Sickos

Oh boy.  We're all sick here at our house.  That doesn't count my husband because he's not really at the house.  His day always begins at five when he gets up and out of the house in about 10 minutes.  Last night he got home around eight.  Tonight he'll be on duty - meaning he won't be home at all.  And tomorrow night is turning into another "late" night, meaning seven or eight.  Emma is usually in bed by then (or should be) and Ari just starting her nighttime routine.  Jase usually gives her her bath, which is at eight, so if he makes it he does that.  But all this gone time does mean that he's not exposed to the germs around here nearly as much.  Last night he came home, did the bath, had some dinner and sacked out on the couch.  Not much time to contaminate.  

Ari woke up with a fever of 101.7.  Poor baby.  She's got a runny nose too.  That's it.  As long as I keep her in tylenol she does alright.  Emma's had cold for two days.  Runny nose, cough etc.  No fever.  But she can't sleep much without someone holding her and helping her when she coughs.  So guess who's not gotten much sleep either.  Tonight I'm just going to admit I'm going to spend the night in the chair and set myself up to get as much sleep there as possible.  My throat issue is back as a result of the lack of sleep and I've got at least two open sores in there right now.  I can feel exactly where they are.  My wonderful neighbor Michele is going to come over and be with the girls a bit tonight so I can go and get more meds up a Long's for all of us.  This Saturday we're holding a block party here at our house for all the kids to decorate cookies, so we'd better all be mostly well by then.  

I have been knitting some.  I've got the stocking mostly done for Emma.  I'm working in the ends and I need to do the heel.  I found it difficult to work on the heel without the ends worked in.  Then I have to line the thing with fabric.  That's a whole nother project in itself really. 

I also started my Master Knitters program finally, beginning with the first swatch.  I had a long talk with Jason the other night about being my own worst enemy in holding myself back from my potential so I thought I'd better fight this and get to it.  In other news I've decided to stay 200 lbs. for the rest of my life.  We all got sick when I got sick trying to go back to the gym.
