There’s nothing like a screaming baby to break a woman of any desire to blog.
Inspiration, where art thou? Are you in the sink with the dirty dishes that I wanted to wash this morning? Are you in the basement, with the beautiful Sears washer and dryer that should have been running all day, but aren’t? Are you in the Sam’s Club box of 80 tulips that I wanted to plant yesterday because winter is coming and soon it’ll be too late for gardening?
Inspiration has not shown his pretty little head as I’ve been caring for my poor teething babe. Livia is now sixth months old (a birthday letter will be coming soon, once Inspiration returns) and she is working on perfecting her fussy attitude. Yes, yes, I know that I’m the luckiest woman in the world because Livia is usually the most laidback child ever. Nonetheless, I am being poured out for her and there’s not much energy left for my blog.

Teething is icky. Counterpressure and Tylenol are the only things that seem to help Kate any. Press on!

understandable, understandable, yes it’s perfectly understandable.

Comprehensible, comprehensible, not a bit reprehensible, it’s so defensible! (Sarah, I started singing this and had NO CLUE where it came from momentarily. Hee.)
Kristen, someone suggested this little vibrating teething toy from One Step Ahead, so I bought it this morning. A little teething solution for her, a little shopping therapy for me… Things are looking up! ; )

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes they both, oh yes they both, oh yes they both, reached for, the ring the ring the ring the ring, oh yes they both reached for the ring, for the ring.
(Teething ring, that is)

Have you tried Hyland’s teething tablets or gel? They’re homeopathic and they WORK without totally drugging the kid up on Tylenol as I have had to do several times recently! You can get them in the drug store.

Friends suggested Hylands to me just the other day, and then our ped recommended them at Livia’s 6 month checkup yesterday. The one store I shopped at yesterday? Sold out of Hylands. I’ll try to pick some up this weekend.
