoherently I can point to the computer and tell him to read. heh Technology is fantastic.

Cassidy has a project due on Monday. We’ve been reading all about Benjamin Franklin. She’s also started multiplication. I swear I was a junior in highschool before we started learning multiplication. Not SECOND grade. I use a calculator to check her homework every night. Okay, maybe technology isn’t so great…

*falls back asleep*

I finally activated Aksimet to get control of some of the comment spam. YOU don’t have to worry about it because you never see it but I was getting 200+ emails a day asking to moderate comments. I activated it today and not a single spambot made it through. Hopefully nothing got sent there that shouldn’t have been. 283 comments were caught between 5:30AM and now.

I’m itching again. Suck. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have some scars on my wrist where I scratched for a month straight and until I had big sores on my arms. I don’t get it. I’ve NEVER had allergies before. This year I’ve had the Attack of the Killer Hives and I’ve spent the better part of two days on the couch dreading the next time my sinus medicine wears off. Today it was so bad that I got flushed and REALLY nauseated. Like, fetal position begging food to stay down nauseated for about 30 minutes.

Cassidy and I are shamelessly addicted to America’s Next Top Model. She tries to explain to them through the TV how to take better pictures and demonstrates her “walk” over and over and over. I think I actually get more of a kick out of her watching it than the show itself. She also thinks that Jade is “really lame” and has a *hands on hips* ‘BAD attitude”.

I had a bit too much coffee to drink this morning and realized it had been awhile since I’d taken a vanity shot. I guess I got kinda bored of them for a bit. Or maybe bored of ME? I tried to make a cute face. Then I remembered it was 6:00AM. Then I tried to make a smoochy face. But that’s never been my “thing” and my ’smoochy face’ looks more like ‘trout face’. Then I tried cute and hand gestures. That just looked stupid because I don’t to peace signs, I do middle fingers. Then I got tired of trying and went for “total moron”. And whadda you know? We have a winner!!

A few minutes after I sent it to the flickr and textamerica accounts, I got this email:

You are editor’s pick. http://antigone.textamerica.com/?r=4702294&go=ep.mail Hello… This is a little note to let you know that you’ve been selected as an editors pick for your moblog named “Sidekick Love”. You may view it on the front page of textamerica.com.

Apparently, the editors at textamerica are blind.

The comments are getting spammed like a mofo. 200+ yesterday, 70+ today. It seems as if every once in awhile some spambot comes around and starts hitting all the posts in pretty much sequential order. It’s now on this post from November of last year so hopefully the bastard will go away soon. If you post something and it gets deleted in the mess I’m very, very, very, very sorry. You should only be moderated the first comment you make anyway unless you use a new email addy.

Traci, I found your comment. It was #74 from yesterday’s mess. It’s there now. : )

I’m happy to report that I’ve only itched about 10 times today and it was only during a stressful conversation. I am officially on the road to recovery. So, if you are here from some search engine ‘hives are teh suck’ hit or something, push away from the computer and RUN to the nearest doctor for some Prednizone.

Also, something totally bloggable happened at work today that would have made you all laugh and would have proved my “kinda bitchy-ness” but I’m really skeptical about posting work stuff here anymore in the off chance somebody would happen to stumble across it. Ben and I kinda broached this topic at dinner last night and really, the job/pay/free health benefits are more important to me than making you all laugh. So, till I find some more convenient way to post them, you’ll just have to believe me when I tell you how fun it is to work with 350 retarded monkeys women. heh
