It's the first week of summer vacation. Daddy's away on a business trip. We have daily swimming lessons for all 3 boys in the morning. I have a million things to do around the house and in the garden. My sister just had a baby and could probably use some extra help with her kids. So you know what that means right?
Yes, somebody had to go and get sick. Kira started a fever yesterday afternoon, but it cleared up with Motrin and she was cheerful and busy in time for Damon's lacrosse game. She ran all over while I tried to watch him play (he was the goalie). Then when we got home, her fever went up again, to 103.5. This morning, Damon came into my bed with a fever too. He took Tylenol and it cleared up, so 2 hours later when it was time for Patrick and Campbell to go to swimming, he begged me to go in. I would have preferred to say 'no' to him, but he can't afford to miss too much swimming and I figured that the other kids in his class were exposed to him yesterday anyway. He came home and went to sleep and has been on the couch ever since. Kira is very clingy though.
My sister's kids are sick with an ear infection and a gastro infection. Luckily my mother has the week off of work to help her out.
