Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That's how I feel. Riley Kate's got a cold and she's getting another tooth. Shoot me now.

Last night was really rough; she didn't want (or couldn't) go to sleep, so she was up until 9:30 or so. She was fine until after 10, then pitched a fit. Finally rocked her back to sleep, then all hell broke loose at midnight. By 12:45, back to sleep. 5:30, she was back at it again. Finally around 6, we fed her (she normally doesn't eat until 7), she chugged it, then freaked out some more.

She's on Motrin, Tylenol, homeopathic teething tablets and her nebulizer. We're on about day 2 of this one, so I'm hoping it's only 3 or 4 like the last tooth. The worst part is not being able to calm her down. She's so sad and miserable, it breaks my heart. And the scratching and hair pulling is painful. I'll try to stop hurting myself. HA! (But seriously, that kid has some claws and can rip hair out of my head like no other. Yikes!)

However, the report from school is that she's passed out in the swing and has been for 2 hours. So I think tonight, we'll bring the swing upstairs and see if we need it. She hasn't been in one for a couple of months now, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
