This weekend, I started making up my MOTHS schedule (which I am still working on). I got all ready for our first day of school (which was yesterday). I woke up, did my devotions, prayed, showered, had coffee (all pretty much on schedule). Then, it happened...Colan came downstairs with a fever of 102 and a sore throat. I still hoped for the best- maybe he just woke up tired...
So, I kept going, and so did his virus! He began throwing up and couldn't keep down any medication for his fever. I started work with Kala and Lucas and we actually had a lot of learning going on. But Colan, he had a really bad first day! He held the fever all night and it finally broke at about 5 am. Now, he's still throwing up (3 times today) and has a bad sore throat. I have an appointment for him tonight. I don't know if I will need to go to the Dr. though. I'm sure that he just has a virus. But, his best friend just found out this past Sat. that he is a strep carrier. So, a part of me is worrying that he has strep.
Today, the kids have their first soccer. It's not looking good for the 2 older ones! They really want to go, but I refuse to put a puking kid into my van! They are hoping for the best. I'm not too sure!
Well, I need to at least try to keep on schedule! Yesterday, I only ran about 30 min. behind, even with everything going wrong. I put my hubby's dinner on the table at 6:17 instead of 6 pm and I said, "Hurry up and eat, you only have 13 min. left for dinner!" Hubby wasn't too happy!
Did I mention that Co-Op starts on Thursday, THIS THURSDAY!! I have two classes that I'm teaching (Colan is in both!)
Praying for a better day!! Blessings, Kelly
PS- I'll take the !st day back to school picture when Colan can sit up and smile! |

I hope you have a better rest of the week.
(and I don't blame you for the "no puking kids in the car" rule. I think that is an excellent rule to live by!!!! ROFL)
