Up yours, as it were...

ailbheI inserted a suppository and was treated to a violent fountain of green poo with the suppository surfing the crest of the wave. So I inserted another one, pinched the buttocks together, and got the fountain without the surfer. The victim was heartbreakingly tolerant of it all, and I will recover someday.
I can't believe I did that to my daughter. To anyone's daughter. To anyone at all, in fact.
The good news is, Emer is now sleeping sweetly with a temperature of about 37.5C, and I have had a bath which relieved my congestion and earache. We have all eaten (sausages, eggs, beans, rashers of bacon, toast, orange juice, and tea - quick and nourishing) and Emer has started keeping down more feeds than not.
I've done a load of coloured laundry, a load of whites, and a load of nappies, and folded all the clean, dry nappies ready for use. Rob has set another load of nappies to soak, and emptied all the landfill and recycling bins in the house. He's also sent his mother a message not to phone at midnight and reassembled the floor-covering foam alphabet jigsaw. Next up is undecorating the tree, which was pulled down by Linnea in the night, and dumping it outside the door; we can take it to be mulched on Tuesday.
I wish you all a restful 2007 with as much excitement as you will enjoy and as much sleep as you need. And I strongly recommend that those of you with babies beg, borrow or steal an ear thermometer.
