I have a confession. I was hoping to not post today. Or more accurately, I was hoping I had plans that kept me so busy that I would have no time to post today. My brother arrived back in the states early Tuesday morning and invited the kids to have a day of goat playing, milking, and bottle feeding (it’s pretty much the highlight of MissE’s life) and me a chance to visit and wind with my very expectant sister-in-law.
But here I sit, in my pajamas, in my own home. Turns out, Biggest had a fever in the night, accompanied by a cough. His cough has dissipated now that he’s up, and fever is gone too. But it wasn’t worth risking infecting anybody else. So home we sit. And since all the kids seem a little “punky,” I am using this time to finish up a course needed for my doula training! Wohoo! I am thinking about making some chicken noodle soup again. But that would involve a trip to the store (which means walking there today), so we’ll see how the day progresses. I’m hoping for some naps since they were all up at 7am in anticipation of going to visit their Uncle.
Hope your day is going swimmingly… and if it’s not, may you turn it that way!
I hope biggest feels better soon! Sounds like he could use that chicken soup!
yes, I think so too! But all’s not lost. I’m letting this “movie day” be used for good- I’ve got all my doula books ordered (what few I don’t already have!), my certification ordered and training session planned, and I’m already a quarter of the way through my on-line breastfeeding “class”! No time wasted here, at least not today!
Sounds like it turned out to be a very productive day!
yes, it did!
Oh, I am so sorry! If I had a quarter for every event we missed because someone got sick at the last second. It is the worst feeling! Hope everyone is better soon!
Sorry to hear about your sick kiddo. Hope the recovery is swift and that no one else gets infected. Hopefully YOUR day turns around soon. 😀
