baldies have bad hair days too

I've been waiting ages for Meredith to grow some more of that sweet, angelic, white hair and I think finally we're making a little progress. She has what I call a skullet - it's actually a couple inches long in the back while the front still needs a little work.

Check out that ear overhang...think she gets that from mom?!?

I know these pictures are crappy. It seems like all my pictures these days are crappy since I never see any natural light anymore. It's dark when I go to work and it's dark when I come home so I guess I'm just going to have to settle for a winter of shadowy flash pictures or blurry pictures.

On another note, Meredith has been ill the past week. I had Friday off of work any while I was giving her lunch, her eyes started oozing out pus and gunk so I called the doctor at approximately 12:52. They told me it was probably pinkeye and that they were booked for the whole afternoon but they had a last minute cancel at 1:00 so I said that I'll be right there. Now - I hadn't showered, washed my face, or brushed my hair. I was wearing a crappy sweatshirt and workout pants and no over the shoulder boulder holder (sorry, I don't want to write that three letter word to keep the weirdos away). I looked fabulous. I left the house in such a hurry that I forgot the diaper bag too and of course Meredith pooped in the car on the ride there. So there I am sitting in the waiting room looking like a million bucks with a snotty, crusty, stinky kid. I was mortified (I had to ask the nurse for a diaper and wipes so I did finally get her changed). Anyway...she had developed pink eye in both eyes and an ear infection in both ears. Poor little thing...this picture breaks my heart.

But she managed to get a smile in even when she was sick.

She seems to be back to her old self now. And alert the press...her nose **seems** to be less runny. Keep your fingers crossed that it will stop because after constantly wiping her nose for the past nine weeks, we're about ready to lose it. Our whole house is caked in snot it seems. Every night, I see a nice shiny film of snot on my work clothes on the shoulder and by my knees. Please, oh, please make it stop!
