Today I feel like...

I need another day off with Ellie.

Even though the both of us were sick over our long weekend, I so enjoyed spending it with her (and Harry of course). My little girl is just so much fun.

I miss her something fierce today. I wish we were home playing with her stuffed animals right now.

Today

I'm getting work done on my tattoo! Woo hoo! I'm so excited... bring on the pain! LOL.

Ellie's had a cold all week, and yesterday it got bad. Once her temp started going up and she was tugging at her ears, we knew she had to go see the doc. Sure enough, ear infections in both ears. Poor kid. 10 days of antibiotics. Blech.

And Mommy's starting to feel like crap, too. My ear's bugging me a bit, as well, but I'm hoping it'll clear itself up. Bah.

That's not gonna stop me from going under the gun, though. No way! Not to mention that I'd hate to cancel on the guy since he set aside nearly the entire day to work on my back. He was kind enough not to take a deposit; canceling would make me a major asshole.

Just 3 more hours! I'm shivering with antici...
...pation.

I'll post pics tomorrow!
