Home For Heaven's Sake

I Spoke Too Soon.

Remember how yesterday I said that I'd rather be sleep deprived than sick???  Well, today I get to be both.  Late last night I developed a sore throat and sinus headache, plus a low-grade temp., and I couldn't get to sleep until almost 3 AM.  At 5:30 AM, my youngest woke me up crying that his head hurt.  Sure enough, he was hot as a firecracker.  Somehow I managed to get up and tend to him and not even grumble about it (by the sheer grace of God and nothing less!).  I gave him some Children's Motrin... which he immediately walked into the living room and threw up on the chair and carpet.  (God's grace was certainly still with me, 'cause I still didn't get upset with him.)  So I took his temperature, it was 103*, and I waited awhile to see if it would go down.  After a half hour, I assumed that the Motrin never made it down to where it could do any good, so I gave him some Children's Tylenol.  Thankfully he kept that down, and within the hour his fever broke.  But he's been a ball of energy ever since!

Dh got up to go to work at 6, and was surprised to see us up.  But, I think he was pleased to actually get some breakfast before he left for work.  At least something good came of the whole ordeal!

Now if I can just stay awake and in a vertical position long enough to take the little twerp to the doctor, which doesn't open until 9 AM.
