We woke up to a rainy Monday here. That didn't matter much to me though. Our youngest daughter came down with a nasty stomach bug late Saturday night and she was so sick all day yesterday. She couldn't keep anything down, was running a fever, and ended up hanging out in my bed all day. I hate when the kids are sick, especially when they're this young. She couldn't even keep a cracker down yesterday. :-(
However, this morning she woke (after sleeping all night) feeling much better. After a small bout of dry heaves, she ate some oatmeal and drank orange juice... and it all stayed down! Yay! Looks like it was just a 24 hour thing. Thank goodness!
After a warm bubble bath, baby lotion, sweat shirt and pants, brushed hair and painted fingernails, she's feeling like a new 4 year old. :-) I'm so glad she's feeling better. I have her in my room watching Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure right now.
Today marks the start of the one week that I take off after NaNoWriMo. After such a strenuous month, need one week to de-stress, feel normal again and catch up on housework. Tim and I kicked off the day with some "alone time" while the baby was still asleep. If you have to have a sick kid you might as well take advantage of them sleeping late. ;-)
I'll finish up Christmas stuff this week, as well. It's just a nice week to re-connect with the world and the stuff that makes me happy. I even have a whole week of easy dinners planned so that I won't have to deal with much of that in the evenings. Awwww, peace...
Okay, before I go I want to remind everyone that my monthly newsletter will be going out on Wednesday. It will have all the details about my December-Twitter GiveAway. Be sure to sign up & not miss this issue.
That's it for me today. I'm off to play Xbox with Tim while the sheets are washing. Before I know it the day will be over & I'll be off picking the big girls up from school.
Have a great day and an extraordinarily fantastic week. :-)
