already i see it in the two girls: sister camaraderie. this morning, i call the optical neurologist's office to ask if all these side effects are normal. (they are). & then they tell me to wait until after friday & if i'm still having the side effects, to call again. so i'm pissed already & it's 8:30 a.m., before coffee, right?! they really expect me to live with these weird side effects for the rest of the week? for instance: yesterday i honestly couldn't figure out if i had to feed amelia a bottle or baby food or even how to feed her. i just literally couldn't figure it out. i was on the verge of tears! then i randomly get pins & needles in my arms, feet, hands, face. also, i if i just closed my eyes & laid down, i would fall asleep immediately. & i'm supposed to be like this until friday?!
so i had just gotten this news & was a bit pissy to say the least & adeline wanted a snack. yes, it was still 8:30 a.m. & adeline already wanted a snack! so i told adeline to wait awhile. she waited 1 minute. smart aleck. then she brought the honey bunches of oats box over (her favorite snack) so i obliged this time & poured it into a little bowl. but apparently she wanted the snack triffecta, as we call it, which includes a little bit of all the snacks the we own. i wasn't in the mood to mix them all, so i said, 'no you're fine'. she flipped out; i snapped! i jumped around & proclaimed that if she doesn't want this snack she won't get any snack at all...which really upset her, let me tell ya.... then i said something along the lines of, 'stop acting as if the world owes you the snack of a princess' ... SERIOUSLY. what was i thinking? am i 4 years old? anyway, she apparently understood this b/c she started sobbing. she then does this weird flailing herself around the house thing, throwing herself on the couch & sobbing, then onto the floor & sobbing & so on. this entire time amelia is sitting in her bumbo on the floor watching this entire soap opera unfold. finally adeline notices amelia & sits right next to her & starts babbling away, flingling her arms around expressing herself & crying & even pointing to me! millie even looks at me while adeline is babbling, with this look of shock & horror, as if responding to adeline's accusations of what a terrible mom i am! oh my, what a time it is with two girls. i can see the dramas already.
that was all of 30 minutes ago & now adeline is happily watching a dora movie. the one she didn't want to watch, but i made her. but now she's happily watching it. it's the dancing one; the one that's 46 minutes long, not 23 minutes like the one she likes. amelia is also watching it with her right now. i just need to finish a cup of coffee while i wait for the weird topamax side effects to start. *SIGH* wait, we just took a breather to march like the marching ants in the movie...
