Rough Start

Yesterday started off pretty rough. Ellie was up most of the night. I think she decided that sleep isn't really all that important. When I finally got out of bed I had a temp of 102. Needless to say I wasn't feeling my best. I proceed to feed Ellie at which moment she throws up all over me and our freshly laundered sheets. I'm trying to clean up, yelling for Phil, and searching for my glasses on the nightstand all at the same time. I guess I was a little preoccupied with all the vomit and knocked my glasses in the floor. When Phil picked them up, of coarse, they were broken! All who know me understand how devastating this is because I am seriously blind. First thing I call the eye doctor to get an appointment, but she is currently out of the country (just my luck) and unavailable until next week. The same afternoon we have an appointment at the Embassy to get Ellie"s passport. We all have to be present for this. So, we crowd into a cab and head off (I still have a temp and have my broken glasses balanced precariously on my nose). Thankfully everything went smoothly there. When we get home I have to start dinner cause in the midst of the madness I forgot we were having friends. I can honestly say that I was relieved when the day finally ended.
