Germs

When I picked up Big from school today, his teacher told me he hadn't been himself at all today. As soon as he got in the car, he started bawling. He said everything felt bad.

Luckily, although it was the end of the day, they fit us in at the doctor's office. Fever, red throat with a blister, and a headache. It's probably just a virus, but he's been asleep since he got home this afternoon. So, it should be an interesting night. Will he sleep until morning? What will his temperature be when he wakes? Will he be hungry? Time will tell.

What makes me even more sad is that tomorrow is his last day of school before Christmas break. The whole school is getting together to 'Sing Around the Tree' and then have class parties. Thankfully, his friend's mom, who was my friend in school, is coming by to get his gift for the gift exchange so he can still participate.

I really hope he's better by Christmas and that none of the rest of us get it.

In other news, we continue to make progress around the house. The dining room is painted, so now we can start moving the furniture into that room. We're basically unpacked except for the man cave and some other random boxes.

Hopefully after tonight, my laundry room will be in working order. Oh joy! Isn't it depressing to be an adult and get excited about such matters as a working laundry room?

Although we've certainly made progress, there is still so much to do to make the house how we want it. Thankfully, time is on our side.

Since Big will be home sick from school tomorrow, I'm seriously considering take a good chunk of the day off from work on the house and spending it watching Christmas movies with the boys.

It sounds as though Big is waking up. I better go - a mommy's work is never done.
