Round II

I'm having flash backs of last weekend. Here we go again, round II of Oklahoma Ice Storm 2007. Only in Oklahoma would someone name a storm. I just made a huge pan of chili and we have all but one (Megan) of the kids home. Unfortunately, two of them are sick. I picked up the little ones from daycare yesterday after work and they told me Sierra had been laying in the office all day long. She didn't look well. She said she had been running a fever at the other house the day before and hadn't been to the doctor yet, which didn't sit too well with dad. Now we were looking at 7pm on a Friday evening with a major snow storm headed our way and a child with a fever of 103.2. Sierra started complaining that her side hurt and she was burning up so Brett took her immediately to the Mercy After Hours Clinic while I stayed home with JB. He called me around 10pm and they were just getting in to see the dr. The strep test came back positive so after leaving the doctor and going by to get her medicine, they didn't get home until after midnight. She is sleeping right now...poor thing. And JB has a sinus infection and a cough. I just hate it when the kids are sick, I feel so sorry for them. We are all trying not to get in SB's face so we don't pass it around the house. Brett just went to the store to try and find her a puzzle or something she can do to keep her busy without a lot of physical activity. I think they are both bored too tears because they've been couped up in the house all week.


We decorated JB's room while he was gone...new bed, Superman comforter, valance and throw. We moved his furniture around so he wouldn't climb on his dresser, which was his favorite thing to do with the old bed. So this morning I walk in and find him standing on top of the dresser, getting prepared to jump off onto his bed. Which is not exactly next to his dresser. He is such a climber and is in constant motion. It's amazing he hasn't broken any bones yet. We also got him a white noise machine to help him sleep. He decided he wanted to listen to "rain" last night and I think it actually helped.

The snow/sleet hasn't hit us hard yet, but I just heard it is moving slower than expected. Guess we will be in for at least a couple of days, if not more. Hopefully it will end soon. We leave next weekend for a Marketing Conference in Las Vegas. I'm excited! Brett is going with me so we can meet up after my meetings. I'm sure he will find something to do while I'm working :)

Hope everyone is staying warm, and safe! BTW...RC, if you're reading this, you're emails keep coming back undeliverable...what's that about?
