Well, as a follow up to my last blog. Maddy did sleep through the night last night... until 6:30 this morning. I was even able to give her a kiss goodnight before I went to my Dermatology appointment. That also went well! As always, they saw me right on time (7 am.) and since the meds are working (YIPPEE!) I don't need to go back until February and I also have refills on all the meds. I mentioned how one of the medications was $60 and while I found that steep, at least it works and I don't need to pay the entire $180 without insurance. I thought my doctor was going to have a heart attack right then and there (mentally reviewing my CPR in my head..while he freaked out). He could not believe it was that much and that's highway robbery! So he ran out and came back in with a $30 off coupon for me! And it's reusable on refills for $20 off. Yeah! But he said, "You should call them and get your first $30 back!! SIXTY DOLLARS that is ridiculous!" He did thank me for mentioning it though, since it's easy for them to forget how much some medications are. He also offered to put me on a topical that has a generic. I told him I'd like to stick with what I'm on since it's working and I haven't had any nasty side effects.
This morning was pretty slow around here. Maddy and I did a lot of coloring, playing with Playdoh and trying on her Halloween costume for a party this afternoon. I fed her at 11:30 and put her down for a nap early at 12 so we'd be able to go. Well, she woke up in a really foul mood, so I called the mom and asked if she would excuse us from going and maybe we could host a playgroup for her an Annabelle on Monday instead. 
So that's what we're doing! I host two playgroups on Monday now. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Hey, at least I only have to clean once. :) We'll give Annabelle her present then.
This afternoon was more of the same, hanging out and playing. We had soup, sandwiches and salads for dinner. It's been a while since we've had something so simple but with the rain, tomato soup just sounded fabulous. I especially love the Trader Joe Tomato and red pepper soup! Beats canned any day!
Tonight seems to have gone as easy as last night at bedtime. It's a really long bedtime routine and we spend too much time rocking her. But at least there's no hysterical crying and we're not up the stairs 4 times during the early evening.
(Maddy got into some peanut butter while I wasn't looking!)
Tea of the day: 2 cups bigelow pumpkin spice, 1 cup teavana coconut aloha, 1 cup Lipton white tea with Mango and Peach
