Today is usually my day off but since I missed Monday and Tuesday of this week and I also had a meeting at work from 7-8:30am I decided I should work at least until noon and plow through the stacks on my desk. Those were good intentions anyway. At 10am the school nurse called and said Quinn had a fever of 103.7 so I left to go rescue him from school. What a week we've had indeed! We got the ibuprofen started right away and while that was working he actually acted pretty normal. He went through his baseball cards and we played a FOREVER long game of Horseopoly (just like Monopoly only with the horse theme). When the medicine wore off he had a bad headache and fever right away which knocked him down to the couch. Poor guy. He was awfully delighted to hear the doorbell ring and for me to discover that it was his buddy Nathan delievering a fresh box of popsicles to cheer him up! Are they fast or what??!! He was sooo happy because we were clean out of popsicles and of course "I was just getting ready to ask you for a popsicle Mom". : ) Soooo, I don't know exactly what his troubles are. We'll see how the day goes tomorrow.
Madison had a better day today, her cough was better. She was a huge grump after school though because she had a lot of homework and "homework is always miserable" according to her. Oh, when does the true love of learning finally occur? After you are done with the intense learning years I guess. Her music class is now learning to play the recorders.... oh, my. All I can say is THANKS to my mom and dad for putting up with the practicing and many mini-recitals I must have also given!!!! Well, she has now accomplished the first few bars of 3 Blind Mice and I'm ready for a different song!
So tonight I went grocery shopping around 7:45 or so.... I didn't get that chore done today and I hate to go on Saturdays, it's SO BUSY! So, after Tony got home I went to Meijer and it wasn't busy at all so that was really, really nice. I guess Friday nights are the nights to go! Check that off the list.
So, this weekend looks like it will be a fairly quiet one afterall. Quinn won't be able to go anywhere tomorrow... no friends over to play... what is he going to do all day??? I see lots of Yahtzee and more Horseopoly in my future! We've played so many games of Yahtzee I think I could play that game in my sleep.
Tony is working again tomorrow. : ( Boy has he ever worked a lot this week. I bet he worked at least 60-70 hours this week. He said he didn't bother to keep track of the hours. I think he really can't count that high. Ha! I hope that slows down.
That's all from our home front. Let me know what's going on at yours...
Love to all, Leah
