Day Care Cooties

Lollipop has her first cold. I'm home from work taking care of her. She's OK, just a stuffy nose and nothing else (no fever, etc), but it's breaking my heart. I spoke to Dr Coy, who said not worry and that I'm doing the right things to take care of her (saline nose spray and sucking out the gunk with a nasal aspirator), but I am a wreck. It doesn't help that I have had about two hours of sleep, I guess.

I knew that when I started her at day care, she would get colds and germs -- I just wish it hadn't been so soon. I wish it wasn't so hard. I wish I had more help. I wish a lot of things. Ugh, this just sucks.

She sounds like a little piglet - all snuffly. Even as miserable as she is, she still gives me the sweetest, most beautiful smiles. She's just so wonderful.
