The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

Thank goodness it’s Friday. Busy day number 3 is currently in progress, but I have the weekend and a babysitter tomorrow night to look forward to!  I’m just taking a short break to type out a couple posts while I eat some lunch.  Elliana was late going down for a nap, but at least she actually went to sleep this time.

My dad stopped by in the midst of all the chaos, and he offered to put her to sleep for me while I ate lunch, but it just wasn’t happening.  She is a total boobie baby, and she won’t go down for a nap without nuzzling and sucking.  She spit the bottle out the second he’d put it in her mouth. I ended up sending him away to run his errands while I put her down with the “mommy time” she wanted.  He said he’d come back to see her after her nap, so that’ll give me a bit more time to get some stuff done while he’s playing with her.

I’ll probably take advantage of that time to jump in the shower.  I had a bath with Elliana last night, but I just don’t feel clean right now.  I think it’s because I’ve been stressed out, so my face looks like a pizza again. Plus I haven’t been eating exactly the healthiest of foods this week. We’ve had a lot of pizza because it’s been the easiest thing for me to grab and eat on the go.

Plus this time of the year I tend to get these nasty looking bumps on my chin that are HUGE. Hubby has nodular acne, so I’m wondering if that’s not what this is, too. My whole chin will turn into a huge pimple. There’s never a head on it to pop, so I just keep putting meds on it until it finally disappears. Sometimes that can take weeks. When I was a teenager my doctor told me it was probably allergy related since it happens at a certain time of the year, but he never gave me a definitive answer. Now that I think about it maybe I should get it checked by a dermatologist. Then again that’s just one more thing on my list I don’t have time to do right now.
