Pajama Spa Day

Today was a pajama day.

The whole live long day.

Keith was awake for only about 5 hours total the whole day.

And three of those five were after Jeffrey, his best friend in the world, came home.

Faye and I had a lot of time to play, and work on potty training.

I forgot she was wearing her undies and put her to bed.  She stayed dry the whole time!  Yay!

Honestly, I don't think she is going to be potty trained for a while yet, but we can work on it on the rare occasion we are home.

With Keith being sick, we had no where to go.

Faye and I wanted patriotic nails,

A luxurious spa day for the girls.

Patriotic nails to pass the time.

A cuddly cuddle day for Keith.

Sometimes you just need a day to slow down and take it all in.

I am hoping he does get better tomorrow, though.

A sick little guy is no fun.

Ever.

Except when he cuddles.

I love his hot little body and whimpering sighs.  The tiny arms that wrap around my neck and the snuggles into my body just make me happy.

However, I am a horrible mother for having sick children.

As Keith's fever stayed consistently high, I turned to Google.  Because that is where we all go for information, but where we should never go for health information.  

Because those commercials for meningitis terrify me.  The empty desk, and the empty swing, and the music, and the voice over guy talking about how the child was fine, then got sick and the next day died.  Scary!

Thank heavens for my brother who can set me right.  I am no longer worried it is meningitis.  And with luck, Keith may be a bit better tomorrow!  As of ten mintues ago, his fever was down to 100.8!  Yay!

When the fever gets that high, my pediatrician always had me take off their clothes, wipe them down with a washcloth, and fan them. They don't like it much at the time, but they like it better than a tepid bath...and they feel lots better afterward!

If the fever goes back up in the stratosphere, and since it's not flu season and that's a high fever for other than flu...you might want to take him to the doc and make sure there isn't something going on that needs to be addressed.

As for meningitis, my doc always used to have me ask my child to put his neck down and watch closely to see if it was painful for him.

Sending prayers for healing Keith's way!

poor little guy... =( But at least you were looking on the bright side and using the day for lost on one on one time with your little girl =) I end up doing the same thing with my kids... One on one is so important but hard to get in all the time

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
