No work today (which is bad for a pay-by-the-hour consultant), but it was a sleep-in rainy morning, which WAS nice. Got to go to lunch with my 5 year old, so that was a treat. She loves chinese food, weird in a little kid, I think, and we went out to a local buffet place. It's always fun to grab lunch with just her. She's such an adult. People think she's much older than she is because she speaks so well.
My little one is feeling much better, and that's a relief. It's heartbreaking to listen to her cough. Last night saw one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. she was asleep by 7 and I'm downstairs at around 9 when I hear a sort of muffled crying. I head up the stairs. There she is, sitting on the top of the stairs, pants and underwear around her ankles, bare butt on the carpet:
me: "what's wrong, sweetie?"
K (sobbing): "my underwear is on backwards"
me: "is that all that's wrong?"
K nods.
me: "well, we can fix that."
K sobs more.
What can you say to something like that? She was SO tired she had no idea what was going on. Poor little thing.
