One is the loneliest number

"One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Two can be as bad as one,

It's the loneliest number since the number one."

~Three Dog Night

This is the song that's been playing in my head all day.  Bobby has been gone this week at a conference, so it's been just me and Gia.  Originally, I was going to hang out with other adults everyday and get a bunch of errands done.  But then Gia got sick, and I had to cancel hanging out with people.  This is how the poor thing looked for the past 3 days.

Instead, I've been inside, rocking the baby when she's tired and trying to distract her when she gets fussy.  I've had sweet friends offer to have me over and help me, but I couldn't really take Gia anywhere, and I didn't want to get anyone else sick, so I've been just here at the house, taking care of my sick baby.  We were able to get some things done on Monday and Tuesday, but then yesterday and today she's felt worse and been more fussy, so I've been stuck inside all by myself.  

Gia says, "We miss you, Daddy."

So, right now I'm drowning my loneliness in American Idol and a bowl of Death By Chocolate ice cream.

These are the moments when I espeically wish that we had family living nearby... it's okay to give them the baby's sickness, ha ha.  I know that both our moms wish that they could have helped me out, but just having them call to check in on me helps a lot.  At least I have Gia to give me snuggles and Nola to keep me safe.  But Bobby, I'm ready for you to come home!
