took izzy for her shots today, that always makes me feel really good about myself. she was all cool when i laid her down on the little table cuz it was covered in crinkly paper and she loves that. so then the nurse comes in and isabelle cuts her eyes at me like "what's going on here?" and stares down the nurse w/utter mistrust the entire time she's talking to me. so then i took her pants off and the nurse gave her the shot. that's the worst part cuz it takes a second for her to get over the shock and start crying, but in that second she looks at me like "why are you doing this? how could you let them do this to me?" and i have to hold her arms down during so she doesn't swipe at the needle. i hate that. i feel like i'm betraying her. i picked her up to comfort her immediately after but when i tried to lay her down again for a second to put her pants back on she screamed bloody murder. and now she's old enuf to remember things and to try to get away so i'm sure these visits will get increasingly unpleasant. foolishly, i took her to the lab to meet my coworkers after that and she was not having it. she only cracked a smile for 3 people after she was pacified w/a stuffed animal. she wouldn't even let draya hold her. poor baby. on the upside, she went to bed an hr early (because she refused to take a nap when we got home) so her guilt-ridden mommy can finally decompress. and we get to repeat this delightful process again next mo, but after that she doesn't have to get anymore until she goes to school. join me in a collective "phew"
grrr...you know what i hate? that levi's commercial w/the cover of walk the line. i'm not really a johnny cash fan, but i take it personally whenever a classic song is butchered for advertising purposes. if you want to use walk the line, use the cash version, don't use some breathy chick who sounds about 12 and sings like she's reading the lyrics off a cue card. this could lead to a lengthy rant. i've heard so many bad covers in commercials lately. magic carpet ride (for wendy's?! why? why?) in a big country, i'm sure there's more but i block them out. oy. on the other hand i saw a jeep commercial w/g. love and special sauce. finally, someone appreciates them. *claps excitedly* i really want to see them again, not pregnant, seems like they hit ia city every 2 yrs or so so i should check their tour schedule. erm-right-bedtime. or rather go-out-and-get-diapers-cuz-i-just-realized-i-only-have-2-left time.
