A BUMMER OF A DAY


this is my poor son minutes before I picked him up and moved him to the bottom bunk in his room.

the poor little guy is sick again.

he was running a low fever yesterday, 99-100, so I really had thought a good night's sleep would make him feel tons better.

nope.



he woke up with 101.5.



and then about 30 minutes later threw up.

he seemed better after sipping on gat*rade and eating a few crackers over the next few hours....but then around 11:30 he said he wasn't feeling well again.

fever is up over 102 now.

it's a bummer for a NUMBER of reasons

1) I hate seeing my little boy sick. you know a BOY is sick when all they want to do is lay on the couch. just not like him.

2)today was supposed to be a special "mom's day" for me. My mom was going to take the kids for me today so I could get caught up on things around the house and finally start putting together a scrapbook for Elizabeth. She was even going to take them to a local museum that had "dinosaur bones"!
bummer for all 3 kids AND mommy

3)and to top it off -we woke up to find out our satellite tv is out. apparently our 4 week old receiver box blew out last night.

we have no tv

for at least 2 days.

not that we watch all that much...but when you have a sick kid who can't leave the house and can't get up off the couch -what are you suppposed to do?!

it's been movie day today.
lots of videos.
and thanks to grandma who stopped by with a few from her house that were "new" to my kids.

now just hoping noone else gets this.
I did have the girls wipe the bathrooms down with sanitizing wipes, and then we hit all the door handles and light switches. :)

Poor Andrew!!! Praying he feels better really soon and that no one else gets sick! Sorry about your mommy day, we all need those everyonce in a while! Remember when the boys were in Alaska? I thought I'd have 10 mommy days...look what happened. I got NOTHING accomplished!!! Love you and praying for you all!!!

I'm sorry your baby is sick. It's heartbreaking to see them down. Hopefully you can reschedule your mommy day soon.

Ugh, that is a bummer. Having just come through a period of one of my boys being sick, I can completely sympathize with you. I do hope he feels better soon and that the germs don't spread to anyone else!

A sick child AND no TV?!?!!! Jeanette, you deserve a Mommy Merit Badge for this one. Praying Andrew feels better soon.

Yeah, that is definitely not good - sick & no TV. Even Mallory will sit and watch a little when she's really yucky. Poor Andrew! I hope he gets better soon and that it doesn't spread!
