Today was a little hard on my girls. The littlest one is sick. She's had a fever of 102 and lots of coughing, even throwing up at one point. She woke at 1:30 AM and had a pretty miserable night in our room. I am not feeling all that great either, so I wasn't sleeping. She spent all day on the sofa, napped a couple of times, and is resting again now after finally eating something more substantial than soda crackers. It's hard to see my lively littlest girl as such a noodle. Normally she never stops talking and now she complains that everything is too noisy and just wants to snuggle with me on the sofa. She doesn't know, but she's going to have to miss Bike Day tomorrow because of the "no return to school until 24 hours fever-free" rule.
Abby forgot her lunch today and I didn't notice until about an hour before her lunchtime at school. (I know this because I called the school to see if I could put money on an account for her.) A panicky call to Hans revealed he'd given her $20 for lunch. Well, she's my girl after all. I got to talk to her on her drive home and it turns out, she tried waiting in line in the cafeteria to get food and got almost to the front before she got too nervous and just sat back with her friends. Her friends shared a cheese stick and something else inconsequential. Certainly not too much on the nutritious side. At least she's fed now. I feel terrible since I had enough time to race her lunch to her, but Hans reassured me he'd taken care of things. Guess we forgot to make sure she'd be able to follow through with it.
Eli's at soccer practice now. Pip is falling asleep on the sofa, refusing suggestions of readying for bed. Abby is outside collecting potato bugs with her father for his classes tomorrow. Sounds normal. :)
