And so it goes...

Last night we went to bed with Emma not feeling good. She had diareah that was literally water, she had a fever, and her cheeks were so red. She went to bed easily and when she woke this morning and crawled on me the fever was still there but just by touch I could tell it was down, the red was gone from her cheeks so I figured she was on her well to feeling better, but could smell she was nasty. Between 8:30 and noon she had 8 WATERY diapers. Her poor little tush looked awful. Last night she also did not eat dinner (that was the biggest sign to me she wasn't feeling good, she loves to eat!). So this morning, I gave her toast..she ate it throughout the morning, she ate 3/4 of it which is a lot because we eat the Whole Grain-Whole Wheat bread which is about twice the size of say "Wonder" bread. Then for lunch I heated up left overs of biscuits and gravy and she ate all of it with a big smile on her face. She went down for her nap very easily, and woke up as perky as could be. The diapers are no longer watery, not normal, but definately on it's way, and the fever is gone.

She went with us to soccer practice (mostly because all my friends have kids her age and I didn't want to directly expose them) I kept her away from everyone. She was giddy to be outside I tell you! I got some cute pictures of her and the boys in the leaves before anyone showed up to practice (we were the first ones there...AMAZING us being the first ones!). I'll share those later (I'm transfering my aol journal right now). So we came home, had dinner and then Chad called!!! Let me tell you how good it was to hear that sweet man's voice! He forgot we are going to Prague this weekend, he's happy we're going and getting out of here for a few days!
I can't remember if I mentioned it here that we're going to Prague and Poland. We leave on Friday. We're going with my friend B and her family, we rented a 2 room apartment (cheaper than a hotel). We don't have reservations for Poland, so say a prayer we don't have a problem finding a hotel there and if we do...we're just going to drive home, it's only about 4-5 hours from here, just would shorten our trip by a day.

Tomorrow is Jacob's last soccer game, Jack's was last week. Then we'll have a breather. I am going to enroll Jack in Tae Kwon Do and Jacob into Cub Scouts. Those will be our "winter" activities, along with Awana. No basketball. If I start to feel overwhelmed I guess we'll have to pull them from TKD and CS, Awana's not an option of pulling out of, but I think we'll be ok with those, plus it'll be a change for us. We've always done basketball and neither of the boys really like it that much and after last year with Jacob and the coach that was to be desired, I just have a bad taste in my mouth and feel it's important to take the break. I think I'll take the kids to a high school game, one of the tournaments on a Saturday (we go to the Hospitality House on Friday Nights).

Well, I'm off to see if the transfer will finish, it's almost done and seems to be frozen.
