We’ve had a full weekend. Laura’s been fighting a low grade fever for a couple of days. There have been 5 confirmed cases of strep at daycare. Saturday morning she woke up with a sore throat. I didn’t want to mess around and wait so I took her in to the doctor. Her 9:30 appointment lasted until 11:00. Her rapid strep test came back negative, but it also did for the other 5 cases of strep. We are still waiting on the culture results. She is still running a fever, anywhere from 100-101, almost 102. She is acting ok otherwise. I had made plans to go out for lunch then go see The Lorax with Mandy at 2:00 on Saturday at the River Falls theater. Since it was so close to time for us to meet, I just kept Laura with me. We did lunch at Perkins. The movie had sold out for that day. We ended up purchasing tickets on Saturday for the Sunday showing.
Today we kept Laura home from church. Partly due to illness and partly due to laziness on our parts. I did get Laura to take a little bit of a nap this morning before leaving. We left for the movie at 12:45. She was a bit excited. She did really well during the movie. She was sad to come back home. While driving she wanted to go to Best Buy. I asked her why. “I want to play with an iPad.” Funny girl! She was playing with Mandy’s iPad while waiting for the movie to start. This afternoon/evening has been nice and quiet.
Here is another funny Laura gem from this week:
Laura: I got the hiccups
Me: Where did you get them?
Laura: From Shopko!
Time to get going on dinner for the kids and us. Some of us have to work tomorrow. It is also the beginning of Dance Theatre season. Load-in begins tomorrow night.
