Charlotte is teething and we are here in Florida visiting the family and Charlotte is teething. Did I mention that Charlotte is teething?
I was in Florida on a month long vacation when Little S was teething three years ago and I don't remember anything like this. She's nervous and grumpy and only wanting to nurse and fuss and twist the skin on my arms and fuss, fuss, fuss. So yes, Charlotte. Teething. Aaaagh!
But it's lovely to see everyone and the weather is not as humid as it normally is and we get to spend the fourth in the states for the first time in three years. And we have done a little bit of shopping which is nice. I haven't bought new clothes in almost three years. I've either been pregnant or budgeting or post pregnant so I've easily avoided the stores over the years, but now is a great time to shop because not only am I relatively thin again, but the exchange rate is chanting from the rooftops "shop lady!! go! go! go! shop!!"
My shopping dilemma is this: trying to find a babysitter for the little miss while I squeeze into new jeans, *sigh* No one seems to be able to comfort her except me. Oh well, maybe she'll be better next week and I can peruse the racks in silence. I definitely need a selfish mommy break.

You sound like do need a break! GO LADY! SHOP!
When we were in the States last month, that exchange rate chanted to me too, I swear. But I was pregnant AND budgeting, so no deal.
Hope you find someone and she finds some relief soon.
I usually never shop except bookstores!
You have tried frozen bagel halves, yes? Those really saved me. Good luck.

Uh oh. Teething hell. It is so miserable. We bought mesh feeders and put ice in them (you could also put frozen fruit, but I didn't like the sticky mess). Both girls loved it and it helped with the teething misery.
Good luck finding a sitter.
Anon thanks thats a funny tip. I will dig through moms freezer and see what I come up with. Actually bagels sound realy yummy so maybe I will have to make a bagel run!
