Parenting Award? ... Not Today!

Our poor little munchkin has been a little under the weather over the last couple of days. It started out with a fever and CRANKINESS ... major CRANKINESS ... which is totally contagious I might add! She didn't have much of an appetite, was drooling like a geyser and had her fingers in the sides of her mouth constantly. Once again we were thinking ... final molars ... but since we were WAY wrong last time AND we had a appointment booked, again, to have her final vaccination I asked that the doctor take a look at her throat. He did a quick check and said everything seemed good. Off we went ... without the shot ... ugh! Cadence
remained pretty cranky the rest of the day, into the night ... hardly ate, whined, said, 'no milk' ... WHAT???? ... she loves her milk!
She went to bed well, but was up within a half hour and again after another half hour and then again ... this time to puke (our first I might add!). By midnight she was down for the count ... well, until 6:36 am., early for her (and us!). She was finally feeling cool to the touch which was good news. She laid in bed with us and we all napped a bit longer ... phew! I thought we were in the clear when she asked for milk ... her typical morning routine ... and boy did she suck it back!!! Yup ... all was right with the world ... right????? Ummm ... NO!!!! Two minutes after that, Sean came up asking if I thought the milk was off ... I couldn't really tell ... I don't drink the whole stuff. Well, upon pouring some into the coffees the answer was thick and clear ... yeah the milk ... the sippy cup full that she inhaled ... was in fact sour! So now, we wait ............. and get some fresh milk!!!!! We suck!

....and now I always smell the milk before opening it. Even if it's new. Welcome to the club!
