oh baby girl! im sorry you've been sick for months now and that your poor little nose hasn't stopped running since october, but how can i resist posting these pictures??

you've been such a trooper, but this week (ok, so its only monday!) has been HARD. daddy left this morning at 5am. i cried because i just don't know how i can go through another week without him. but the kids were so good this morning getting ready for school, even with the time change and trace gave me a big hug this morning as soon as he woke up (trace is not a big hugger). that is a great way to start the morning.

i decided to take you and cali to the store after my sorry excuse for a work-out (i figured that crying my eyes out at 5am was work-out enough for the day). that was a mistake. i should have put you down for an early nap, but we went to the store instead... big mistake. we went to walmart because i needed groceries, medicine, earplugs (for my trip), webcam (for skype), so walmart was the one-stop shopping i needed.

seriously lucy, you cried the ENTIRE time at the store. 35 minutes of crying. nothing could stop you. toys, crackers, candy, nothing. and when i was just about to start crying myself and after a small lull in your crying/screaming, cali said, "here she goes again!" i started laughing. i am sure everyone in the store was thinking the same thing... here she goes again.

you cried all the way home but fell asleep in my arms as i carried you upstairs to your bed. i felt so bad for even taking you to the stairs. sometimes i forget that you are still a baby and need 2 naps when you aren't feeling well, especially on monday. you slept for 4 hours and woke up in the best mood.

thank goodness.

(i hope you will forgive me for posting these pictures one day!)

I love you!
