Fish or cut bait?

I haven't posted for a while because I've had mastitis off and on for about 10 days and M had a stomach virus. This meant that she would be totally fine during the day, running around and getting into trouble. However, at night she would regularly throw up from 4 am until about 5:30 and then again around 6:30. This went on for more than a week. We missed one night of throwing up in the middle of this time and I naively thought that the puking was over. So foolish. That night she actually threw up on me while I was giving her a hug. Ugh. At least I felt like I could laugh at it because I had reached a parenting milestone...being puked on. I've had everything else land on me, so why not vomit too?

The other reason I haven't posted for a while (besides also misplacing my camera, which turned out to be under a seat in the car) has to do with making a few decisions. A good friend of mine (you know who you are!) is interested in blogging and blog design. She's going to be visiting me this weekend and is going to give me a hand with my blog. We talked a bit about blog names and making it easy for people to remember the name of your website. Now I feel like I'm in limbo trying to figure out if I change the website or not. The problem with this is that I have a big backlog of pictures that I'd like to upload but I don't want to upload them if I'm making some serious changes to the website and they won't be saved. Decisions, decisions.

And, with that my three minutes of free time are up. M just stuck her head in my bedroom, then stepped out and slowly closed the door. Door closing has been a popular activity in the past three days now that she's figured out she can do it. Without fail it usually signals that something very bad is about to happen in another room, like my makeup bag has been discovered or she's taking everything out of her drawers and Theo's. I wonder what I'll discover today...
