We have all been sick the last week. Hannah came down with a fever Sunday morning and Maggie got it Sunday night. Sophie had a little cough, but I kept her home to watch her, and I was too lazy to send her to school by herself. They were home Monday an Tuesday. Then Wednesday Katrina came down with a fever. I thought it was the same thing as the other girls, so I didn't take her to the doctor. Unfortunately, she has had a high fever and been very cranky ever since. Maggie stayed home from school on Friday because she had a fever on Thursday night. Then yesterday Sophie fell asleep on Aaron's lap at church and took another nap in the afternoon. That was very unusual, but then she had a fever and cough and threw up, so the naps suddenly made sense. This morning Caleb has a fever, cough and has thrown up. I have used almost two bottles of ibuprofen and am exhausted from getting up with Katrina twice a night for more medicine and general sadness. And I am tired of the constant drone of the TV in the background. I made the kids turn it off on Saturday and go outside and play. It was a beautiful day. They raked leaves into a pile and jumped in it. Then we went to a pumpkin patch to choose pumpkins. It was a fun day, but it looks like I'm in for another week of sad kids. Hopefully everyone will be feeling better soon.
