UUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Dayden is sick...AGAIN! For the love of GOD! Not only do I have to miss work again, but this little girl does not deserve to be sick all of the time. While I totally understand this is just part of the "starting daycare" process-it seems to be a little much.

I'm told it's viral again. So her strep/flu swabs were negative. (Thankfully!)

One thing is for sure. She had better not miss a single day of Kindergarten with all of this exposure!!!!!!

Sock Hop

Bailey and Ashlyn had a sock hop at school today. There were contests for each grade level and.....(drum roll please)

Ashlyn won for best costume in 3rd grade and Bailey won the 5th grade dance contest!!!!

I like this quote...

“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”

~Martha Washington

Swine Flu

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Our phones have been ringing of the wall (or desk) at work. Everyone is concerned about the pandemic. It's amazing how many people don't really listen to the guidelines set for by their physicians, local health department, CDC, WHO...

Now, I'll admit that I don't want the swine flu and I certainly don't want my children to contract the swine flu-but I'm not calling my doctor's office after every other news report!!

Sorry yall. I just needed to vent. I need to get back to my bizillion emails coming down from our infectious disease docs.

Hoping everyone steers clear of the swine flu-especailly those of us in healthcare who are most likely going to get it!!

Another Sickly Update

Well, despite the fact that Dayden has been on Augmentin for 7 days, she still started running a fever Friday. I have to believe this "whatever" is viral since she is on the antibiotics. She had fever Friday night, all day Saturday and woke up Sunday fever free. Let's see if she stays that way!!
Her daycare celebrated the "Week of the Child" last week. On Monday we donated toiletries for the Wylie community outreach center. Tuesday I can't seem to remember, Wednesday was breakfast on the go for parents, Thursday was the ice-cream social and Friday was pajama day. Of course, in my typical rush to get out of the house on time I totally failed to take pictures. Needless to say she was super cute in her new pj's and her favorite slippers from Granny's house!!
Bailey and Ashlyn were home for half of the weekend. Their grandmother was in town watching their cousins so we did a switcheroo in the middle of the weekend so they could spend some time with her. Unfortunately, their cousins were sick too. I really hope everyone gets to feeling better soon! I pray that I can continue to stay free of illness myself so Dayden and I can make to California healthy and germ free!!!!

Germs galore

Well, Dayden is sick-again!! Since starting daycare 6 weeks ago she has been sick with something almost every week. Most recently she was diagnosed with Fifth's Disease just Monday. Now...4 short days later she has strep. Who knows the last time I worked a full week at work!!!
She's perking up today and hopefully she'll be well on the road to recovery by tomorrow. I have a mandatory, all-day-long meeting downtown and it's HELL making that up.
