It's confirmed. Kendall has strep throat. Poor baby was so quiet, limp and miserable until that 1st dose of childrne's ibuprofen kicked in. It's amazing... 40 minutes later, she was outside while I finished mowing the back yard - picking flowers, inspecting bugs and kicking her legs on the swing. But meanwhile (before the meds made her feel better), I promised her that when she moved out (I get all Verklempt when I think about it!), I would paint the little bedroom all pink and it would be her room (and baby sister Madeline's, of course) where they could stay whenever they came to visit. That earned me a weak smile. I would have promised her the world for less!Theresia did some grocery shopping and cooked the evening meal. Then I took Kendall to the video store to pick out a movie. Don't worry! She didn't touch anything. George came over for dinner and they all watched the latest Star Trek movie (b/c George hasn't seen it yet). Theresia thinks George looks like Spock. It's true! I pretty much high-tailed it to bed at 8:30, but now it's just after 1am and I'm wide awake. I let Lucky out and the wind (which normally thrills me) made me a little nervous for some strange reason.
It's my weekend to work - which pretty much sucks. I'm grateful to have the job, but today I just don't feel it. I want to do other things. I have things that need to get done. I want to visit with Michael and Lizzy while they're in town and celebrate Mother's day with my family
Papa Potts is in town with his wife Tammy - so pretty soon, my bathroom will get done. Yay!
