Day 4 : Groundhog Day. 

Seriously?

Fevers are still here.

Our new friend BAD COUGH showed up last night an hung around from 2 - 4.

We have to be on a plane in 3 days. I'm looking for Good Luck, if anyone has any hanging around.

Let's hope Disney 09 does not include hospital visits..

What day is it? 

Saturday night after trick or treat I sat down on the couch to watch a movie.

It feels like I have not moved since then.

Emily woke up that night with a fever and "the sick" moved into my house like a bad party crasher. A fever for 2 days then it was gone. She was fever free this morning and we thought she would go to school tomorrow.

O. I'm sorry. Did I just make plans? out loud?

Because the SECOND I said she was fever free, she spiked to 101.00. And no I do not appreciate the irony.

Aiden woke me at 5:00 to tell me he was cold. Well, that was not possible, since he was ON FIRE with a fever. At 8:30ish we gave him some more Tylenol and he promptly hurled the entire contents of his stomach. For most of the day he ate and drank nothing. FINALLY tonight he kept down a sandwich and a dose of medicine. 

We leave for Florida on Saturday. I'm hoping we are DONE being sick by then. Don't want to make Mickey sick.

Sick Day

Emily is sick.

She's not THE SICK.(there is no OINKING going on).

But she has a cold that is keeping her temp at 100.1 / 99.5. She has to be at 98.7 for 24 hours before she returns to school. So tomorrow she will be home too.

Aiden Emily and I did NOTHING today. We did a LOT OF NOTHING.

Normal days are in and out of the car, errands, school and maybe soccer. We move a lot. Today was nice. We watched 2 movies and ate bad Halloween Candy all day.  I taught my son to repeat lines from the movie Princess Bride. I don't think I can express how proud I was when he raised his little eyebrows and told me to "prepare to die".. Emily and I think he is the funniest thing in the whole world. We called him "farm boy" for the rest of the day.

Day 2 of November will be remembered as a SICK Day and it would be boring to do it every day, but today was fun.

November 2009

It is National Blog Posting Month.

I will do my best, I know I can do it. I made it thru August.

I can do it again. At least till we leave for Florida.

We leave in 6 days for 10 days at Mouse Headquarters. 

We lost our window for Swine flu. If anyone gets it now, it would take a miracle to recover before we leave.

Emily is currently holding steady with a 101.00 temp and I'm hoping it's just a cold. Not the flu.

 

Last night was trick or treating in our town and like we have for the last 5 years, we packed the kids up and took them to a real neighborhood.

Emily loves it, she skips from house to house like a princess/Cheer girl/dancer on a mission. She is in it for the NUMBERS.

Aiden: I fear that he will never know the joys of TRICK or Treat. He does not like to walk. He whined the entire time and wanted to ride in the wagon after the FIRST house. We were all tempted to just buy him a bag of candy and call it a day.

Nicole. For the first time in 14 years she wasn't there with me for Halloween. She has FRIENDS.. Whatever. Grow up, get a life.. I will MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY!

My darling nephew Christopher posed for pictures with the kids. His costume confused poor Aiden very much.
