Eight is Great!

Eight Things I Did Yesterday

1. Took Lucero to her 9 month check up. All was fine and she didn't require shots, but...

2. The doctor requested a lab to see if Lucero needs to take a daily vitamin, plus to test her for lead. Well, that was like the worst thing ever. They pricked her four times! Once in her heel and then on her finger, neither of which drew enough blood, so they had to get the needle out to draw blood from her veins. They missed the vein on one arm and the lab tech kept fumbling with the needle while it was still inserted in an attempt to catch the vein. That didn't work. So they tried the other arm, but only after I held a heating pad on her arm for five minutes, which supposedly helps find the vein or something. They did finally get it, but my God, Lucero was screaming bloody murder. It was just awful, because Lucero seemed tortured and what was worse is that from her point of view there I was, her comforter, someone she trusts, yet I couldn't do anything to help her. Plus, it makes me feel bad for the techs, who probably hate to be put in that position. I'm sure they feel horrible about it also.

3. Ate too much. Chicken fried steak for lunch. Flautas for dinner. I feel like a piglet.

4. Picked up my new glasses.

5. Drove to Odessa, just Lucero and I. I discovered there's some missing CDs in my car. As the super anal person that I am, I want them back ASAFP!

6. Also, sung at the top of my lungs, while Lucero napped in the backseat. Poor baby. She endured so much in one day.

7. Made little pigtails in Lucero's hair.

8. Visited with my cousin in Odessa.
