This was yesterday, after she woke up from a nap. Lately she's been waking up and immediately goes into the crying and screaming. This is pretty much the angry face I have been dealing with for the past week or so. There is a special hell for whoever thought it would be a great idea to make the teething process painful. MY GOD. Of course, my being the sick parent that I am... what do I do? Take pictures of her all pissed, swollen and grenuda. Her hair was awesome. Add some tears and you got one pissed off looking monkey. Still cute, just pissed off and swollen.



So I went to the chiro on Tuesday to help my pinched nerve. He popped a section of my ribs and clavicle. It helped temporarily but I still feel like I got stabbed in the chest. He told me to expect it to feel worse before it gets better and all.. but goddamn this is some seriously painful shit. Breathing hurts, any movement hurts. And yeah, baby + crutches. You can imagine I am getting even less sleep and this morning I woke up congested and with a sore throat! WOOT! I go back for another adjustment today, this time for my whole back but if this doesn't help me soon I am gonna take a dive off the Coronado bridge y'all. As if dealing with the teething demon isn't enough, but a gimpy foot, a bad back and now some cold bullshit?



HEY YOU UP THERE!! YES, YOU... CUT ME SOME FUCKING SLACK!!!

That the food I order at restaurants should be hot and served to me with a happy fucking face

That words speak louder than actions at times

A good massage

That soup heals

True Love

Self preservation

That solitude can be just as rewarding as having company, if not more

Laughter though tears is one of the best feelings in the world

Baked goods and chocolate can cure the shittiest of moods

A good haircut makes or breaks you no matter how nice you are dressed

going to Starbucks for seasonal lattes.

This morning I woke up with a gnarly ass pinched nerve in my shoulder. You know, the kind that numb your arm and breathing hurts? Yeah, one of those. It was a rough night with the kidlet who woke up far too much for her own good. Thankfully I am able to get in a massage tonight before Josh leaves tomorrow. And man do I ever need it.



I was looking in Reza's mouf this morning during one of her screaming attacks and it seems, or looks like there may be some molar action on its way. This explains a hell of a lot. It doesn't make it any easier, but the fact there is a possible end in sight to the mood swings makes me a little more at peace. She has been a tad better today... progress my friends, progress.



I have noticed I have a horrible sense of structure for sentences. I flip the order in which words should go in order to convey a more concise thought. This is where being bilingual has its tricky parts. Grammar isn't my forte.



Shopping for Josh is HARD. It doesn't help his bday is 3 days after Xmas and well, he doesn't like 2 in 1 gifts. I wouldn't either. I got some good loot lined up though, I just hope he likes it cause he is a picky bastard.



It sucks when there is little to no kid friendly food in the house and what little I give Reza ends up being fed to the fucking dog.



I find big smiles in the fact that The Wonder Pets went on vacation to Mexico on today's episode. Singing to the mariachi was badass. I like this show more than Reza.



I dunno what is wrong with me but I think The Girls Next Door is one of my guilty pleasures. Kendra is an idiot! gold diggers + silicone = what's not to love.
