Logan helped me make some photo props over the weekend. We made this particular prop with sticks from our tree.

 

We do the Malcolm In The Middle timeout at our house. Carter was watching me deal with Logan and Samantha last week, and as soon as they both got done with their punishment, he decided it was his turn.

A little tidbit

I can still bend over, but it's getting harder.

Running hiiit this time.

Platelets down again.

still sick.

I thought we had rid our house of this sickness we like to call "the Reunion Special", but alas it just wasn't meant to be. Carter had a little reprieve, and then the diarrhea and fever came back. Today has been bad again. I just don't know what to do. The doctor said he didn't know what it was and it would just take care of itself. We officially ended nursing this weekend. Actually Carter wouldn't nurse or eat or anything and I just dried up.

I have to be honest, I'm frustrated and upset and just tired. Sorry to be a downer.

Update

Are you a Sunday napper? I am. But my problem with my Sunday naps is that I always sleep too long. I can easily sleep two hours and most of the time closer to three. This messes up my go to bed time. Mostly I lay in bed well after midnight with my mind going a zillion miles a minute.

This leads to good imagining/dreaming/planning time. Would you care to see what tonight's  lack of sleep has lead to? Ok. To be fair, tonight I actually designed a wedding invitation and submitted it for printing. But actually this was a few nights ago that I dreamed this up.

I'd love to make these beds for my girls. I'd add another drawer though. I'd be able to get rid of their dresser! Then I'd make a new toy storage system. I think I'd do huge drawers on the bottom like the wood cubby picture, but it just seems a better and cleaner idea to use Rubbermaid - like containers for the upper part of the storage system. And I think I'd build a book shelf area into it too. Somehow. I'll think on that some more.

Day 4

This guy is going on day 4 of sickness today. Weird thing is, all he's had is a high fever and diarrhea. Nothing more.

I'm getting worried, so I made an appointment with our doctor. Hopefully we can get this cleared up soon. He's super lethargic and moaning in his sleep. He's dehydrated, though I'm trying to fix that, and just rolls around in bed moaning.

It's the fever that's worrying me though. Between 101 and 103. Mostly it's been at the high end. I hope this goes away soon. I'm so tired of being up all night.
