We've got another sick one...

No, it's not me right now, but it could be soon. I'm staying at my friend Jennifer's house this weekend to watch Bella, her almost-three-year-old. Yesterday started out fine. We went to the McDonald's drive-thru (always a hit) and then went to see my friend Joyce's son Chase play basketball at the Y. Both of us enjoyed our outing. We got home and Bella had a meltdown. Hey, she's almost three and her parents are gone for the weekend for the first time in her young life. It's rough. That called for a nap and after her nap things were looking up. Or so I thought.

We were laying on the bed watching TV (K-State basketball game actually) and Bella said she was going to be sick (in so many words). I picked her up and was rushing to the nearest bathroom but we didn't get there in time. Poor thing. Needless to say, as I was cleaning up a bit (me and the floor -- luckily it was tile and I can do laundry) she was sick again. We cancelled the rest of our plans and instead chilled at home. Bella watched "Charlotte's Web" and I finished the book "Songs of the Humpback Whale" by Jodi Picoult. Interesting book but not my favorite that she's written.

Bella's still running a fever and I'm giving her children's Tylenol and a cool washcloth to the foreheard when warranted. After a mostly sleepless night for both of us, she's upstairs taking a nap. I think I'll go join her.

p.s. I promise I'll start posting more soon. My Mom will be at my house on Wednesday and she's got some really cute movies on her camera that I recorded last weekend in Ellinwood. The babies are doing new tricks! Stay tuned.
