stop the world...i wanna get off

punkin lost her first tooth last sunday and another one is wiggly. last night, her best friend's mom told me they were going to be moving out of state next month. i have been sick since i got back from cali. i'm afraid to answer the phone because lately it has been people wanting me to do things. i am at one of those points where i need to step back and take care of myself.

punkin's friend moving is the second one she's lost in the last 2 years. i remember how hard it was when my best friend moved away when i was 5. of course, now she lives 30 minutes away. i tried to use that illustration to comfort her and show her that just because m. is moving away doesn't have to mean the end of their friendship. i don't know if she bought it.

the tooth thing just caught me off guard. punkin's always been a little behind in that department. she didn't cut her first tooth until she was 9 months old. i suppose i expected her to be at least 7 before the first one had to be sold to the tooth fairy. she got $1.16 for that little tooth. i used to get a quarter. *sigh* inflation.

i am fairly sure that i have a sinus infection. monday i had too many clients to make a dr. appt. and yesterday the punkin stayed home "sick" (which i suspect was more of a need to spend time with me). i am burning up, though the thermometer only says 100. i just want to crawl into bed and pull the covers up over my head.

okay, i am done whining. must call the doctor now.
