Alright so it's just that time of the year again, where people talk about the things that they are going to do in the new year to make their lives better. Instead of talking about it, I'm just going to do it. Then everyone can be all "I totally didn't see that coming."
It's possible as well that I wont be doing much of anything. So by not saying that I am going to do all of these things, then no one will know where I epically failed. It's just win win.
Granted labels might give it away...

Nano Problems
Other than being the 5th of November, it's also 5 days into National Novel Writing Month. 5 days with no tally to get behind at all. My nano days appear to be numbered unless I can get something down tonight, when the Bean goes to her father's house.
It's hard mostly because I seem to have all these creative ideas, but nothing seems to want come out of my head. I'm starting to blame the internet for that. With all of it's distractions. It's ways of making things easier while getting in the way of everything else.
My brain I think is on hiatus. I tried convincing my ex last night that I don't have any feelings, but he kept telling me that there was no way I was numb. It's oh so awesome when people think that they have the right to tell me what to do. It comes on the heals of someone that I trusted and thought that I had built up a really good friendship with telling me that I treat my GF (his sister), like a slave, and that I am abusing her. It was wonderful. I know that I don't, or at least I hope that I don't, but there is still that thought in the back of my head. Either way, instead of working on nano for the last 5 days I have been dealing with that crap. Crap I can't even defend myself against, because the person that said it, proceeded to delete me from everything without giving me any explanations. To me when people do that it means they have nothing to begin with.
So that on top of everything else that goes on in my life on a regular day, my brain just isn't there. Oh yeah! The not sleeping for days. Just wonderful. I do think that I need a vacation. I need to go somewhere that allows me to just breathe for a little while. Maybe even just sleep for days. I would love to sleep for days.

At Least 3 Ways the Baby Makes it all better.
Woke up this morning feeling completely crappy. It didn't help that the reason that I woke up was because Bean was up at 630 this morning, but mostly the baby was sick all weekend and I am now feeling the effects of that. Or my mother got me sick, but it's likely that the two of them had the same sickness. I'm sorry that I'm rambling. I have a fairly high fever, and a massive headache. Yes I will be in bed soon.
Anyway Bean was at her dads for most of today, which was awesome. The first thing she did today though, when I told her that she was going to see daddy, was cling to me and go "Nuuu". That's how she says it too. She does it as dramatic as she possibly can. It's entertaining sometimes, but lately it's become her favorite word and is therefore not all that funny. This morning though it was greatly appreciated, since it was her third day in a row to be out.
When she came home I got unprompted kisses and I love yous. I also got constant whining because the kid woke up at 630 this morning, and was then forced to leave her home when she didn't want to. The whining was over ridden by the fact that all she wanted to do was snuggle. It was a coincidence that all I wanted to do was snuggle too. If I have to be sick, then I'm glad that she's all snuggly, and wonderful.

I'm gonna get better.
I seem to be having some problems lately getting on and getting posts done. Not just here, but anywhere. I actually am having problems getting to my computer at all. The little bean seems to think that staying up until 10 pm is the thing to do these days, and with the GF working days now, there just isn't as much time to get to my computer as there usually is. It needs to start becoming a priority though, since it seems as though I will be needing the silly thing to actually make some money.
Right now my little bean has a bit of a small cold. She didn't even want to play this morning, but settled for sitting down in her play yard and playing with some of her toys. Like most mom's I'm spending a lot of time running around fighting with her to get her nose wiped. It usually ends in her crying and then snuggling with mama.
Last night was a trial. She didn't want to sleep despite being very tired. I had gotten off a 12 hour night shift yesterday morning, and only managed to get about 3 hours of sleep so I was also very tired. When she did manage to get to sleep, she was awake within the first hour. Then she went right back out, and was awake 2 hours later. I just wish there was something that I could do to make it so she could breathe better.
Nothing like the baby having a cold to make you feel like the worst parent ever. I gonna go snuggle her now.

All Better...ish.
I don't know if anyone remembers, but about a month and a half ago my little Bean broke her leg, in this freak tricycle accident. Three weeks ago she got her cast off. Two weeks ago I took her splint off so that I could see if she was ready to go. After a week and a bit of watching her hobble along and trying to get back to where she was before she broke her leg, I am happy to report that, other than a small barely noticeable limp, Bean is now running around again as though nothing even happened.
I would post a picture but she's running around so freaking fast that there really is no way to take a picture. Other than when she's sleeping. Trust me I'll bombard you guys with pictures of a wonderful sleeping Bean later, but that's not part of this story.
The good news is, her leg is 100% healed. The weird news is the fact that apparently with breaks this young in life there is a chance that her one leg, the one that broke, might grow faster than the other leg. This is something I knew nothing about, and I'm in the health care field!
I can't help but wonder if this will happen, and if she'll end up walking in circles constantly because the left leg will take bigger steps than the right leg. Or! Maybe she'll end up having to wear a stilt on just one leg so that she can walk normally.
Alright, probably time to get off the computer.
P.S. The Dr. said that it can be fixed just fine if this happens, and that's why we are going back to him in a year to double check.

Kids Hurt.
I have been meaning to post but I have just no idea where I am supposed to start. Sunday night was horrible. I mean not the worst night ever but it wasn't good. My baby has discovered that she has the unique ability to hurt herself. I really wish that she didn't. Everyone in her family is already clumsy, so that was bound to be what would happen, but she really didn't need to also get my ability to royally hurt myself on top of that.
Sunday my little Bean was on her trike, the kind that you just push around while they are buckled in. She loves it, even though she is only 1 and can't reach the peddles just yet. She loves to go "weee" (cause who doesn't). Some how she managed to get her foot lodged between the front wheel and the bar fork that holds the wheel on. That was bad enough. What was worse was she managed go get her whole foot to turn 180 degrees, so that even though she was sitting on the bike still, her heal was pointing straight up, and her toes were pointing to the ground. Even as an RN I couldn't look at it for very long. I've never been good with broken bones let alone my own kid's. Thank god my father is good under pressure and Papa managed to get her unstuck in quick fashion. As soon as she was free and in mama's arms she stopped crying.
So we took a trip to the ER and after a 5 hour wait (because that's what we do with a 1 year old, make them wait for 5 hours in an ER), where she was amazing even though she was in pain, and hadn't eaten, and wasn't allowed to play. She was my hero. She yelled at the Dr. when he put the cast on her leg, when it was declared that she likely had a spiral fracture in her tibia (very not surprised), and flirted with a 4 yr old boy. She had a busy night. She was just wonderful.
Now she still has a cast, even though it's just a half cast, so she can't walk. This is what's causing her issues right now. The cast took away her pain for the most part, but that doesn't mean she is able to walk. Man does she get mad. She's still in a much better mood than anyone else that breaks a bone. She's just the most brave person ever.
Bean, with her cast that has duct tape on it, to keep her from pealing it off. In theory it'll keep her from pulling it off. I bet when I get up in the morning she has it all unwrapped so she can stand up.
