I’ve been reading a LOT lately. I’ve got an entire post to write about how awesome that is, having stepped away from books for years. But this morning? Not so awesome. Some late-night reading on the couch had me wake up to the workings of a freaking killer neck-cramp induced headache. I tried to work it out just by getting up and moving and eating breakfast, but it was getting worse. I took some Tylenol before taking LilZ to school and came back home hoping to GOD that NikkiZ would be gentle with me while I waited/prayed/made small animal sacrifices for the Tylenol to start working.
She is now watching her third episode of Dora and my headache is finally going away.
She never just watches TV quietly while I’m in another room. NEVER. But she is now curled up on my bed watching Dora, only yelling when an episode ends and she wants another one to start. Which is when I get off the couch and start a new one. I’m thinking I wont start the next one because I’m feeling much better, but I just wanted to take the moments of peace to pop in and say:
What has possessed my child and how can I pay the culprit/demon/drug to do it every day FOREVER?
The only “belly shot” I’ve taken that doesn’t make me want to shoot myself.
I would love to see more belly shots, i’m sure you look wonderful!
Is it wrong to admit that I LOVED it when my daughter finally reached the stage where she wanted to watch TV for hours on end? It was just such a nice break! Now I consider it a nice break to be in the house with the TV turned OFF! The grass is always greener…
Glad your head is feeling a bit better! And I love the belly shot!
That is such a sweet picture. NikkiZ and her little sibling!
I love that picture!
I can’t beleive how long NikkiZ’ hair is.
Hope your day keeps looking up.
AHHHHHHHHH!!! PREGNANT BELLY!!!! So cute!!
Yay! Belly shot!
I hope you keep feeling better. It always makes the day sucky when you have a head/neck ache, no matter how good the rest of the day is. =(
ohhh what are you reading?
She can sense that her mommy time with you is going to be shorted or spread thinner when the new baby boy comes… so that is why she is so clingy and stuff…
My daughter is far too obsessed with TV and while watch it for hours. I struggle to keep it off. Though yesterday? It was a life saver!
AWWW it’s AndyZ!!
That is cute pic. I hope for the headache to disappear!! I had one going on yesterday from the same reason…so not fun.
“But she is now curled up on my bed watching Dora, only yelling when an episode ends and she wants another one to start.”
I know! How can we teach our 2 year olds to work the TiVo remote? Wouldn’t life be MUCH easier then?
Love the belly shot, and I’m glad you got your needed quiet time!
hope the neck/head ache has subsided for good! Love the pic!
hmm testing my avatar thing… feel free to delete
LOVE the belly shots, gimme more. And in response to yesterday’s quiz: Yes, I’m a yeller when I’m mad and I feel shame about it. But I also yell when I’m happy, excited, freaked out, whatever, so my kids and husband just roll their eyes like, Here she goes again. Crazy woman.
and here we thought you were making this whole pregnancy thing up…i mean, you hardly ever talk about boob sweat anymore.
Love the photo. Awesome framing and the black and white suits it.
Hooray for a belly pic!
