baby toofs

Poor Lydia is teething. She's getting her right bottom molar and it refuses to come out. The gum there is just ballooning up and getting more and more tender. I put her to bed at 7 and she keeps waking up screaming bloody murder. It's horrible. I gave her tylenol, which I hate to do because she had a 103 temp yesterday so I was forced to give it to her a couple of times then too. Fifth's disease was going around Lilly's classroom so I think Lydia got it. Her cheeks were red and now she has some mysterious spots on her butt. Sounds scary but it's a rather harmless childhood virus with a stupid name. It's named because it was the Fifth childhood disease with a red cheek rash discovered. Dumb right?

In other news: I won a giant wooden tiki fork and spoon on ebay! Score!

Also, I ordered my Laptop Lunchbox! I did great on my eating today until Lilly suggested we visit the chocolate aisle on a trip to the store to get craft supplies. DOH! A bag of dark chocolate almonds later my good job today feeling is ruined. I will try to get it back tomorrow by walking my street and eating my delicious spinach chestnut dip with celery sticks for lunch tomorrow. Man, Brian really doesn't help me out by leaving, not one, but two giant bowls of potatoey goodness in the fridge. One of potato salad and one of mashed potatoes. I resisted and didn't touch either one at dinnertime but it might be harder tomorrow to sit at the table with him at lunchtime while he chows down wide load. I'm going to chant "LARD ASS LARD ASS" at him every time he lifts his spoon to take a bite. I just realized that having two refrigerators would be wonderful. Mine would be all clean and full of healthy goodness and his would be full of cherry limeade, various potato dishes and chocolate milk. Maybe I'll start looking on Craigslist for a small one for me for reals. Then I wouldn't have to look at his shit food and be tempted. Not that I am blaming him for my weakness. I have a total food addiction and being here alone every night it is really easy to just sit here and snack. I just know if I buckle down I can lose those 50 lbs by August for Jill's wedding. Man, some popcorn would be good right now... AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
