Another Round of NOT AGAIN!

Really? Because I didn't have ENOUGH stress? Let's add some more, shall we! This morning, Toph announced that he had a REALLY sore throat. When I tried to feel his lymph nodes, he cried. Seriously? And today, of all days!

I am SO BLESSED to have a Hubs who can work from home, when necessary. He had an important meeting scheduled at 10, and they did it on a conference call for him. His work family SO ROCKS!

I got to work with Hannah's class making "freshwater fish" today (celery with cream cheese and goldfish crackers). I'm the "cooking Mom" each week, and I really enjoy our adventures in cooking. This week is "F" week. I don't come up with the ideas or anything; just show up and do the cooking. It's really fun. I didn't get to make Kite sandwiches with them last week, because I was sick. Another reason I was glad that Robert could be home this morning.

After school, I got to go to the Chiropractor and get put back together again. After being sick for so long, I was a real mess! Now I feel so much better! From there, I got to take my car to the car doctor. The wheels were making a bad noise--turns out I needed all new brakes.....yikes! But it rides like a dream now! And one of my nice visiting teachers was kind enough to pick me up and bring me back home.

Robert took Toph to the doctor's office, because I had an appointment scheduled at the school this afternoon. He texted me at least 10 times with questions from the new patient forms. I joked around that I couldn't exactly send him a blood sample through text--as a joke in response to ALL of the questions. At least Daddy got to see what it's like to start at a new doctor's office. We love the doc (personal friend), but the start-up paperwork is hideous. The rapid strep test was a big negative, but I'm not buying it. We go back tomorrow for our previously scheduled physicals, and we'll check it out then.

When I got back from my school meeting, we went to pick up the new, improved car, and then we just hung out. Toph's fever shot up to 101+ and he was complaining of a REAL BAD headache. Watched a movie all together, and had "eat out of the fridge" for dinner. I'll cook something "real" for dinner tomorrow. I just couldn't deal with it today.

Oh, and my cousin and her husband came into town last night and stayed here--so if Toph has strep, he's been "spreading the love" to all kinds of people! He was at cub scouts last night--totally fine then! Those parents are thanking me right about now.

So, I could REALLY use a health break.
Anyone with influence listening?!
