Sunny 9 for 2005 February 11

Just like Alyson, I have a sick baby. Last night before bed I changed Lily's diaper, come to find out her poor bum was red. I put her to bed, but then she woke up at 1am with a stuffy, snotty nose. I felt so bad for her. She couldn't really nurse well b/c her nose was stuffed up, but she was waking up every hour and a half none-the-less. She also had diarrhea b/c she had a messy diaper every other time she woke up, and she would howl in pain every time we changed it. It is so sad having a sick little baby on your hands. You feel so helpless, and then you start thinking that her not sleeping well was a piece of cake compared to watching them suffer.

I took her to the doctor, and they didn't say anything surprising, so afterwards I went to the store to get heavy duty desitin and cold medicine. At the store she sneezed a couple times and lots of snot came out each time. It was pathetic. Better out than in. I hope she is feeling better and that her bum doesn't hurt so badly.

Last night for Enrichment, we had a healthily living lesson, and I was on the food committee this month. I decided to make Hummus, so I called Alyson and got her tried and true recipe. I am not a huge fan of Hummus; especially store bought hummus, but this stuff I could not put down. It was just sooo tasty. Aaron even likes it. It was funny b/c in line I heard people say "what's that?" "It looks interesting...” "I'll pass on that". I was a little embarrassed b/c I know how it feels to be talking about someone and they are behind you. Not that I was offended, but I knew they would be embarrassed if they knew I was the one that made it. Thanks for the great recipe Aly. Garbanzo beans have 9 grams of fiber per serving so, if you need a little nudge, there you go.

On the not so bright side, Bishop called Aaron and asked if we could speak in church. Meh. That is probably my least favorite thing to do in the world is be in front of a group of people. I thought since we had been in the ward over a year and were leaving in July that we cleared the radar, not so. Oh well, we didn't have to speak in our old ward so we had some luck.

I rented Cold Mountain on Clean Flicks, so I'll let you know how I like it on Monday.
