Mister worked a night shift last night. He left here at 10:30. I did’t sleep to well last night. Then about 2’something The Snitch came to my bed, coughing. I got up with her around 5am, gave her some water & a little bit of cough medicine. We went back to my bed, where she proceeded to puke in my bed. I felt her head and sure enough, she had fever.
I was just going to send her to my grandma’s like any other day, but I knew she would be lathargic and resting all afternoon and my grandma is in the middle of moving and has no furniture in her house right now! And the spare bedroom only has a box spring on the bed. Grandma’s room has a bed but no television. What good is that to a sick kid, you know?
So I called into work and I’m home with my girl. She seems to have a little more energy than she normally does when she’s sick, but she’s still a little warm and pale looking. As soon as I get her eating I’m going to give her a fever reducer.
Damn, I could sure use a nap, too, and its only 9:30 in the morning.

Oh poor baby!
But if you are like me, I would make the best of a day off. And I can’t tell you how sweet you are to think of the tv thing.
Is your sister moving too?

No, actually my grandma is moving in with my sister. So they’ll both be next door to me, still! Woohoo! My grandma bought bunk beds (the kind w/the full on the bottom) and she’s sharing a room w/my niece. Its working out just fine. Thank Gawd!

Hi guys! Thanks for all the get well wishes for my Snitch.
She slept a lot yesterday, but did manage to eat. Which is really out of the norm for her when she’s sick.
Fever came on again last night & I stripped her out of her jog pants & robe. I let her sleep in a turtle neck & her panties. Mister put her in my bed about 1am and she slept cough free until 5am where she abruptly woke us both b/c she had to go pee! LOL But that was a good thing b/c it let me know she wasn’t dehydrated from the fever.
I felt bad sending her to gma’s house this morning b/c her fever was back.
I did do a lot of holding, hugging & kissing her yesterday. If only that was enough to make her well, you know?
Oh & Mister came home sick, too, yesterday. You know what that means, right? Ugh. Moaning (literally), coughing, moping and whinning.
Give me strength.
