Sick days are NOT the best

For the most part today, N was pretty much out of it.  He slept for most of the day, his temperature skyrocketed to 103.6, then dropped to 99.9.  He was up and down for most of the day.  I made him rest, and he willingly slept.  That's how I know he's really sick.

Around 2:00, I knew I had to do something to get his temperature down, and I needed to get a book from school so he could be caught up when he returns next week, so I left him resting and went to Walgreens, school, and Market Street.

Obviously, this is entirely fascinating to everyone.  I was stuck at home with a sick kid.  I'm sorry I don't have better stories to tell.

Side note: Blue Bell Fruit Bars?  They're kinda good.  I can't speak for any other flavors, but the peach?  It really does taste like a peach.  Yes,  I know they're made with real fruit, but it actually tastes fruit-ish, which was an added bonus.

N spoke highly of the strawberry.  I could tell he felt a little better because he was laughing while watching Scooby Doo.  I told him to enjoy it while it lasted...and sure enough, an hour or so later, he said, "Mom, I feel hot again."

Well, hello there 103.2.  We didn't really miss you.  Grrrr...

Aside from my quick trip into "normal, healthy land" I've been at home, steering clear of my sick kid.  I might've said I would throw myself a parade if I didn't get this junk, and (not so surprisingly) several people seem to be on board for this event.  I can't see how it wouldn't be fun...

To wrap up my night, I spent a few hours talking to my Twinkie and a friend she introduced me to.  I appreciate good conversation, and someone who can keep up with my antics, so thanks!

I should probably start disinfecting everything tomorrow.  That's my least favorite part about having a sick kid.

Also, my Soul Sister is going wedding dress shopping tomorrow night, and since I live in Texas and she lives in Arizona, I obviously can't go...MAJOR bummer.  I'm looking forward to updates, pictures, and a phone call complete with squeals saying she found "THE ONE!"

Who wouldn't love to get a phone call like that?
