Sick Day Activities

My son woke up one morning last week and decided that he was sick.  I wasn't sure about it until I took his temperature and it was 101.5 degrees.  UGH!  I thought that we were almost done with the sickness but we did a bath and Advil and he felt instantly better but we stayed home from school and I got a sub.

I was trying to make the most of the day so I did a load of darks, ran a load in the dishwasher, and made cinnamon rolls while taking care of my son at the same time.  By then I was exhausted!

I sat down and wrote at least 10-12 posts because I was really far behind on blogging (and I was avoiding washing the dishes)!  I got lots of posts scheduled so that I won't be behind for the upcoming month.  I am really excited to say that I have accomplished a lot on my blog.

I got some toast into my son and a little cereal but not much else and I even offered him Doritos or anything else that he wanted including hot out of the oven cinnamon rolls (which I ate some for myself).  We both took a much needed nap really late in the afternoon.  After trying to stay asleep, I realized that I hurt my finger way more then I thought I did when I jammed it on the dryer.  I iced it down with an ice pack a few times but I think that I messed it up really good.  The whole finger is really swollen and is throbbing but hoping I didn't break it!  UGH!!  See what happens when I try to be productive!  Totally not worth it.

Resting went up to dinnertime when I got up to get my husband's yummy birthday dinner ready for him to put the finishing touches on.  We got to have Omaha Steaks (Thanks Lynn and Drew) and mashed potatoes while my little man slept on the couch.  We gave him some medicine and then carried him to bed.  He sweat through his clothes so my husband changed him and he slept for a little bit and woke up.  He sweat through his clothes again so we changed him again and gave him some toast and more medicine and he was asleep in under 30 minutes from the time he woke up.  It is tough having a sick little man because he just doesn't know what to do about it.  Here is hoping that it is the end of the sicknesses here but we are taking shifts tomorrow so that we can both make it to work for part of the day and the little man can rest through the weekend if he needs to.
