Bad day

Charlie had his one year immunizations yesterday, and he was amazingly good about them. With the first shot, he literally gritted his teeth and just looked at the nurse as though he was saying, 'you bitch.' I should have known something bad was around the corner - we don't seem to get off easy!

This morning Charlie was SUPER sleepy, which is rare but not unheard of. We've had a weird, busy couple of days, so ok, you're tired. As SOON as I picked him up, though, the shrieking began. And it didn't stop. All. Day.

His arms hurt - I get it. I remember once, I think I was 10, I had a booster and holy shit! did my arm hurt. I remember my mom telling me 'oh god, Kristina, it can't be that bad. And if it IS that bad, you'll have to move it before it'll get better! So stop complaining!'. If I could have said that to Charlie today, I would have. There is only so much 'oooo, you're ok, let's snuggle' one can say, people. I hit the limit today.

So, all day I had a whiny baby. Oh my goodness, the child whined about everything. Plus, he couldn't seem to make up his mind as to what he wanted to do! 'I wanna be on the floor! Whaaaaaa!' 'Gimme that toy! I said THAT TOY! Whaaaaaaa!' 'THAT TOY! Whaaaaa!'. It just went on and on. Matt couldn't believe it when he got home. This was not our child. Plus, he barfed a TON today - apparently, one of the side effects of the vaccinations can be nausea, but nausea for Charlie means barfs because he doesn't have anything stopping the barf from coming up! So, lots of clean up today. He even threw up his solids, at which point I (actually) threw in the towel and just snuggled him for the rest of the day.
I'm now wondering if tomorrow will be worse. I seem to remember my arm getting sorer and sorer until it just stopped being sore. Hm.
So, that was my day. How was yours?

Bad day - Daniel Powter

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oooh.. a holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

(yeah...)

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
