rough day

it was inevitable...thalia has her first cold. poor girl is completely stuffed up. she has only been in day care for a week!! although, lately a bunch of 1 year olds have been in the infant room when i drop thalia off in the morning and the other day they totally surrounded her in her carseat and i think all of them were snotty. gross. so now thalia has given me her cold. so my nose is running, my head hurts, and i am freezing!
on top of that, she has been sleeping terribly. part of it was probably the trip to michigan and having to sleep in a "crib" (read: pack n play) at the hotel. the "experts" say that babies thalia's age don't really need to wake up to eat in the middle of the night. and to feed them only a little bit so they "realize" they don't get much for waking up. yeah flippin' right. feeding thalia a little bit only gets me a screaming baby at 1-1/2 hour intervals. she doesn't eat that frequently during the day! this is getting totally ridiculous. forget the experts. she is just going to get to eat as much as she wants because i am tired of getting one hour of sleep at a time. it hasn't been this bad in months! and of course it is just me down here so i don't get to rest ever. last night she went to sleep early but then i had to catch up on all the stuff i had put off from being gone last week - like laundry, unpacking (still not done), paying bills. i still didn't get to bed until i usually do.
okay, i think that is all the venting i have for today. to end on a funny note, we had to get a medical form filled out for thalia for daycare and at 6-1/2 months, thalia is in the 82nd percentile for height and 28th percentile for weight! what a lil' peanut!!

much love and no sleep,
